2001 Müller-Catoir Haardter Bürgergarten Riesling Spätlese #2134Pfalz more |
1/8/2024 - salil wrote: 89 pointsNot a great showing - I've had some monumental bottles of this before, but this wasn't one of them. This one seems a little more mature and advanced than others I've had in the past. It's got a core of rich citrus and stone fruit that builds with air, plenty of honeyed and smoky developed notes around it, and while it's an excellent bottle of Riesling, it definitely seems to be missing a couple of gears compared to various other bottles I've had (especially on the finish, which feels a little thin and clipped). |

2001 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Riserva Le Rocche del Falletto di Serralunga d'AlbaNebbiolo more |
10/27/2013 - kenv Likes this wine: 100 pointsRare Wine Co's Giacosa Riserva Dinner (Del Posto Restaurant, NYC): Showing some secondary aromas in the nose. Explodes in the mouth. Amazing wine! Still young and tannic but so obviously great now and for the next 30 years. May be the the greatest Le Rocche del Falletto made. This is what Giacosa is all about: power and grace. Mind blown.

1989 Paolo Scavino Barolo Bric dël FiascNebbiolo more |
8/22/2013 - kenv Likes this wine: 94 pointsWCC Barolo & Barbaresco Blind (Yono's Restaurant, Albany, NY): [Double decanted around 5pm.] Classic Barolo. Big and complex with earth, mulch mushrooms. Stunning, with a long complex finish. Really a terrific bottle of Barolo with no sign of new oak remaining. Should continue to drink well for at least another decade.

2004 Giuseppe E Figlio Mascarello Barolo MonprivatoNebbiolo more |
10/16/2010 - Papies wrote: 94 pointsTasting at the Cantina Mascarello in Piedmont with la Mam Mascarello. The Mama introduced this as a wine of purity, very little oak, no toasting, pure terroir. Not bad given she speaks no English and we speak no Italian. Indeed it is. Traditional to the core, and although young (wine was opened 1 hour prior our visit) it still shows wwhat is great about Barolo. Big and long with presence yet very elegant and with fine nose. This is one to look for for the future. Simply great.
