2009 La Spinetta (Rivetti) Monferrato Pin
2/11/2014 - TheStork Likes this wine: 93 Points
Light garnet color.
Scent of dark cherries, tobacco and violets. Parfumed.
Full, very nice tannins. Taste of dark berries, almond and tobacco. Long and very clear aftertaste of violets with a grassy note - like fine olive oil.
A very pleaseant wine that is good for drinking now but will certainly last a couple of years.

2007 Renato Ratti Barolo Conca
2/14/2013 - TheStork Likes this wine: 93 Points
Dark red.
Slightly closed, scent of cherries, almond and violets.
Very tannic, full taste of cherries, almonds and a bit of tar. Flowery like from freshly cut grass or fine olive oil.
Long finish.
Enjoyable but should have kept this one a couple of years I think.

2009 Château Doisy-Védrines
1/31/2013 - TheStork Likes this wine: 93 Points
Light yellow - very clear.
Freshly scented and parfumed with raisins, botrytis and saffron.
Packed with fruit like mature mangoes, pineapple, raisins and apricots. Full.
Long finish that ends in a slight bitterness like from a touch of bitter almonds. After just a short while in the glass the finish developed into finest marsipan and the first hints of oak in the form of coconut.
Very well balanced and probably long lived. 92 - 94P.
