2004 Paitin Barbaresco Sorì Paitin
Slow o'd for several hours before dinner. This bottle showed extremely well ... perhaps exhibiting a bit more refinement than a bottle we enjoyed a couple of weeks ago. Make no mistake, this wine is a fruit forward mouthful of delicious dark berry framed by tannins softened by age. I could forsee delicious tertiary development over the next twenty years. Always a delight to drink one of these wines from any vintage. Paired nicely with blackened catfish filet served over grits and covered with a shrimp and spicy andouille sausage étouffée.2012 Pecchenino Barolo Bussia
Drinking deliciously now.... a mid-weight wine exhibiting delightfully balanced character with mouthwatering acidity framing the fruit. I think this will age elegantly. Historically, a producer more known for their Dogliani, they've cracked the code with decent Barolo as well.
