2008 Elio Grasso Barolo Ginestra Casa Maté

What a stunning bottle of wine. Gorgeous, lifted aromatics and a wine that just floats across your palate. Fantastic elegance and persistence. Early drinking window, I think there's still room for development and for the tannins to resolve a touch more. Straddling secondary and tertiary right now. If you have a bunch, there's no harm in enjoying one now. Drink over the next 10+ years. 96+, may eventually move a notch or two higher.

2008 Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Riserva Asili

A little disappointing compared to recent bottles of Pora, Ovello, and Montestefano from the same vintage. Nice enough wine, tannins nicely resolved, showing solid tertiary notes, but just missing a little "oomph." I expect more magic from Asili. Again, I think this suffered in comparison to the other Produttori Riservas from 2008 I've drank recently.

Wow ... what a great bottle. Fully tertiary at this point, tannins took about 30 minutes to chill out, but the wine drank beautifully over the next couple hours. I don't see much room for improvement. Drink over the next five years.
