Good wine, but I’m happy it’s gone.
Last write-up of my Tuscan week: the delicious Chianti wines of Fattoria di Petroio.
Perhaps my most exotic tasting ever: 3 bottles from Albania. And actually a good surprise: drinkable and interesting stuff.
Valdipiatta Vigna d’Alfiero vertical 2008-1983: leading Vino Nobile di Montepulciano in top shape.
Brunello 2007 is fun to drink, at long last.
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano has just improved on last year but the general level is still unsatisfactory.
A statistical look at my tasting of 97 Chiantis from 2009 – for fun and, hopefully, education.
First taste of 2009 Chianti Classico. Looking good – producers have coped well with this hot, dry vintage.
Tasting the new 2011 vintage of Vernaccia di San Gimignano, I feel refreshed, interested, and happy.
