#winebouche

There is only a selection of people in the world that have had or will ever have Vega Sicilia. A special group of people that are united in enjoying this most unique of wines. It's an enigma. A memory. An experience to behold. I feel privileged to have joined this group with a good friend by my side. Tasting notes soon to be on the new website. Coming soon....look out for updates.... #winebouche #vegasicilia #1999 (at Unico 1999)

This bottle came from one of the 1000 cases Bartolo (Maria Theresa, his daughter) produces for the entire world to enjoy. So old skool that Maria Theresa dubs herself as the "last of the Mohicans"! A riper vintage (09), with often edgy tannins and darker fruits than usual. Not here. "Soft fruit, polished tannins. All the elements are in the right place" (Antonio Galloni) #bartolo #mascarello #barolo #2009 #winebouche #piedmont (at The King)

Paul-Henri Thillardon took me on a journey the other day. I'm a big fan of Chenas and neighbouring Moulin-a-Vent. And this wine did not disappoint. Crazy value. On opening, it was like the "young bull" trying to prove itself in as many ways as possible. After 2 hours it relaxed and transformed into a grown up; with concentration, depth and incredible tannins. #decanter #openitandwait #thillardon #chenas #winebouche #peanuts #gamay (at Chenas)
