Le Rocche del Falletto Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo 2004

2004 Bruno Giacosa Le Rocche Falletto Riserva:

pale garnet color with notable tearing.
Initial impressions upon opening: Still a little closed. . . medium intensity of cherry, rose petal, balsamic, orange spice herbs (rosemary, oregano), fig, tar, tea, eucalyptus, Beachwood. On the palate, high acid, high alcohol, light-body, really finely grained tannins - polished - and high intensity of flavors echoing the nose but in an ethereal body that feels weightless. The finish is very long. Seems to end but then comes back for a second and third lap.
After 2 hr decant: nose opening up - aromas similar but medium (+) to pronounced with an added cola element and anise.
After 4 hrs: more tea and forest floor. The second day, it showed a lot more tertiary notes.

I enjoyed it most at a 2 hr decant.

Overall, it is a brilliantly balanced wine with a ton of complexity and potential. Drinking it this early though is to cut it short. Better to wait another 10+ years and enjoy it at its fullest.

Quinta Reserva Oregon Port Style Pinot Noir 2010

Just an awesome, unique port. Smells of musty beachwood, and has a bright finish instead of heavy being its a Pinot Port. — 10 years ago

Propagation Series No. 064 Ale

This is super interesting, could never drink more than a glass of this, but facing ting flavors. Very obvious Brett nose and taste, but also a great Nelson hop finish. It's an odd mash up of sour and IPA flavors. Overall intriguing but don't ever need to have again. — 8 years ago

Chakalaka Red Blend 2012

You cannot miss the bramble coming off of this unique blend - the bush vines are evident. You also get some purple flowers, beachwood, a touch of salinity and a jammy berry mix. The tannins grip and hold, but they don't punish. This is really one of those thinking wines, one that bears experiencing. I'll admit to not be initially impressed, but given a bit more time and it grows on you. Those bramble berries give way to ink, graphite, dry earth and a touch of potpourri (vanilla oak at the finish). South Africa, folks, worth your attention. — 9 years ago

Even better on day 2. The bramble has softened a bit given you earlier access to the more subtle notes of the wine. If I get this again I would look to decant it for about an hour before drinking.
