Evolved colour as one would expect from a 2004. Wine with good balance and a warm aromatic profile with leather, plums and dark berries. Smooth tannins.
Very good: 16/20

Bruno Clair Chambolle Musigny 2007
Fine and delicate, small red fruit but dominantly crisp and high in acids, like so many 2007s. Still a great example of Burgundy pinot noir.

Beni di Batasiolo Langhe 2009
Looking for a good value nebbiolo based wine? Lots of barolo producers offer wine under the Langhe label, usually a wine made of young vine nebbiolo grapes. The Langhe are a hilly area to the south and east of the river Tanaro in the province of Cuneo in Piedmont, northern Italy.
The Langhe I tasted today - Beni di Batasiolo Langhe Rosso 2009 - is a fine example. Light in colour, very transparant, slightly brownish, with the haunting aroma of tar, violets and truffles, albeit less intense as in the real stuff of a true Barolo. Good value for less than 10 euro, bought in the supermarket chain Makro in Belgium. A very decent introduction to the wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, both of them belonging to the greatets wines of this world.
Score: 16.5/20
