Addy Bassin's MacArthur Beverages - Fine Wine and Spirits Since 1957

"The 2006 Korem is 55% Bovale Sardo, 35% Carignano and 10% Cannonau. A fresh, vibrant red, it reveals layers of crushed rocks, minerals, grilled herbs, dark jammy fruit and French oak in a rich, full-bodied frame." Antonio Galloni

"Shows berry jam and Indian spices, with hints of red licorice. Full-bodied, long and rich, with dried fruit that turns to raisin and Christmas pudding spices." James Suckling
- Wine Spectator

"Readers seeking a combination of power and elegance with moderate tannin should check out La Palazza's opaque purple-colored 1997 Graf Noir, a blend of 30% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 20% Negretto Longanesi. Aged for two years in wood, it is a textured, multi-dimensional, impressively-endowed, concentrated wine that would be difficult to pick out as Italian in a tasting of top-class Bordeaux."

"If Nebbiolo were a white grape, it might taste much like the 2003 Ribolla Gialla Amphora This powerful, rich wine flows from the glass with sweeping fruit buffered by elegant tannins and pretty notes of minerality. Everything is in the right place in this gorgeous, large-scaled Ribolla. " Antonio Galloni

"The 2001 is an extreme Montevetrano bursting with masses of super-ripe fruit that walks the tight rope of ripeness stopping just short of going overboard. This is by far the most opulent, full-throttle vintage of Montevetrano ever made. Chocolate, spices and new leather lead to jammy dark fruit. Despite the wine's overt richness the firm tannins confer elements of classicism that act as a foil. In 2001 Aglianico comes through in spades." Antonio Galloni
