2000 Fratelli Brovia Barolo Villero
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Garnet colored in the glass with a little bit of sediment. Interesting nose of florals, tar, olives and mint. Red fruit and baking spice on the palate. High tannin and acid. I left some in the glass and came back to it and it seemed to start opening up more. I prefer my nebbiolo at the point where it shows both primary and secondary characteristics, so I think this is probably drinking as well as it ever will right now.

1998 R. López de Heredia Rioja Rosado Gran Reserva Viña Tondonia
Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja
Copper-colored in the glass. Coconut, florals, and dried apricot on the nose. Smells like Heredia. Citrus fruit on the palate with tons of minerality. Medium-high to high acid. Finish seemed kind of short. As a side note, I've had three vintages of this wine so far and I've enjoy 1995 the most.

2003 Bert Simon Serriger Herrenberg Riesling Auslese
Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
Nose of ripe apple, honey, and a touch of petrol. Ripe fruit on the palate with candied orange peel and honey. Medium long finish. Medium acid. A little bit unbalanced. The acid was surprisingly lower than I would have expected.

2005 Massolino Barolo
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Red fruit on the nose and palate. Medium high tannin and acid. Short finish. 2005 is really young for a barolo, but still this one doesn't seem to have a whole lot going for it.

Gorgeous nose of butterscotch, pear, walnut and vanilla. Viscous on the palate with medium high acidity. Very sweet but without being overbearing at all. Long finish. I could very easily drink a lot of this.
