  Tasting of '98. '01 and '02 WS Rochioli. These wines all big and ripe compared to a flight of Maume Mazi Chambertin. And stylistically quite different than the Oregon flight. They seem younger than their age. Some funk in the nose. Sweet cherries. Some cola. Lush and nice finish.

  A touch of animale funk to the nose along with pine needles. menthol and sweet berry fruits. The palate is sweet, lush and textural, with good volume and freshness and relaxed structural elements. Drinking very nicely.

  Drank the same night as the 98 Coastlands. The Rochioli was lacking the acid to continue aging compared to the Coastlands. Still nice, but definitely has seen better years. Drink up.

  Dark but slightly faded red color consistent with age. Dried fruit and a bit of cola on the nose. Flavors have been kind of roaming for the past hour, but seem to have settled down with a good amount of fruit, and surprising amounts of acidity and tannin. Not nearly as elegant as the 2000 Mendocino, but still an enjoyable, interesting wine. There's life still left in this one.
