A few bottles of a vintage Gruet didn't disappoint on xmas day:
A local liquor store stocks Gruet and orders cases for me.

Very strong start with a wonderful soft fruit finish. Had to decant it to bring out the finish. Thought I wasn't going to like it at first (undecanted...I was thirsty!).
Edit: it's really growing on me.

I continue my journey around the world with this easy drinking sipper!
Popped the bottles and started decanting around 11am, they are finally starting to open up. This is going to be a fun journey!

Happy New Year everyone.

My favourite wine I drank in 2020. It was a late release from the chateau and had been recorked there so was in perfect condition. If you were tasting it blind you would never guess 1955, it still had some fruit and freshness.
There was also a ‘59 and ‘61 on the wine list which I plan to try when lockdown is over.

I really love a lot of Italian reds and this one is a fine example.
I've never heard of Nero di Troia. Any relation to Nero d'Avola?

I am not sure but it had definite similarities. I joined Laithwaites as a Christmas gift to myself. It was a bottle they included in their Red Italian package. I should spend more time learning about the vintages but in reality I just like to try new wines.
Nero d'Avola is one of my all time favorites. Had my first bottle outside Milan in 2017 and buy it anytime I see it.

Had a pleasant surprise today when I popped into a wine shop close to my friends house and they had a lot of top Burgundy producers. I went for a Lignier as I haven’t tried him before and it did not disappoint.
@RocAFella1 @ over $200 a bottle I dont think so. It may have been a mistake to open it, maybe it is like some of the burgundies where I should have waited a few years.
Friends say: We are bringing champagne for new years... When they showed up... Me Happy.

Opened this one to "get it out of the way". However, after an hour it is starting to open up and is better than I thought.

I will give it some time, but damn it smells like port-a-potty atm. Ack!

Port-a-potty made way on the nose to pure BO after a bit. Some time later, the nose is still a bit funky but more pleasant. Ended up being some decent wine. Never had ANYTHING quite like that experience.

Did it open up?

Yes, it took longer than I expected. But it was better ultimately than the first bottle. But damn man, wtf with that fowl odor?
That's the "bull" part.

Edit: noticed picture is bad. Collezione di Paolo.
I consider Nero d' Avola to be a truly Geek wine and drink as much of it as I can; even if the heretical, secessionist Papal forces
, currently dominant in the Italian peninsula, term it otherwise.If in doubt, read!

It's all the Greek's fault for letting the Trojans escape. That came back to bite them in the ass pretty hard.

Nice fruit-dark cherry/berry with soft tannins, nicely balanced. Probably $50+/- range. Enjoyed it.
