    Golden straw yellow. Smells dusty graveltrails, lime and minerals. Hints of tropical fruit, rubber and burned matches. The palate is acidic with some tropical fruits and apple peel. Feels a bit thin and watery. Unpleasant finish.

    To begin with, the nose has vegetables and flatulence. This blows off and leaves a clean impression of the smell. Medium viscosity. Ebb, minerals and burnt matches. Unusual flavors like leather and licorice are also present. Grapefruit in the end. Crisp.

    Dark fruit, spice and candy. Modern expression with few and well-integrated tannins. Acidic. Opposite to the opening the wine finishes with sour berries like red currants.

  • 2000 Château Nenin 89 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    (10/28/2017)

    Dark dense red. Nose has agriculture, dense fruit with hints of iron and metal. Tannins dries the palate a tad. As in opposition to the nose the palate has thin fruit. Medium length. Hints of coffeegrounds in the finish. Drinking well now.

    USA, California, Napa Valley

    (10/28/2017)

    Dark red. Spices and blueberry with hints of iron and metal. Soft and delicious feeling in the mouth. Blue berries and calm behavior. Significant and definite structure. Nice length. Decanted in a wide decanter for 3-4 hours. Could have doubled this and some of the obscuring tannins would have lifted and given way to even more fruit.

    Floral nose with hints of fat and meat/pork produce. Powerful palate with spices, heat and alcohol. Very long with hints of liquorice towards the end. Delicious wine, that drinks very well at the moment.

  • 2009 Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Cicala 89 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    (10/28/2017)

    Dark red with a blue hue. Nose with spices, spelled and hung meat. The palate has cherries and hints of liquorice before violent tannins enters the oral cavity and dries it up completely. Packs a lot of heat and alcohol. Not being a big fan of violent tannins this ruins the impression of the wine. Lay down for several years.

  • 2005 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 92 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage

    (10/28/2017)

    Dark red - without signs of age. Spices and fresh cherries. Greatly balanced and with an admirable structure. A juicy and fresh wine. Blind I did not recon this as a Hermitage, rather Piemote!
