About
this Tasting
Case:
Each wine in this case is a truly singular production
possessing all the elements of a great wine story—defining
producer, distinguished site, and stellar vintage. Of greatest
significance, of course, is the power play they enact—coalescing
in a manner that preserves their individual virtues/dimension
while effectuating the preeminent virtue of longevity.
It is in their prodigious evolution, in fact, that the
class and quality of the producer, site, and vintage will
be fully realized. Each will proceed through several phases,
revealing the potential that was there all along—quietly
signified upon release to those aware of such prescient
depth.
There are several marquis Italian bottlings that are not
included here—their exclusion does not imply that
they are lesser creations. While several of these will
certainly age over a fairly long period, they shine most
brilliantly in other realms (indeed, certain vintages of
the wines represented here would not make this case)—projecting
the quality of a certain vintage or the prodigious revelation
afforded by an artisanal mind. A view from the cellar inspired
this case—and it is our hope that it will be the
source of profound inspiration in your wine futures….
