2017 Tenuta Cucco Barolo Bricco Voghera
3/27/2024 - WineGuyX Likes this wine: 93 Points
Beautiful and intense nose of damp forest floor, composting leaves, pine needles, leather, cedar and black cherries. Medium-full bodied, this is rich and intense, with flavors that largely mimic the aromas with a solid core of sweet pomegranate, blood orange and rusted iron filings. This is in need of another year or two to reveal its full self. In the meantime, give a 3+ hour decant. Drink 2026-2032 93.

2007 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau

From 375
Big nose of eucalyptus and cherry cough syrup as well as rosemary and laurel. Very rich and full-bodied, this is stacked with sweet black and red fruits as well as herbs and spices. I typically haven't enjoyed the 2007s in their youth, but this is now starting to interest me. Still has a decent tug of tannin and crisp acidity. Given this is from a half bottle stored in my very cool basement (as opposed to my proper cellar), it's remarkably youthful! Drink now-2029 95

2009 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Modest nose of rich, super ripe blackberries and lavender. Full-bodied, this is round on the palate and shows maturity, but no signs of advanced age. Quite delicious on its on and with Chinese takeout! The palate is loaded with sweet blackberry syrup, black cherry, laurel and Asian spices. This is delicious and has really improved since my last bottle. Drink now-2028 93
