Introduction

Chanoch prepared this evening well: 3 bottles were opened 1-2 hours ahead, very cheese (6 type), local version of Viande de Grison (good) and local peppered salami (good), bloc de foie gras and more...

Flight 1 (3 Notes)

  • 2006 Prunotto Barbaresco 89 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco

    classic Barbaresco character
    requires at least 2-3 hours of decanting before reaching its optimal at this young age
    transparent medium brown-purple
    earthy-floral aroma, light fruits with spice hint
    medium bodied, grip tannins of a very young wine, very tight, high acidity, mellows with time, good harmony, medium complexity. Overall a good wine requires further ageing.

  • 2006 Gaja Barolo Dagromis 91 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    dark red-purple colour
    classic Barolo earthy-fruity aroma with spicy-floral hints
    medium-full bodied, grip tannins, too tight, very young wine, good acidity and harmony,
    sweet cherries, mellows in the glass, but too tannic at the moment.
    requires further ageing of 2-4 years at least, then will be much better.

  • 2009 Seguin-Manuel Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains 86 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

    light transparent red-amber
    notes of typical mid-level Cote de Nuits Pinot Noir, floral and fruity, become nicer after some time in the glass
    light-medium bodied, good acidity, medium harmony, thin structured, bsic mid-level Nuits St. George.
    Enjoyed more the aroma in the glass than the wine itself.

Closing

Hugo arrived first, I joined few min later, Dudu showed after another 30 min, while Arnoldo forgot about the event and was hauled after an hour.
We enjoyed tasting the various wines, with good bread, cheese and cold cuts!
90 min later Hugo left…. and we stayed another hour and enjoyed still...
