Laura brought the wines, I tasted double blind.
The wines tonight were very tastey, I especially enjoyed the Barbaresco, which was a fun wine, since it threw me off completely. I love tasting double blind!
2008 Ugo Lequio Barbaresco Gallina 88 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco
Decanted, tasted double blind. This was a very pale red, almost salmon pink. The nose was very elegant, with sweet cherry and a hint of smoke. The palate followed with refined tastes and elegant tannins, cherry, cranberry, quite acidic. The finish was pleasantly long with a bit of umami. I was dead sure this was a South American Pinot Noir, I guess the colour threw me off completely. A very nice wine!

2008 Santa Julia Magna 85 Points
Argentina, Mendoza, Valle de Uco
Decanted, tasted double blind. A fairly dark granite red. The nose was fairly full on, thick, cola, blackberries, a hint of bacon. The palate was also very fruity, with blackberries and some tannins, a bit of sweetness. Easy to spot as a South American big fruity wine. But nice in its own way.
