Remi FjelldalAmateur

Enthusiastic appreciator of quality and informed decision making. Aficionado on the art of food and beverage. My ratings are impacted by my subjective preference however I try to be as objective as possible. No formal wine education, my wine knowledge comes from tasting over 800 wines blind and continuing(and obviously more not blind). Reader of many wine books and articles knows most of the wset 3(+/-1) stuff.

Charming crushable Italian white delivers on what it tries to achieve but nothing too serious and it's probably a good thing. People will enjoy this. Shame it's very pricey for what it is.

Leans heavily on the side of simplicity and "elegance" lacks depth complexity and structure to be more spectacular. Don't get me wrong it's a beautiful wine but also quite anonymous in it's expression. Intriguing but to me the structure and weight is off to give more expression and depth to the subtile complexity it tires to achieve.

Red wineStella di Campalto (Podere S.Giuseppe) Rosso di Montalcino 2016

light ethereal yet deep seriously complex needs time in the decanter to open up even more generous red fruit of cherry flower fields tomato basil oregano spice hints of tobacco, earth forest but not in a burgundy way. More like a spring pine forest, long as a summer day, round yet focused lazy authoritarian tannins . Feminine authoritarian beautiful deady killer that leaves a everlasting impression. Taste stays for minutes.

Red wineGiuseppe Mascarello Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

12.04.2025

Beautiful structure and energy roses strawberries sour cherries piercing acidity tension and balance. Definitely not a Barolo or barbaresco in style as tannins are more approachable I forgot langhe could still be this serious. Fabulous / all tasted and scored blind (justice cotes jura and this)
