Roccalini Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2013

Popped and poured. This is a hedonistic Barbaresco that's not shy about the fact it's brought more than a decent amount of fruit to the party. Quite a bit different than the Ferrando Carema we also opened tonight. That being said, it's very satisfying with plenty of character to back up the fruit. This is one of those wines that nerds and casual wine drinkers can both get into. Drink now though 2028. — 7 years ago

Black Label Carema Nebbiolo 2013

My first exposure to a Carema wine. Very old-school, airy Nebbiolo. Super dry, herbal, tea, leather, orange peel, and crushed rock. This is probably a polarizing wine, depending your old world receptiveness. — 7 years ago

Naïck Blanc Vin de Table Grenache Gris 2005

Jaune clair
Nez terpénique et cire pétrole tu comme un riesling
Bouche ample et grasse avec une grande maturité mais l âge equilibre le vin.
Finale dense avec des notes de citron confit et d alcool mais avec une certaine profondeur
Beau vin qui a gagné avec le temps on imaginerait bien ce style de vin sur un chateauneuf

Isabel Mondavi

Deep Rosé Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Slightly muted but very fruity nose full of red raspberry, cherry, plum and blackberry. The deep color deceives the delightfully juicy, fresh and fruity palate. Juicy flavors of black raspberry, red raspberry and black cherry leads to big, fresh acidity with a touch of earthiness and tannin. The finish is long, fruity and a little earthy. — 8 years ago

2011, more guts than I remember on previous vintages. Much oxi-love on the nose, various explosives in the mouth. Kinda punk rock. — 9 years ago

Domaine L'Oustal Blanc (Isabel et Claude Fonquerle)

Minervois-La Livinière 2004

There aren't many wines that make me say "wow!" On the first taste. Black fruit and warm baking spices on the nose with honey/toffee notes. Palate is velvety pleasure with plum, leather, and sweet cappuccino coffee. This is a rich and beautiful wine at a perfect point in its development. — 10 years ago

9.3

Surprising burst of aromatics. Surprising as it was much more retrained last month. I love how wines evolve. The mouth is more pronounced and a slight bit of white pepper picante with boisterous cherry. Lively bit of oak but not too much. Drink up or age. — 10 years ago
