2016 Chateau Vaudieu Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Humble entry wine from Vaudieu..
Sings on day 2 with prime rib. 
Green light for another 5 to 10 years of cellaring.
Very pretty fruit...

2014 Fiorenzo Nada Barbaresco Manzola

A very elegantly structured, lithe and classic rendition of Nebbiolo. More open and improving on day 2. Wish I had more of this.

Spain, Burgundy, Rhone and Barbaresco

Beautiful, aged Grenache from Spain, nice Volnay, very very nice Cote-Rotie, and delicious Barbaresco... paired with chicken and sausage jambalaya. Took some of the sting out of the Dawgs loss to Bama...
Volnay required a lot of aeration and was tasty. The Cote-Rotie was cranking from the start and just got better and better. It was my favorite of the night. The Barbaresco showed really really well after a couple of hours in a decanter.  I haven't tried any 2014 Barbaresco up until this one. My impression was of filigreed tannins and balanced fruit once it got some air. Needs another 5 years minimum. Nice potential. 
Cleaning up listening to Rolling Stones live at University of Leeds (1971) and finishing off the Barbaresco...
