-- Stephen Tanzer

The 2006 Barolo Lazzarito has begun to show the pedigree of this great Serralunga site now that Vietti has backed off the French oak

as they seem to be selling the new vintages very fast and they even sell part of their wines en primeur

Spice-accented aromas complement cassis

Domaine Tawse, Mazis Chambertin Vintage:2013 -- Stephen Tanzer(from Mazis Bas). Here too there is just enough wood to notice on the much spicier and sauvageinflected nose of red currant, dark pinot fruit and plenty of earth character. The impressively rich and full bodied flavors possess excellent muscularity while delivering plenty of minerality on the well balanced and beautifully complex finale. This is excellent but note well that it will definitely require at least some patience. (92 95) 2030+
