Fun to visit as a counter balance to the Rhônes but it was drinking pretty tight. Great producer but this is a hold for now.

WNH event number two. Rhône varietal wines with TX BBQ...a match made in Heaven! This was one of the leftover bottles from the Italian night yesterday. This tastes so young...impeccable structure. Very floral nose of rose petals and candied cherries. Red clay, herbs de Provence, cherry tobacco on the palate. Decant for a few hours if opening now. Another beauty from @Joe Lucca .

Again, patience rewarded! This baby has rich but softening tannins , bright fruits and that elegance that defines a Nebbiolo. I am told that this winemaker, in particular, never misses. This might be the vintage that supports that acclaim

A Burgundy lover's Barolo. Textured, silky bright cherries with a tempered tannic structure. This shows richness & depth, yet has a wispy weightlessness which brings you right back to the glass. Approachable now, but will certainly cellar beautifully. Exceptional.
