No in depth notes. Mature nose with mostly secondary notes and not that much fruit. The palate has a solid structure with good acidity and firm, but mature, tannins. Lots of sediment in this bottle. Decent showing but my prediction is it isn’t going to get much better than this.

2011 Elio Sandri Barolo Riserva Perno

Nebbiolo more

No notes, just a few thoughts from memory. 2 hours in the decanter. Fabulous nose, traditional and rustic. Dark fruit, rosehip, tar, leather, dried roses. Lots of complexity, and finesse too.
The palate is in perfect balance, in a very good spot right now. Some menthol. Structure for further cellaring but I’m not disappointed at all at opening this today.
Perhaps bulls eye lies somewhere 5-10 years on but the advantage of cellaring isn’t huge imo. Brilliant Barolo.

2015 Fratelli Brovia Barolo Rocche di Castiglione

Nebbiolo more

1/5/2024 - JohanPe wrote: 92 points

Restaurant. Super elegant style, open and approachable right from decant. Aromatic with traditional notes such as light bodied cherries, rosehip, dried roses and new leather.
Tannins are somewhat polished, juicy and in an early maturity phase. Acidity is balanced. A harmonious wine that is still young and will develop more depth and complexity with 10+ years. With that said it doesn’t need that time to be approached and enjoyed.

2014 Jean-François Ganevat Côtes du Jura Cuvée Florine

Chardonnay more

12/16/2023 - JohanPe wrote: 93 points

Very good showing with some (very) early notes of maturity and more balanced acidity than last bottle. Complex with citrus fruit and white flowers. Dusty appearance and long aftertaste. Nowadays you have to be thankful for getting the opportunity to try this stuff.

Chardonnay more

Consisent with previous note, haven’t moved much or anything at all. Feels like the 2013 is slower than its neighbour vintages. Super solid and drinks very well. Guessing 5-10 more years for significant development.

So much better day 2. Balanced beyond imagination. High quality fruit, cool and ripe. Strawberries and raspberries. The stems that was prominent the first night is well integrated day 2. Complex and very long aftertaste. Impressive with a bright future.

2010 Francesco Rinaldi e Figli Barolo Cannubi

Nebbiolo more

11/18/2023 - JohanPe wrote: 92 points

Very much in line with previous note. The first night somewhat out of balance and falls short on the palate, from the middle and forwards. Still needs time. Day two a much better experience. More harmonious and with fruit to back the structure. A lot of secondary notes and early maturity. Liquorice and salvia prominent. Medium acidity, fine tannins that’s starting to soften. Strike me as delicate when it comes to cellaring, could very well benefit from 5-10 more years.

Dark cherries, rosehip, strawberries, dried roses and tar. The fruit feels sweet and elegant. Somewhat closed at the moment though.
Solid structure with good acidity and fine tannins. The 15% is a bit too pronounced at the moment imo. The balance is mostly there, got potential but needs time.

2012 Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Bussia

Nebbiolo more

9/30/2023 - JohanPe wrote: 92 points

Very much true to the winemakers style. Elegant.
Rose petals, rosehip, bright pure fruit, some pepper and silky tannins. Very much approachable and will likely develop in a positive way the coming decade.

Pretty much in line with previous note. Some additional development with a slightly more waxy profile. Honey, white flowers and lemon. Entering its drinking window now. Versatile and a bit of a swiss army knife in terms of food pairing. Very good qpr.

Driven by silkyness and terrior. After one hour of air this bottle sings and offers dark fruit, earth, herbs, meat and smoke. On the right path and will only get better the coming decade.

Not showing as good as previous bottles. A bit off balance wise with some what harsch structure compared to the fruit. Secondary notes such as dried roses, balsamico and leather. Might not be representative at all and only a slightly less good bottle.

No in depth notes. From memory. This bottle had more body and mature fruit. Juicy tannins of high quality.
Felt somewhat heavier and dryer on the palate. Drinks ok now but probably not for the long term.

Seriously unfiltered look. Some funk but mostly fresh vibrant fruit and crushed rocks. Lingonberries.
Not overly complex but considering variety and place its definitely interesting. Must question the qpr through. Oh, and drink fast...
