2013 Mathilde et Yves Gangloff Côte-Rôtie La Serene Noire
5/6/2024 - mattyboy_ Likes this wine: 95 Points
100% old vine syrah from Cote Brune and Cote Blonde. Starts out really wild - game, blood, olive, smoke, violets. With air, it gets really pretty with smoky black fruit - black cherry and plums. Very well integrated at this stage - wonderful mineral structure, perfectly balanced. Quite powerful but very restrained. Very serious wine.

2016 Giovanni Canonica Barolo Paiagallo
5/5/2024 - mattyboy_ Likes this wine: 94 Points
Fantastic young Barolo. Really fun to drink now. Beautiful nose of cherries and strawberry with a very mild touch of VA. Wonderful texture with near silky tannins. Exceptional balance given the 15.5% alc - as others have mentioned, you really can't tell as it's so well integrated.
At 15.5% I'm inclined to drink these on the younger side.

2018 Domaine Didier Fornerol Côte de Nuits Villages

Liked this a lot. Red berries, floral, hint of iron & spice. Quite thrilling and complex for the level.
