2010 Adriano Marco e Vittorio Barbaresco BasarinNebbiolo more |
1/3/2016 - Sheila62 Likes this wine: NRI really like this. Tbis is a young traditionly made barbaresco. The tannins as expected are a bit sharp, but soften a bit in the glass. A bit austere upon opening but the flesh reveals itself with spices, herbs, and a bit of earth. I cant wait to try these with a bit of time in a cool cellar. |

NV Agrapart Champagne Les 7 Crus BrutChampagne Blend more |
5/12/2013 - Sheila62 Likes this wine: NRThis was bottled in May 2010 degorged in may 2012. This is 50/50 2008/2009 vintage. A little reduction on the nose but probably the best 7 series I have tasted. The focus of those 2008 grapes with the plushness of the 2009 vintage is a great marriage. Great focus with wonderful minerality and lushness. Just a great non vintage! |

2002 Domaine Arlaud Chambolle-Musigny Cuvée Unique Vieilles VignesPinot Noir more |
5/3/2013 - Sheila62 Does not like this wine: NRtoo bad this good fruit is smothered underneath an oak blanket. This is a Cuvee Unique bottling, and without all of the oak, this would have been a good village Chambolle. Too bad, and disappointing |

11/13/2013 - Sheila62 wrote: NRThis a modern Barolo from the De Grazia portfolio. I just wish the oak was dialed down. This is still tight IMO and need at least 3-5 more years to gain more complexity. |
