Napa, Pomerol and 2x Barolo

2002 Far Niente Oakville Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon;
Deep ruby, coffee, mocca, some berries in the back, very closed. Nice body and intencity, clean fruit, fresh acidity, ripe tannins, long finish. Will keep longer. 91


2005 Chateau La Fleur- Petrus;
Dark ruby, elegant nose, some dark berries, hints of herbs, some tobacco in the back. Very elegant and balanced, tender more than complex, ok acidity and lots of ripe tannins, long fresh finish. A charmer for the cellar. 90


2004 Gaja Sperss;
Bright ruby, clean and extremely elegant, tar, roses, hints of barrel, very closed, but true greatness beneath. Incredible acidity, ripe tannins, fantastic balance and elegance, very complex, extremely long finish. 96


2004 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Le Rocche del Falletto Riserva;
Brigth ruby, very closed, some cherries, hints of tar and roses in the back. Nice acidity, massive tannins, the fruit does not show too much, needs at least ten years in the cellar. 90, but this will probably go higher with age.
