Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2008 Zenato
Dom Pérignon
Brut Champagne Blend 2008
24 hours air? Can you explain, Josh.
@Peter van den Besselaar better to rephrase- it was good but reticent upon opening, so we recorked it and then tried again after 24 hours, at which point it was really amazing.
@Josh Morgenthau Aah, clear!

Viña Tondonia Rioja Rosé Blend 2008
What a treat! Tangerine, burnt orange peel, caramel, and wet dog. Sherry characteristics.
Absolutely one of a kind. Seems to have plenty of gas left in the tank. — 6 months ago
I think the current release is the 2010. This is always fun juice.
@Severn Goodwin Wish I could get my hands on some more. Winery seems to be holding back and when it gets in the market it’s super allocated. Will be hunting it down!
Agree, I buy a few bottles any time I see it, which is becoming much less frequent.
Thierry Allemand
Chaillot Cornas Syrah 2008
Great vintage for Allemand This had an intoxicating nose with dark fruit that was inky with a glycerin note, iron, meat, olive, pepper, savory spice & violet. Silky, balanced on the palate with a long finish. — 3 months ago

This was opened and we enjoyed a few glasses before recorking and reapproaching 24 hours later, at which point it was really singing. Yellow peach, pear and medley of orchard fruit, layered with pressed yellow flowers, dried persimmon, and notes of vanilla and bourbon. So delicate. Such fine bubbles. Saltwater taffy and some caramel and rock salt on the palate. Subtle tannic echo. Mesmerizing. — a month ago
