dry and notably more complex finish that is perceptibly firmer

black truffles and charcoal plus a fragrant waft of violets

The 2018 Barolo Cerequio is lovely

Doctor Nicolas Catena told me that he planted there out of fluke and then they realized he had discovered a treasure of a place

and very focused and harmonious on the finish

David & Nadia, Hoe-Steen Chenin Blanc other_regions dry and notably more complexThe 2022 Hoe Steen Chenin Blanc comes from a vineyard of clay soils over limestone, with a south facing aspect that is among the last to ripen. The nose is open knit and expressive with layers of wet stone and spicy lemon skin. Medium bodied, the palate is balanced with good acidity before ending with a fresh, clean finish. It's delightful, but I still prefer the 2021 vintage.
