In a great and interesting spot. Would not have called this Barolo in a blind tasting as it had a mix of Burgundian fruit and Bordeaux earth features. Well above expectation

1989 Massolino Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda Nebbiolo

The '89 Rionda is a fantastic wine and still showed youthful today, with vibrant color and plenty of energy. On the nose, I found dark red to black cherry fruit, earth / black truffle, menthol, and balsamic spices. On the palate, the wine was richly textured with above average acidity, with some fine grained tannin remaining at the back end. The wine showed a beautiful inner sweetness, with black cherry fruit, earth, and balsamic spices, ending with sweet, hard-candy like dark fruit, balsamic, and roast meat flavors on the long finish.

Always great to revisit this fantastic champagne, one of my top favourites 100% Pinot Meunier champagne as well as champagne!
It is good to drink now but I would suggest to keep a few more years. Emmanuel mentioned that he has forgotten to keep himself some to drink. If you are lucky enough to own a few (not emptied bottles, of course 😅), do bring one for him when you are visiting him!

2010 Joseph Drouhin Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches Rouge Pinot Noir

5/5/2018 - Daniel & Amber Likes this wine:

Still so young - giving nothing for at least an hour. After the first hour started to show the amazing potential it has. I’d leave another 3-5 if you are after a good spot in the primary stage of this one

Daniel & Amber commented:

5/6/18, 5:40 AM - For the first hour or so it was hard as nails. Like a brick of hard earth with a hint of the fruit and smoke it had underneath. After an hour and a half it started to open and was very floral - think purple flowers over rich red fruit. A touch of sweetness, almost a honeyed character to the fruit - but that may have just been the honeybees on the label :)
