Rosés over $25? Dozens of times. There are some truly spectacular ones out there, and while Domaine Ott is marvelous, it's not near the pinnacle of great rosés out there.
We should all be so lucky to drink more Brunello! I love the stuff. I remember tasting a series of Brunello's and separating the Modern from the Traditional where it seemed obvious. Modern also leaned into newer oak in many cases. There are holdouts for less alcohol and new oak, but those don't seem to hit the US market and seem to stay in Italy, but I get it, same as SuperTuscan
One could say the same about Brunello compared to say a Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva, but I do really like Poggione. Had a 2016 not long ago that was more than delicious.

I appreciate the use of "felicity" in the Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino 2019 review.
Thank you, and thank you for reading.
Never thought I would see French Rosé that outcharged Tempier!
I have not often described a wine as “expensive” but they’re — expensive.
