2001
Lemelson - Pinot Noir Stermer Vineyard
Nice wine, very understated. Possibly a bit low in acid and not terribly aromatic.
1998
Beaurenard - Chateauneuf du Pape
Lots of cherry, probably too much giving it a one-dimensional feel. Also, too much alcohol. I expected a better showing than this.
1997
Produttori del Barbaresco - Barbaresco Riserva Ovello
Nice bright acidity and very chianti like. Good structure but could be more complex
2002
L'Ecole No 41 - Perigee Seven Hills Vineyard
Very bordeaux-like, the cab franc is not offensive and the nose is pure. The only detraction is the sickening cherry cough syrup/too much oak finish that ultimately detracts from the experience.
2003
Parusso, Armando - Barolo
Quite fruity but still with a nice acid backbone. Lacks clear focus. Will be interesting to see how this tastes in a few years.
