The NV Pedro Ximénez Solera 1927 is non-vintage, but does have some 1927 material in it. This is totally dark brown/ amber with notes of figs, toffee, caramel syrup, molasses and coffee. It is dense, super sweet, intense, rich and an amazingly, unctuously textured, thick beverage to consume slowly and introspectively after a meal. Drink now through 2050, or even longer.
Luca De Marchi has started working with Bramaterra relatively late, but I feel his bottling is now cruising at the same high altitude as his classic Lessona. With its bright ruby colour, high acidity that really tastes of cool climate, and firm, grainy tannins, it is very authentic, traditional in a backward, ungiving way, although the sweet ripe fruit is there, too. Just released now, this will give more pleasure in two years.

The 2018 Bramaterra is laced with macerated cherry, blood orange, cinnamon, cedar, sweet spice and tobacco. The 2018 is done in a pretty forward style for the appellation, with plenty of upfront fruit and a bit of oak, but retains the stylistic classicism that is so characteristic here. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this jewel of a wine.
Firm but fluffy tannins, with warm stones and round fruit flavors that carry onto the chalky, medium-long finish. Not high in acidity, but there is a lovely perception of freshness.
