2019 Vie di Romans Pinot Grigio Dessimis
9/1/2022 - ElGreco Likes this wine: 92 Points
Nose: Tea, citrus, and almond/hazelnut
Palate: Complex. Enormous body and acid. A blend of florals, almond, and dried herbs. I sense some thyme and petrol-like Riesling notes. Really superb stuff. Long mineral finish with that great acid. Will certainly age gracefully.

2011 Zind-Humbrecht Riesling Rangen de Thann Clos St. Urbain
8/18/2022 - ElGreco Likes this wine: 90 Points
The nose was a promising concoction of overripe stone fruit, dried stone fruit, and petrol. On the palate these flavors came on quite strongly as well, but the mid was a bit lacking. The finish was also fleeting; showing hints of mineral character and honey. Acid was medium and the alcohol was showing through a bit more than I would have liked (compared to bottle drunk recently). Fantastic nose with a decent palate. Perhaps drink a bit more chilled than usual?

2009 Elvio Cogno Barolo Riserva Vigna Elena

100% Nebbiolo Rose.
Aromas: explosive strawberry, sugar plum, fennel, raspberry, and indiscriminate floral notes.
Palate: Underbrush, dead leaves, and mineral notes intertwined with dried herbs, black pepper, and a leathery savory meat type flavor. Finishes with some strawberry/raspberry. A silky wine that still tastes very youthful. This could probably use more time in the bottle, but the acid and tannin are already well integrated.
