Always more primary and brooding from barrel than its communal counterparts, Tremblay's 2022 Vosne-Romanée Vieilles Vignes unwinds to reveal aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with notions of burning embers, spices and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a concentrated core of succulent fruit and powdery structuring tannins, it will reward patience.

Luca Currado farms in the Brunate cru on the La Morra side of the vineyard (as opposed to the Barolo side), and this wine includes fruit from new parcels. The differences are subtle to be sure, but I always associate La Morra with an extreme silkiness and softness. I find those qualities apply to this wine. The Vietti 2016 Barolo Brunate shows blue flowers, forest fruit, wild cherry and truffle-infused earth. It reveals a lean but open-knit quality that you sense in the mouth. That softness, or textural silkiness, continues for many long minutes with hints of mint, licorice and camphor ash doled out carefully along the way. The tannins are polished and long. This is an extremely elegant Brunate.
