Favorites Tasting Nov 2013

This wonderful tasting of bottles supplied by the membership included three Italian wines, a mini-vertical of the 2003 Medoc vintage, and a concluding Monopole Vosnee Romanee that demonstrated the different winemaking of these terriors!!

#1 2006 Poggio Al Sole Casasilia Chianti Classico

#2 1992 Rosso Ca' del Merlo Giuseppe Quintarelli

A single vinyard valpolicella double fermented in

the ripasso style.

#3 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Il Poggione Francheschi

#4 2003 Lynch Moussas

Full, rustic, rich - what a value !!

#5 2003 Lynch Bages

#6 2003 Pichon Lalande

Rich, feminine, soft, multilayered, very

approachable.

#7 2003 Pichon Baron

This was the concensus best of the 2003's - full of

spice with a clean spice and vanilla focus.

#8 2003 Pontet Canet

#9 2007 Vosnee Romanee Clos e la Fontaine Monopole

Anne Francois Gross

Small production of a ‘premier cru’ Burgundy, certainly known for it’s spice characteristics. Anne Francois Gros is sister to the famous Anne Gros whose wines have more recognition, but in this case, the small production (under 100 cases) is a treat !
