Barolo Dinner (Mathilde Bistro - SF): Beautiful, elegant nose. Palate is super tightly clenched, with burly tannins that coat the gums and grab hold with a firm grip. You get a glimpse of beautiful red fruit that is mostly imprisoned in a cage of structure. Monolithic for now, and one feels this will be excellent in another ~15 years. 90 for enjoyment now, 95+ with time.

Barolo Dinner (Mathilde, San Francisco): Red fruited, cherry, a bit of spice, aromatic; palate has balanced tannin, lovely red fruit, underlying depth but not clear yet; medium length finish. Comes across as a bit more modern than Vajra but still quite traditional. 93

Tasted over two days. Didn't take many notes. I'd give the aromas a 9 out of 10, but the palate was a 6.5 out of 10. Lots and lots of tannins. I think this will need another 5-10 years before the tannins even out and the fruits starts to shine. 94

March Madness Wine Tasting: Served blind. Definitely Nebbiolo and very young with grippy tannic finish. This needed food to balance out the tannin. That said, this is a lovely wine with very clean, pure fruit.
