    TN: Juge Vertical in NYC (June 3, 2018)

    Also interested in hearing the story on 2015. I remember tasting the wine from barrel 2-3 years ago and it was fantastic. The 2014 was selling in Astor NY for 75$ 18 months ago...I now do not see it for less than 350

    A somewhat embarrassing admission, still, thought I'd share...a new Rule.

    I also find the old wines suffer when mixed with sediment. They become muddy and blurry if mixed together In my case, I usually let them stand for a few days. For serving, a wine cradle is a good tool for serving

    Ar Pe Pe

    Good winery and wines. Burgundian barolo seems an appropriate descriptor for it. They show better with some age, as acidity tones down. I particularly like their Sassella Rocce Rosse. BTW, looking at prices there, the 3 tier system + hype makes them very expensive in the US compared with Europe
