2009 Henri Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve des Célestins

Pure deep red and glossy.
Ripe plums and berries with a lovely crushed herb and spice bouquet.
Silky smooth texture, glides across the palate. Seems weightless, plenty of extremely fine tannins, very fine acidity, a long super smooth finish. Fleshy but not heavy, delicious ripe plum and cassis with a fine seam of dark tar spice. Drinking beautifully, aged ahead of it.

2004 Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo

Good cork.
Rich colour, a disturbing shade of brown, but understandable for an old Barolo.
Perfect nose, beautiful sweet fruit and floral fragrance. Hints of leather, sweet ripe cherries and plums with a light tar spice. Seamless.
Refined and stylish, polished tannins and fine acidity. Fruit and tar spice dominate, classic tar and roses, with a bright cherry edge. The age shows only at the edges with earth and leather, but apart from the softness if might seem younger than 20 years. Delicious, will age, but ideal now.

Pale red, brick edge.
Dark cherry, bright cherry stone spice, beautiful fragrance,
Ripe dark cherry, plums, boysenberry, with powerful spice, cherry stone zest , violets and whole bunch, rich and complex. Youthful structure, finishing with very fine but strong tannins. In a great place but will age further well.
