with deeply pitched sweet cream and butter tones and a slow-to-unfold singed pineapple flavor

The 2000 Barolo Bric del Fiasc (magnum) explodes onto the palate with layers of raspberry jam

Fruit thrives from 220 to 280 meters above sea level with full southern exposures facing La Morra

My visit to these historic cellars earlier in the year was an eye-opening experience

Paul Jaboulet Aine, Hermitage Chapelle Vintage:2007 with deeply pitched sweet creamSo inky and unfathomably profound in shade, this wine may stain your stemware as well as your palate with its caliginous hue. With a decanter filled with crme de cassis, this full bodied, concentrated dream liquid fills your mouth and coats your palate while mesmerizing your senses for at least 60 seconds. The fruit bestows purity, intensity, length and precision. In its youth, it's intellectual; when it matures, it will be a hedonistic coup dtat. Is
