Gemma Barolo 2007, Docg
Piedmont, Italy$29.95
I'm so glad that kept this wine till today. Produced in the commune of Serralunga d’Alba, wine has a garnet red colour with deep brown edges, and a bouquet of ripe fruits with spicy hints of cloves and pepper. Chocolate, tabac and dark fruit on the nose. Unfortunately still short to medium finish. Tannic but balanced.
Paired with ravioli stuffed with ricotta and spinach, soused with butter with sage
Tasted May 2017
Château Lestruelle 2009, Ac Médoc, Cru Bourgeois
Bordeaux, France$18.95
Deep garnet-purple coloured, it offers intensely scented aromas of black cherry, casis and plum pudding with some presence of oak. Full bodied with high amount of acid. Finish with good persistence, but a little bit closed and tannic in the mouth at this stage.
This should improve over the next 2-4 years.
Tasted October 2012.
Rocca Delle Macìe Chianti Classico Riserva 2006, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$22.95
The 2006 vintage is said to be one of the greatest vintages for Sangiovese in last 15 years. The grapes reached optimum ripeness with ideal sugar levels.
This beautiful dark deep red is 90% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and was aged 2 years in French oak barrels.
Demonstrates complex aromas of black cherry and plum, dried herbs, cedar, vanilla with tobacco notes.
Well balanced on palate with silky texture and concentrated black fruit, herbs and spices.
Finish is warm and pleasant, very good length. Ready to drink now, don’t cellar.
Tasted January, 2013.
