The '04 Bricco Boschis is drinking well, probably around peak for my taste, with a good mix of primary fruit and secondary characteristics and well integrated tannins. On the nose, I found black cherry fruit, balsamic, dark floral tones and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine is medium in body with tannins that are still a touch grainy, but largely integrated, and medium acidity.

Barolo 2004 with the Jeroboam Club (Little Shop and Pantry, Bristol): Ruby-red with a bit of bricking, slightly dullish. Balsam and cherry menthol at first on the nose, then a yeasty-bovril note that came and went; ultimately fresh and appealing. Fresh on the palate too, vivid, has real energy. Balanced. Clay-like tannins. Now in a very good place, possibly at peak but plenty left in the tank

Dinner with the wine group (Sole Ristorante, San Mateo): Light ruby, age appropriate bricking; aromatic, red fruited, slight tar and roses; palate is light bodied, tannins still youthful, red cherry fruit, not yet at maturity; finish is medium-plus. 92
