the 1995 Barolo Riserva La Rocca e La Pira and the 2000 Barbaresco Crichet Paje

This relatively refined CdlR should amply reward extended keeping and it is one of the better recent vintages that I have seen for this wine

Grilled meat

powerful and mouthcoating flavors deliver first-rate persistence on the impressively long finish that is also shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins

It is two varietal wines

Gerard Mugneret, Vosne Romanee Suchots other_regions_australia the 1995 Barolo Riserva La(from 40+ year old vines). There is just enough reduction to hide all but subtle floral and spice wisps. The round, delicious and velvet textured middle weight plus flavors manage to retain a lovely sense of both detail and energy, all wrapped in a refined and again youthfully austere finish. This is also really lovely and very Suchots in character and in contrast to the Brles, a wine that should be reasonably approachable in its youth. (90 93) 2026+
