The Sandrone Barolo Cunnubi Bochis en Jeroboam '98 out of Jeroboam had been decanted four (4) times about 4 hours before serving. It was still way youthful. To me, the nose and palate were still tight and restrained. Lots of dark fruits (black cherry?), rustic style, not what I expect from a typical Barolo, altogether a good if not notable wine. Cellaring it longer will definitely not hurt it and perhaps it will open up over time. [E-]

To be fair, some other folks seemed to like this wine more than I did.

This Barolo was a nice accompaniment with the veal, oyster mushrooms, black pepper sauce, and spinach.

Sometimes I think Peter is actually Eden Mylunsch returned to troll us. But I don’t think we are so lucky!

Maureen, I don't drink sparkling drinks so I didn't have any of the Bollinger La Grande Annee '08, but I can tell you that everyone (most of them quite wine-knowledgeable) loved it and felt it is in a very good place now with plenty of life left.

The appetizers were extraordinary, so the Champagne paired with them very nicely.
