Was hoping Rome wouldn't feel like ATL when we land tomorrow, but it's going to be a hot week...

Dennis Atick

Yeah I'm wondering the same. Not a producer I've heard of but pretty big claims on the fruit source. Of course the magic of Selosse is all in the winemaking so I'm not being immediately persuaded. Edit: a decent PDF which summarizes the production is available here: https://static1.squarespace.com/...

That was a long wait for that name! Definitely belongs on the list. A long, excellent track record.

Dinner reservation at Roscioli next Wed night! Looking forward to it. And Emma for lunch on Tuesday. Paul- Thanks for the detail on Rimessa, thought about that, but went with Roscioli proper instead.

I haven't opened the shipping box yet. I rec'd 2 sets which translates to 2 BdB 2 BdN and 2 Rose

This is the they type of patience and self-control I lack.

Dennis Atick

Thanks for the note Dennis. What I really like about the Ultramarine sparklers are that they have both the raw material for aging and improving but still have the balance for an early look, especially on a warm evening when that exuberant youth is quite refreshing. Tom (guilty of Ultramarine baby k...

Can someone help me with the insane hype for these wines. The auction price on CT is $173 and Wine Searcher shows a couple of retailers selling it for $225-$299...WTF??

Occasionally tempted to let mine go when I see those prices the past year or so.
Agree with you and David.

Similar to my thoughts on the 2014 BdN. Needs some time to come together.

Yep. Not a good mix for those like me that tear through these with reckless abandon!

I wasn't planning on opening this, but just grabbed something that I knew would be good and compelling after opening two white wines which were both not sound (no, not premoxed white Burgs, for a change) Anyway, wise men and women will leave this alone for a while and let it stretch its legs and set...

Ilkka,

My first experience with this producer. Very nice stuff! Will be trying his Saints Anne and Les Barres at some point also.

Cheers,
Doug

Nice note, Doug. I need to try the Rose. The St. Anne is close to a house champagne for me. Love the stuff. Delivers in that price range. Cheers.

I wish I had King JJJuliussss! I would not be selling it.
2 can limits all week AND my mule is out of town.
Can probably find it on mybeercollectibles for $50 per can!

Dennis Atick

That's a pretty good group to find.
'02 Truchot Sentiers is one of my top Burgundy of the past couple years.
Pretty much everything I want in a wine.
Wish I was a buyer when they were $50 not all that long ago. LOL
Nice lineup and notes!

Dennis Atick

I'm not kidding.

Ordered 3 bottles. I did as well. My first glance for pricing on my phone turned up pricing for the Langhe bottling at $25. Threw me off. haha even the CT picture at this point is a bottle of the Langhe. but for the 2015 barbs the best price I could get around here is $39. guessing the '16s will be...

Kudos on an accurate title for your thread

Dennis Atick

Who knows, Dennis. I know/trust your palate on these wines (along with Don), so it's hard for me to say given your recent takes. As I mentioned, it's the first time I've drank an Arcadian and thought the wine was possibly on the decline. CT says I have no more bottles but I thought I saw one in the...

I'm usually not one for the night two check in, seems most wines don't really go anywhere good. But this one really rounded out and came a bit more supple on night two. Seems to bode well for those of you who have some and can leave alone for a bit. A nice drink.

Thanks Kelly and John for continued data points.
I fear, however, that there aren't many excuses remaining for why BdM just does not appeal to me.
Different strokes.

I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger (when it comes to JJ Prum).
More please.
Sounds great, David.

Dennis Atick

David- Am interested in further updates, especially Montalcino as I'll be there in a few weeks. Hope you had a good trip!

Dennis Atick

I find that I like BdM from north of the town much better typically than the southern side. but I would also say you can't judge BdM by a 15% wine! Good point. My recent explorations have been mostly south side. Have some from the north I've yet to open. Hoping that makes a difference as I;ve yet t...

That sounds awesome. Thanks, Dale. I'm a new-ish convert to Produttori, waiting for mine to reach maturity like this.

On the other side of the culinary spectrum in Savannah, have you tried Zunzi's? Probably more for SCAD students than for SCAD parents, but it has its place.

Just came across this recent tweet and thought of this thread.
