“The 2021 Asiram is 100% Merlot from deep blue/olive-hued clay soils. Black cherry, plum, leather and spice are all dialed up. The 2021 opens up considerably with air, showing all the potential I sensed from the barrel sample last year and offering striking aromatic presence. Copious red-toned fruit, rose petal, blood orange, chalk, white pepper and pomegranate all confer notable energy and vibrancy to complement the wine's textural opulence. Production is just four barrels.”

Comments across Last Bottle deals and wines.
This Brunello is delicious. Had it with beef shank ragout. Glad I got two.
I'd be happy to hear what's in any/all the mystery cases, if someone has received them!
