Brought to a dinner with some guests visiting from Piemonte. The 2008 “Taillepieds” pours a deep ruby with a translucent core; medium viscosity with no obvious staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with tart and slightly underripe strawberry, cherry, mushrooms, red flowers, varnish (yeah, there’s some VA) stony earth and delicate baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin, medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The body is fit and the finish is long and full of energy. This is a really attractive beauty; the sort that you might feel compelled to apologize to for gawking. And, while I found this to be really tasty at nearly 16 years of age, it clearly has a long way to go. Drink now through 2033+. — 22 days ago

Nose is so expressive. Gorgeous ripe mid season cherries and elegant spices. Some lovely earth and limestone scents and minuscule hint of wood. Palate is bursting with cherry fruit and is so sapid. Concentrated, fresh and full of red fruits and a supple texture and engaging sweetness. Barely any tannin but what is there is so fine. — 21 days ago

Still a baby. Needs an hour to be civilized. 5 years to be great.

Nose: elegant lavender. Lilacs. Elegantly savory. Earth.

Palate: still young and candyish like young vintage port. But it’s. All. There. Vibrant cherries.

9.5 is a floor. Will likely be higher. HOLD.

Yeah. 9.7. Nose is magic at 90 minutes. That maesltrom of dark flowers, wet brick and spice flowers. A hint of musk. Sensual. Sexy. Wow!
