I had four wines over the weekend at a friends cabin. Because of some of the meds I'm taking I didn't really take notes since I expectorated my sampling and had some problem with my taste buds due the fact that my meds make my mouth very dry, but here is my overall impressions:
1976 Sonoma Vineyards "River West" Zin. Still going strong even the next day, the immediate rush of briary, strawberry flavours are long gone and the whole structure of the wine was that of a good Cru Bourgeois Bordeaux.
88/100
1982 Ormes de Pez-Still complex and harmonious and a little past its peak but very drinkable 87/100
1989 Poggio Antico Rosso di Montalcino. Aging nicely, some tannins remain. Could reach peak soon. 89/100
1987 Vietti Barolo Castiglione. Although drinkable, this rich tarry violet scented wines has miles to go before its mature. 90/100
