3/14/2020 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRDelicious paired with spaghetti with bottarga. Perfectly balanced right now. |

1971 Filippo Sobrero & Figli BaroloNebbiolo more |
1/10/2020 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRYet another divine bottle of Filippo Sobrero, as good as an incredible bottle of the 64 some years back. Delicate, spicy, fresh. |
| Red |
1990 Cappellano Barolo Piè Rupestris Otin Fiorin (Gabutti)Nebbiolo more |
1/3/2020 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRAn extraordinarily vigorous and youthful wine for its age. Explosive. Double-decanted for 3 hours. This 1990 far outshone a recent bottle of the 1989. |
| White - Sparkling |
2009 Marie-Noëlle Ledru Champagne Grand Cru Brut MillésiméChampagne Blend more |
11/22/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRAnother very good bottle of this wine. By contrast, Ledru's 2009 Cuvée du Goulté is less ready to drink at the moment. |

2016 Hofgut Falkenstein Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Kabinett Alte RebenMosel Saar Ruwer more |
11/1/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NR2 recent bottles were less expressive than on release. Maybe the wine is entering a closed period. It is still lovely. |

11/1/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRDrinking very well at the moment. |

2016 Bartolo Mascarello Dolcetto d'Albamore |
10/29/2019 - Ben H. wrote: NRThe B. Mascarello Dolcetto usually ages well but I preferred the 2016 better on release based on multiple recent bottles. |
| White - Sparkling |
2008 Georges Laval Champagne Premier Cru Brut Nature Les ChênesChardonnay more |
10/29/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRPowerful, long finish, marvellous texture. Still relatively youthful. |
| Red |
1964 Cappellano BaroloNebbiolo more |
10/28/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRA bottle that was full of vigour, with the typical laciness of older Cappellano Barolo. Even better on day 2 despite having been double-decanted for 7 hours the first night. |
| Red |
2007 Clos Rougeard (Foucault) Saumur-Champigny Le BourgCabernet Franc more |
10/24/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NROne of those bottles of wine that seems to have an extra level. Alive and shifting, eluding description, it would have been hard to pinpoint if drunk blind. (Decanted for 2 hours after seeming oaky upon opening.) |
| White - Sparkling |
2006 Marie-Noëlle Ledru Champagne Grand Cru Cuvée du Goulté Blanc de Noirs BrutPinot Noir more |
10/14/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NREverything in harmony. Younger than Ledru's 2006 Brut Nature, but very much ready to drink also. |
| Red |
1971 Giovannini Moresco Barbaresco PajoréNebbiolo more |
10/11/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRSuch a beautiful wine. Double-decanted for 6 hours. Reminded me of Poulsard with its rose petals. |
| Rosé - Sparkling |

10/10/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRLived up to the hype. Extremely delicious and complex. |

2011 Emmanuel Houillon (Maison Pierre Overnoy) Savagnin Arbois Pupillinmore |
10/7/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NROne of the best bottles of Overnoy-Houillon I’ve drunk. An electric wine. |

| White - Sparkling |
2007 Bérêche et Fils Champagne Premier Cru Le Cran LudesChampagne Blend more |
8/13/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRPowerful almost pungent Champagne with a remarkably long finish. Didn’t pair that well with delicate fish. |
| Red |
2011 Georges Descombes Morgon Vermont Vieilles VignesGamay more |
8/13/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRPrevious bottles last year were ungiving but this svelte wine has now opened up and is drinking beautifully (based on two more recent bottles). |
| Red |
2015 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Bourgogne Les Bons BâtonsPinot Noir more |
8/8/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRNot so long ago the 2015 hadn't shut down and was lovely. Not anymore, judging by this bottle. |
| Red |
1991 R. López de Heredia Rioja Gran Reserva Viña BosconiaTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
8/8/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRDelightful but I made the mistake of decanting, which shortened the window of enjoyment. Won't decant in the future as Lopez de Heredia Gran Reservas of this age don't seem to have any sediment and can be fragile. |

2014 Alice et Olivier De Moor Bourgogne-Aligoté Plantation 1902more |
8/8/2019 - Ben H. Likes this wine: NRDrinking perfectly just now. |
| White |
