1993 Azienda Bricco Rocche (Ceretto) Barolo Bricco Rocche

Did I love it? Yes. Was it Barolo? Yes, but I wanted more of what Piemonte can be. The nose was all crushed flowers, stone, a bit of aluminum and . . . yes . . . oak. The fruit was still there. I liked the balance and the rustic intensity. Long finish. Very clean. All in all a winner. I gave an extra point because of how good a shape this 1993 was in. Impressive. Perhaps a bit past its time, but who of us aren't.

2014 Patricia Green Cellars Pinot Noir Notorious

This wine was a revelation. Had it on Thanksgiving with appetizers. The kids were pouring and announcing that this wine was the Notorious BIG (as in huge wine). It was gone before it made its way around the room. I had a small pour and they were 100% correct. Huge dark-fruited nose, with a bit of earth. The palate was spot on - yes it's big but so delicious. This is not Burgundy - but that's not what you are searching for in this wine. Much better than many wines costing more.

1989 Cordero di Montezemolo Barolo Vigna Enrico VI

Initially lost points because the wine was cloudy, but the bottle only had a few hours before opening to stand at attention. The nose was a bit reticent with cherry, earth, stone, and crushed dried rose petals. The wine was reasonably balanced, but more delicate than expected. There was still some acidity and tannin. This wine is at its apogee and will slowly fade over the next five to seven years. Overall, some dried light fruits, with hints of cherry, raspberry and leather with a medium finish.
