2013 Massolino Barolo
4/18/2024 - ShakinSwedens wrote:
Day 1, muted nose that opened after 30 minutes giving a little floral terracotta, ruby red colour with no significant signs of age. Fairly classic Barolo palate, a little shrill and high pitched but decent with food, mainly red fruit, really lovely fine and firm tannic structure. 90 points but no more.
Day 2 this now has loads of complexity in the nose! Heady and inviting. The palate has first spice (a touch of clove and cardamom?) and then depth where the fruit has turned darker- forest fruits and tar, rounder even smoother tannins with less prominence but still present. Probably 93 or 94 on this showing.
Hold or ensure it’s opened very early and given the chance to breathe slowly.

2018 E. Pira & Figli (Chiara Boschis) Langhe Nebbiolo

Superb! Enjoyed over two nights.
First night very similar to prior tasting note- raspberries the top note of an energetic linear and gently tannic (for Nebbiolo) easy drinker. Second night more depth, coolness and softer tannins.
Final pour was chock-full of sediment. Nice evolution and a really superior bright LN. Wish I had another case!

2017 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges

Opened 2 hours before serving but needed another 90 minutes in the glass before it started showing. Great freshness, coolness on the palate, berry fruit, extremely fine tannins providing structure. Very enjoyable and has years of development ahead for those minded to hold.
