2001 Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo Riserva Granbussia

this wine, for me, is in a beautiful place. still has fruit, beautiful mouth feel. real smooth, and totally captures the velvet glove in the iron first. i think i will be doing a blind tasting of some barolos from this time period to see who can pick the traditionalists from the modernists. because this bottle was rocking.

2009 Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga Chianti Classico Riserva Rancia

oh my. this bottle has fallen off a cliff. no fruit left, just a bunch of funk. for my palate, this wine was much better in its youth.
in looking at my previous notes, this wine was always a bit burley and rustic, and the aging curve seems to be in line with my previous notes. it was never a charmer, and at 17 years old, it still is not.

2010 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combe aux Moines Vieille Vigne

good bottle. very pretty for a gevrey. has nice density to it. but similar to other tastings, i have found 2010s to be aging a bit quicker than i would have expected. nonetheless, a terrific showing for this bottle.
