2006 Il Poggione (Proprietá Franceschi) Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli

Dead. This seems like heat damage. I bought it on some kind of closeout deal, so it was probably in a distributor warehouse for way too long. I have 2 more, so fingers crossed.

2010 Nigl Riesling Privat
12/30/2018 - missatiejacket Likes this wine:
I've given up trying Privat Riesling on release because it's always so tightly wound. This was one of the vintages that convinced me to approach it that way, so I remember how unyielding it was, how tied up and tough to read it seemed. Now it's a totally different story. There's still the focused mineral core, but so much has fleshed out beyond that, with beautiful floral notes, a wide range of fruit, and overall something that, while still firm and mineral-based, is a really complex and beautiful wine in a style that's relatively reserved for this level of quality in Austria. I'd say it is just entering a really good phase, and I'm glad to have a few left to check in on over the next 5-10 years.

2009 Didier Dagueneau Sancerre Le Mont Damné

What initially seems reminiscent of Silex for its concentrated tropical fruits and grassy aromas turns out to be flawed by excessive nail polish/VA and apple cider vinegar aromas. This is very troubling as it is the third bottle of '09 Dagueneau that I've found to have this problem. Down the drain.
