2009 Domaine Chante Cigale Châteauneuf-du-Pape
3/22/2015 - Stefano FsT Likes this wine: 91 Points
A very good CDP: its bouquet was broad and intense (tart cherry, black currant, wild berries, violet, cocoa, wet soil, leather, sweet tobacco, rosemary, vanilla, licorice, black pepper, forest floor and a barnyard note) and its mouthfeel was very pleasant, combining fruity and spicy flavors with a smooth, balanced sip, medium acidity, well integrated alcohol and supple tannins. Medium finish. In my view the wine was mature (meaning at or near peak conditions): I would not wait much longer before enjoying it.

1967 Gaja Barbaresco
2/25/2015 - Stefano FsT Likes this wine: 95 Points
Gaja’s 1967 Barbaresco was a spectacular treat to taste after 48 years of aging: a true testament to the longevity and age-worthiness of a wonderful, albeit difficult, grape variety such as Nebbiolo. Even after so many years spent in the bottle, the wine was still an outstanding performer and still retained much of its fruity aromas and flavors and enough acidity to keep it alive and kicking. It was wonderfully evolved, with a complex and elegant aromatic profile (ripe cherry, dried roses, sweet tobacco, cigar box, cocoa, soil, forest floor and mineral hints), great flavors (spirited tart cherry, rhubarb, and hints of blood orange) and sapidity and a long, lingering finish: an amazing experience.

NV Gosset Champagne Brut Grande Réserve
2/21/2015 - Stefano FsT Likes this wine: 90 Points
A quality NV Champagne, with fine, abundant and long-lasting perlage, and an appealing nose of apple, mineral notes, flint, citrus, toast and hazelnut. In the mouth, it delivers fresh acidity and distinct sapidity, in a highly mineral sip with flavors of apple, citrus, mineral notes and toast. Very good.
