1997
Pio Cesare - Barbaresco Il Bricco
Decanted. After a couple of hours the nose start to express it self with roses, leather, but not really intense. Palate show some sour cherries, but there is so much structure still here. The flavours don't really have a chance to come out. Long, very tannic and very dry finish. Hold 10 more years.
1999
Pichler, FX - Riesling Loibner Berg Smaragd
This was a great bottle with some crispy acidity left. Pears, petroleum and mineral. Good length. Drink now.
2007
Loosen, Dr - Erdener Pralat Riesling Auslese
Nice intense and open nose of yellow stone fuits, mineral and hints of rubber. Sweet taste of lime and pear and stone fruit with lots of refreshing acidity.
2003
Raveneau - Chablis Valmur
Not decanted. Mineral nose of seashell backed by some citrus notes. Not the intensity we are used to with Raveneau however which is also true for the palate. Good attack and pretty fat in structure with just sufficient acidity to stay fresh. Intensity is clearly lacking leaving a hole in the middle with only fat a structure. Decent length. Not a bad wine, especially given the vintage conditions, but not near other Raveneaus, even on premier cru level. If you have this, I suggest you drink now, because I don't think there's more complexity to gain here. Pair with not-so-intensely flavoured dishes.
2006
Matteo-Correggia - Barbera d'Alba
Food wine. Very fruity but still tight. Good acidity, very lively. Cherry, cassis and raspberry fruits but also some mineral and wood. Becomes hard work on its own.
