Cantina Bartolo Mascarello

Barolo Nebbiolo 2000

2000 vintage. From Jay. 2000 Bartolo Mascarello - Brief Note from Galloni Historical Retrospective Held in London April 26, 2016. Black fruits, Black cherry with some menthol. Good sweetness on the entry. Good acidity. Weak on the rear pallet. Finish is somewhat weak. Nice ruby colour. More in the style of what Maria Teresa's father than her. Fruit is much more muted. It has integrated well over the years from the initial barnyard aromatics that it displayed when initially bottled. Drink no to 2020. 89/100 — 10 years ago

Yes there do seem to be bubbles in it. I got fresh citrus, quince (easily confused with soap) and hints of brioche on the finish.

It is of course the perfect terroir for cooler climate wines... Hence the lemongrass notes

Kenwood Vineyards

Jack London Vineyard Sonoma Valley Zinfandel 1995

1995 vintage Zinfandel. Firm upper cork gave way a bit on the inside lower half inch but removed it all with a little care. That cork was Tight for twenty years. Must have been bold when young. It was pale light red, almost heavily faded but smelled sweet. Not as sweet to the taste but a mellow and a hint of cranberry after airing out. Dry. — 10 years ago

Fuller's

ESB Champion Ale

ESB. Arômes floraux et de noisette. En bouche, un malt noisette et accompagne d'une légère amertume et d'un houblon floral. Les tout balance à merveille. Tout est dans la finesse dans cette bière. Une ESB incontournable. — 10 years ago

After drinking another, I'm thinking I should raise my initial rating. Absolutely delicious!
