Barbaresco Nebbiolo

2014 Barbaresco Produttori del Barbaresco- what can I say? She’s the queen! Strawberry jelly on toast is the bouquet! The palate has lots of cherry and pomegranate. Then comes the earth tones such as leather and tobacco but not strong the tannins are so mild due to the delicious mild fruit in this wine. The finish is mildly dry. Overall somewhat less acidic than the Barolo. Long live the Queen. — 7 years ago

All that and a bag of chips. Leans toward the more muscular side of Côte-Rôtie, yet is simultaneously remarkably delicate. Complexity for days. If this is just entering maturity, it may live forever. Wish these hadn't gotten so expensive. — 8 years ago

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1988

Very nice but didn't quite live up to the Cheval Blanc pedigree. Incredibly aromatic, and quite fine tannins with a precise finish and good acid. But this lacks fruit in the mid palate and ultimately didn't quite get there for me. Maybe better a few years ago? — 9 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

Échézeaux Pinot Noir 1988

A big and intense nose. Broad, quite ripe blue fruit. A sweetness, and lovely cherry notes. A good midpalate with dark fruit. Lacks a little in terms of complexity and there’s a blockiness/ austerity to the finish that doesn’t quite live up to the nose, but some elements of this are fantastic. — 8 years ago

Finally had a chance to try this famous wine (thank you @Matthew Rorick) and guess what? It's frickin' awesome. Brilliant balance, ripe fruit balancing laser acidity, it completely works. Really stunning. Pretty cool when such a highly sought after wine doesn't just live up to the hype but exceeds it. — 9 years ago

Nice way to end the night. I️ do enjoy older Barolo. More complex with floral notes , fruit ... I sound like wine DB. Great wine from a great producer. Not the best example but we are splitting hairs here. You get the chance. You drink I️t! Long live Voerzio! — 8 years ago

I really liked the complexity of this cab. Good tanins, went great with a grilled pork chop. Decent back palette acidity for a young wine.
