Bouchard Père et Fils
Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2010
We had the 2010 Vintage on 11/4-5/23. A real good PN. Tastes of raspberry, strawberry and baking spice. Medium bodied. More fruit forward for a Burgundy. I spoke to Flavio at The Wine Watch. He tells me this wine maker produces wines more fruit forward than most Burgundies. I sensed this wine was more CA than FR. — a year ago

Cerequio Barolo Nebbiolo 2016
2016 annata top. Barolo austero e potente, un vero Cerequio. Piccolo produttore e alta qualità. C’è tutto, alcolicità ben bilanciata, tannino vellutato, profondo e in continua evoluzione nel calice. Si sente ancora troppo la tostatura dell’affinamento. Etereo dal 2024/26 — 3 years ago
La Palazzetta (Flavio Fanti)
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015
With some of the entry-level Brunelli like this one, it’s a tough call when to open them. In my experience many try to play in the big leagues by overextracting. This one’s always been on the tannic, somewhat astringent side, so you want to wait to allow the tannins to drop and for it to settle down, but you don’t want to wait so long that the fruit dries up. I think this is about as good as it’s going to get. The fruit is still there, and the astringency is abating a bit. Still tannic. Good acids. Should go well with a simple pasta with tomato and sausage sauce.
UPDATE: After 24 hours under a vacuum seal, it was so astringent as to be nearly undrinkable, to my taste. — 15 days ago

Old school barstool showing what nebiolo can do. Very refined tannins, a bit port like burn. Excellent. Too bad Flavio is not well and may stop making wine.
