2/3/2024 - bcolbath wrote: 94 pointsA very nice example of a premier Barolo. IMO it's without any real flaws. I'm not into detailing all the various flavors, smells etc., that other tasters seem so fond of doing. This is a very nice, albeit $$, Barolo that will not embarrass you. |

2012 Stony Hill ChardonnayNapa Valley more |
7/3/2023 - bcolbath wrote: 94 pointsA "very, very, very" good CA chardonnay -- as I described this to a reluctant friend over dinner last night (Melissa Clark's scallops sautéed in butter -- outstanding). Color a perfect straw gold, nose fragrantly Californian and a taste of nectar. I am particularly peeved that Stony Hill was recently sold and the price of a bottle of this gem has tripled to over $100!. I still have few bottles of the latest vintages (including a few of these). For inquiring minds -- quality storage is key. |
