2007 Luciano Sandrone Dolcetto d’Alba

July 3rd, 2009

2006 Luciano Sandrone Dolcetto d’Alba
The 2006 Dolcetto d’Alba is the gorgeous, layered vino installed with aromatic dim fruit. This sumptuous, richly-structured Dolcetto should splash beautifully over the subsequent couple of years. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2011.

This is the really clever set of entry-level vinos from Luciano Sandrone, the single of Piedmont’s tip growers. In the segment full of outspoken, full of color producers, Sandrone stays not overly tannic-spoken as well as rsther than shy, though his vinos verbalise for themselves rsther than eloquently.

2008 Bruno Giacosa Roero Arneis

July 3rd, 2009

| CO CHRIS. The initial non-Dante vino I’ve consumed, arrange of bitter-sweet, adore to see a 08 out…the nose is flowery, peaches, pears, minerality, Albarino-like, reminiscent…viscous, honeyed fruit, long, some-more sensuous than we design form Arneis, maybe selected is entrance through. Might buy an additional 2-3 for a rest of a summer sipping season. Personally we similar to them some-more high-acid, as a 07 seemed rught away on release. Is this vintage, or is a brand new vinomaker during Giacosa causing this shtuff? we goal a former. - Tasted 7/3/2009. |

2006 Elizabeth Spencer Cabernet Sauvignon Special Cuvée

July 3rd, 2009

| ivsimler. Too damn not overly tannic for the cabernet in my opinion…and unequivocally not the “bordeaux” type. So it was American, but grabbing we by the balls as well as starting YEAH…I’m the CABERNET…and unequivocally not competing with unequivocally great french bordeaux either.
