2016 Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Bussia
4/20/2024 - mrgarreth Likes this wine: 93 Points
Intense ruby colour. Pronounced nose of cherry, raspberry jam, balsamic, sage, liquorice, dried rose, violet, smoke, black pepper, gunmetal, lipstick. It’s intense and perfectly balance, with a load of acidify, high alcohol and grippy tannins, but nothing is out of place. Still plenty of fruit but with lovely savoury notes. It’s excellent. I’d probably drink it after a meal rather than with it - sit back and luxuriate in it.

2017 Leclerc Briant Champagne Abyss

An utterly intense nose of yellow plum, peach, dried apricot, patisserie cream, croissant, apple, pineapple. On the palate it is a riot of fresh and dried fruits, with only subtle autolytic character. Nothing saline here.

2014 Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier
4/11/2024 - mrgarreth Likes this wine: 90 Points
This bottle showed a lot of development - the joyous floral notes of the Viognier are gone, leaving some black cherry, prune, raspberry jam, leather, tobacco and sage. It has an elegance but this bottle was close to past it.
