4/18/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: NRNR - this was a puzzling bottle. Not giving much on the nose or palate, but it didn’t seem tired and done. Didn’t feel corked or otherwise compromised lVery dense and with a green, bitter note on the finish that wasn’t nice. |

4/18/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: flawedSuper! Apricots, canned peaches, straw in the barn, and a hint of petrol. Peaches, dried apricots and candied lemon tastes. Super balance, with good supporting acid and clean pure finish that goes a long time. Can age another ten, at least. |

4/5/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: 93 pointsFrom memory- drank at Asti w/Pat and Jennifer. Medium to lighter body. Good balance of acid to structure. Nose is roses, used book store and licorice. Taste, licorice , red cherry and dirt. Medium finish. Drinking well now but has room for further development. |

2016 Domaine Auguste Clape Côtes du RhôneSyrah more |
3/27/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: 90 pointsPnP... This started out very tough and a bit out of balance with hard tannin and deep overpowering dark red/blue fruits. After a couple of hours in the glass it did start to even out. Day two (under glass) the balance was much better. Wait another 2-3 on other bottles. |

2007 Henri Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve des CélestinsRed Rhone Blend more |
3/27/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: 98 pointsDrank at unicorn night at Susan's. Many thought this was WOTN - up against 07 DRC, 96 Krug, etc. Double decanted. Poured in glass the perfume filled the room. Nose of flowers, licorice, blueberry, and dark cherry. Tasted like biting into a chocolate covered cherry - with the most amazing chocolate on that cherry. None of this Hershey stuff! Superb balance; not bloated or flabby. I thought this might be too young but it was sensational. I'm thinking other bottles being able to age much longer. |

2010 Vietti Barolo CastiglioneNebbiolo more |
3/18/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: 90 pointsPnP at Asti with Matt. Tight and not giving very much until last sips. Very prominent licorice on the nose. Some cherry and rose. Decent balance but on the acidic side. Wait another 5 for remaining bottles. |

2010 Forey Père et Fils Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Petits MontsPinot Noir more |
3/15/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: 90 pointsPnP with burgundy group. Confection and cotton candy when first opened. Out of balance with not much pure fruit. Opened up after an hour or so in glass. More typical burgundy notes, better balance. Red fruit some mineral. Too young. Not sure how good this will get though… Solid but not exceptional. |

3/15/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: 93 pointsFantastic! Drank with burgundy group. Soft but dense mouthfeel. Perfect balance. Grapefruit, honey and field clover on the nose. Much the same on the palate but with a creamy chalkiness that was wonderful. Wish I had a case. |

3/15/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: 94 pointsHad this bottle in our cellar for a number of years (2011?)…. Fine, softer mousse. Golden yellow. Oxidative and vinous. Notes of marzipan, vanilla clover, and honey. Long layered finish. Excellent! 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2010 Il Poggione (Proprietá Franceschi) Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
3/12/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: 91 pointsPnP.... Tight on opening, but still enjoyable. Nose not giving off a lot until about 1 hour mark. Then opened to classic Brunello notes. Drank over about 4 hours. Dark and red cherries, coffee, spice, cedar and fine cocoa powder. Excellent balance. I see some comments that this might be over the hill, but I'm of the opposite mind that it's still a bit early to drink. I'm at the 3-5 year mark before opening others - if I can wait that long! |

3/3/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: 91 pointsPnP, tight and a little tough when first opened. Nice fruit and structure but also a bit thin in the mid-palate. After a couple of hours it really started to fill out. Day two was lovely. Almost there. |

2007 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Brunate Le CosteNebbiolo more |
2/12/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: 91 pointsTons of sediment. Nose was classic roses mixed with an old bookstore and stewed fruit. Taste was a bit more classic rinaldi but still with a cooked fruit/pruniness that I couldn’t get past. I’d guess this bottle got hot at some point. Too sad 😞 |

1/15/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: 95 pointsFrom memory. Grilled meat, red and dark red fruits, rosemary. Just a brilliantly balanced bottle. Super powerful but also finesse. I agree with others that this still could use some age. Wait another 3-5 for next bottle. |

1/15/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: 98 pointsDrank with wine group at Asti. Stunning and WOTN against some major players. Decanted for a couple hours ahead of time. Perfumes of roses, bright red cherries and licorice just seemed to pour from the glass. Much the same driving. Amazing and classic. Perfect balance. Can still hold other bottles. |

1/10/2024 - ovenmitt wrote: 91 pointsVery nice. Big nose of citrus, green apples and tropics. Much the same for tasting. Big and powerful, full of acid and fruit. It will be nice to see how this evolves. Drinking now (young) and over the next 5-10 years, I think. |
