It's basically a copy of the Zalto but much cheaper. Excellent quality though, very thin but still pretty durable. https://www.spiegelau.com/en-gb/shop/definition/burgundy-glass-1350160 1 1

I'm an old school Barolo drinker, who still expects a 20 year old to be in its first flush of youth 🙂Even given '07's heat, I was a little surprised at its advanced development, especially for a prime Serralunga like Vigna Rionda. But very enjoyable nonetheless.

It's the Single Blended series collaboration with Velier, which comes in different bottle shape and packaging from the Exceptional Cask series and the occasional Private Cask series. You are way ahead of me with the Exceptional Casks - there are so many releases to date I've lost track. It also seems like the Exceptional Cask series has come to an end. https://farehamwinecellar.co.uk/the-complete-foursquare-exceptional-cask-selection-list/ 3

Still young even, great concentration. I chose the Recioto over the regular Amarone because you don't run into it everyday, especially at a restaurant. I had some foie gras and duck which worked alright with the wine, though it wasn't ordered with pairing in mind.I was at Brennan's in New Orleans. Nice list, mostly classics. Nothing cheap, but reasonable mark-up for a restaurant. Strong Burgundy and Bordeaux. They had multiple vintages of both the Quintarelli as well as dal Forno, but since I couldn't recall which vintage to choose from, I went with the '97 Recioto. Giuseppe Quintarelli was still the winemaker during that vintage. 2
