Some question among the group of whether this was corked or not. To me it was drinking fine but not the best version of itself and next to a Bandol that was on fire it got a bit overshadowed.

Also tasted the 1989 and 1982 Ausone at Ausone those same years.

I´m a big Champagnelover that are on the hunt for a Piper Heidsieck Rare 1990 that i saw you´ve had before, so i´m just reaching out to hopefully find one bottle for a vertical (only bottle we´re missing). ANd You´re of course welcome to join if that´s in your interest.
Best Regards

A few that would be fun to attend the next trip: Tusk, Keplinger, Memento Mori, Maxem, Vice Versa, Ovid, Promontory, Dana Estates, La Pelle are a handful you might not have done yet. Cheers
11/25/2019 11:09:00 AM - Hello! Just read your recent tasting story from Le Langhe. Thanks for the useful notes.
The shop in Barolo you mentioned ("The Other Barolo wine shop") is called "Vini delle Langhe" and it's run by Piero Antonio Daviso. A nice guy to have a chat with for sure.
8/3/2019 10:18:00 AM - Hello there! I’m opening a 67 Bertani this evening and was hoping you could recommend whether to decant and for how long. Thanks!
3/2/2019 7:59:00 PM - Let me add my voice to the chorus of "thank you's" for your in-depth tour of one of my favorite wine regions in the world. Mille grazie!
2/20/2019 11:09:00 AM - Hello, I came across your notes for "La Tablee: Legends Dinner w E. Guigal & after party". I am a personal friend of the retired Guigal importer whose cellar these wines came from. He intended to be at the dinner, but couldn't make it due to a health issue. However, I made a PDF copy of your excellent tasting notes and forwarded to him. He really enjoyed reading them. I personally have enjoyed all of the older Guigal wines with him over the years, but interestingly have not tasted any of the younger wines (both La Doraine & the 05 Ex-Voto) , all of which I have in my cellar, so your notes were helpful to me personally. I also have the 2011 Clos Rougeard Les Poyeux in my cellar and haven't tasted it since I purchased it 2+ years ago, so those notes were helpful to me as well.. All I can say is "Well done" and thank you.

Next time include La Ciau del Tornavento in your dinner/lunches ( we always do lunch for the last 10yrs or so) , For us the best there is in the area and the wine cellar is among the best in the world . AAA place and to us a must.
1/20/2018 8:17:00 AM - I seem to be following your posting today from the WINEBID event the other night. You have some well described impressions. Let me know if you re-attend in the years ahead.
8/14/2017 7:57:00 PM - Just saw you have some 76 Grange. I've had several with the last one a couple of years ago. They are ready. You are in for a treat.

Drinks well. Poured super clear. Right in the right spot. Again more dried fruits. A background of baking spices.

Just opened right before serving so still opening up. More dried fruits. Red fruits. A bit of spice. Needs more time in the glass. Lovely.
