Henry's house in Baltimore
Tasted Saturday, April 21, 2012 by dcwino with 668 views
Henry generously hosted us at his lovely house. We tasted eight baroli from the 90 vintage. The consensus on the top three wines was very strong (1) 1990 Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Riserva Granbussia, Giuseppe E Figlio Mascarello Barolo Monprivato and Paolo Scavino Barolo Riserva Rocche dell'Annunziata.
I don’t have enough knowledge in Barolo to discuss modernist vs traditionalist but the top three wines were very fresh and vibrant. It was a fun and educational evening.
2009 Schäfer-Fröhlich Bockenauer Felseneck Riesling Großes Gewächs 94 Points
Germany, Nahe
Incredibly mineral expression, sweetness without being sweet and spicy as in jalapeno. This wine is nicely focused and has the perfect precision.

2008 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis 1er Cru La Forest 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru
Mineral driven nose, wetstone and seashell, lanoline, honey and spicy spice. Nice precision, medium concentration and bright acidity. It is not as concentrated and precise as the 08 Les Clos but a beautiful PC Dauvissat. I also drank the 10 recently which I prefer slightly.
