Dusky Goose paired with delicious fresh Maryland Blue crab cakes followed by selection of locally made chocolates paired with the Bussia Dardi Le Rose.
First let me say that the '01 Colla Bussia had an incredible balsamic and floral nose that kept getting better and better. Nice :)
Full decant and kept gaining presence until it was gone about 5 hours later. (13.5% abv) Rich dark cherry and tar with a nice bit of minerality. Quite deft, not heavy, classically styled Barolo. A serviceable and enjoyable wine. May benefit from a couple of more years of cellaring. Killer with the chocolates.
First time I've tried the Dusky Goose Pinot Noir. Really liked it a lot. Will be buying more. 13% abv. Delightful expression of volcanic-influenced Jory terroir from Rambouillet Vineyard (Dundee Hills). Crafted by Lynn Penner-Ash. Very well balanced. Superbly alluring sweetness to the tannins. Intriguingly delicate nose with scents of sandalwood and spice. Cherry and rose palate with a neat bit of sous bois and savory dusty minerality. Very smooth, satiny texture. Good stuff :)
