  • Surprisingly still had life. Mushrooms, cedar, earth with just a hint of fruit.

  • Kel's Birthday - Wine and Poker Night (Kat and Yuwen's): Yummy – this was an enjoyable wine without quite being compelling. The nose was pure Barolo, but of a more modern ilk, with red fruit and roses, menthol, bramble and spice and a tiny kiss of tar, all wrapped in a waft of creamy sweetness and dosed with a little hint of glycerol. It was a nice, youthful nose. Quite pretty in a sweet, red-fruited way. The palate was still youthful as well. There were some secondary flavours of herb and bramble, but these were coiled around a core of rather primary dark cherry fruit. Nice depth here, with a creamy sappiness to the fruit that made it very attractive. There was real texture beneath that though, with chewy tannins giving the wine a real sense of structure as it moved into a slightly drying finish, where a fine later of cocoa powder and more of those fine tannins coated the teeth. Not perfect then, but very enjoyable. It is clearly not at peak either. Give it 5-10 years more and it should be even better.
