1999 Castello di Monsanto, Chianti Classico Riserva, Il poggio;
Ruby with garnet rim, lots of sediments. Intence of cherries, liquorice, prunes, tobacco, slightly oxidized and quite mature. Quite acidic, rustic tannins, intence but a bit one dimentional, drying out. (bottle have been so frozen the cork was pulled out, and then left for a couple of days with a cork in the bottle. Quite impressive it lasted so well, how would a perfect botle be?) 75
1999 Domenico Clerico, Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra;
Ruby with thin garnet rim. Intence of roses and tar, hints of liquorice and violets, maturing. Fresh acidity, ripe wall of tannins, great balance, complex, great structure, some oak in the finish still, will last, keep another five years. 89 (My bottle, no guesses)
1995 Chateau d'Issan;
Deep ruby towards brick rim. Soft, gentle of tobacco, cigars, hints of prunes, cassis, some earthy notes and slightly spicy. Fresh acidity, ripe and quite mature tannins, leaner body, elegant, good length. 88 (Bordeaux, left bank, St Julien? 4th or 5th growth, maybe 90?)
2007 Schloss Gobelsburg, Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese;
Golden colour, botrytis, apricots, intence pineapple. Fresh acidity, very fresh fruit, elegant, a bit heavy and sweet, good finish. 82 (Can't be German, to heavy, SDG lesser producer Alsace? or very clean sweet something from northern Italy?)
