Mark S wrote:Felsina, Chianti Classico Riserva, 'Rancia', 2004
Tobacco, leather, savory flavors, wood notes and carob shell. Tight and austere, not really that attractive. Rather strange: almost has corked hints but opens more broadly to savory and woody notes. Lacking fun and enjoyment..
Produttori, Barolo, 2006
Whoa! Tannic as hell without fruit to back it up. Nasty: thin, acidic, enamel scratching tannins. Yuck. [And this is from the so-called "better" later bottling of "reserve juice"] Nothing like a bottle tried when it first came out..
Louis Jadot, Beaune, Domaine Gagey, 'Cent Vignes' 2009
Floral strawberry and rosewater. Lightweight Burgundy...airy textured. At 9 years, ready to go..
Liked this a lot on release
Francois Cotat, Sancerre, 'Les Monts Damnes', 2010
Grapefruit with grassy scents. Soft in feel, citrus not as pronounced in the glass. Light butter cream frosting, watery egg white, touch of lemon water and caraway seed. Dee-lish..
Eminence Road, Pinot Noir, Finger Lakes, Elizabeth's Vineyard, 2012
Subtle smoky nose and mulled red fruits on the nose. Bright and spicy red fruits, blackcurrant leaf, with perhaps a tad of brett and/or volatile acidity. Good, but a little one dimensional and straight forward. 12.4% .

Too bad, I liked this near release. Low level TCA?

Hmm. Later bottling sounds like the PdB Barbaresco. What wine are we talking about?
I have a several Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco '06, 2 different lots

I like ER, but prefer CF to PN

Full of dull strawberry and stemmy sewage, lightly tannic still with good acidity, some orange rind in the back. Bit one dimensional, but not bad.

First time I have heard "sewage" described as "not bad".
