Villero di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo 1988

Shows the age but still lots of good fruit. Resolved dark cherry, wood, orange rind, some band aid. Lovely clarity and balance. Some sweetness and loads of character — 3 years ago

Asili Di Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1997

Soooooo great! Love it from the first sip. Just enough age on this one. Refreshing, singing acidity, a bit racy, but the freshness totally balances it out. Drinking wonderfully now! — 10 years ago

Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2005

Epic vintage that is just starting to open up. Accessible but a lot more complexity should develop with time, based on the secondary characteristics that started to show with air — 6 months ago

Asili Riserva Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1996

Was honestly a bit disappointed this relative to some other wines from him. Ie was excellent out of the bottle but I think it might have gotten over decanted 4 hrs post opening. Surprisingly I liked the 1996 Barolo from him better — 6 months ago

Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d'Alba 2021

Deep Ruby color with aromas of rich berry fruits and floral spice, aged for 14 months in French oak. On the palate flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry flavors, with leather, cacao, spice, herbs and tobacco notes. Lively acidity, fine chewy tannins, medium+ finish ending with spicy mineral and earthy oak. Nice! — 8 months ago

Domaine Bruno Clair

Les Champs Perdrix Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

Not a 1er Cru, but it should be! Lovely Vosne. Velvet, sappy cherry fruit with Vosne spice. Hints of vanilla and stones. A whiff of oak char on the nose, but less so on the palate. Decanted for 2 hours prior to consumption. — 4 years ago

Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2014

Wanted to drink this after listening to Dominique’s IDTT interview. Found the best nationally priced bottle in Pasadena and it showed really nicely, particularly after being open for something like 4 hours. I like his winemaking approach here, which doesn’t seem to be about elevating it beyond its provenance. It’s a delicious, mineral wine that would crush with shellfish and was lovely in the afternoon along with The Trip to Spain. — 7 years ago

Château Lafon-Rochet

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2022

2022 vintage. First vintage under Lorenzetti ownership. Oak dominating initially, needs a few hours to open up. Concentrated black fruit with serious oak influence. Lots of potential, but doesn't have the charm of the 2020 today. Ab. 14,,5% — 6 months ago
