Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

These pale against a 1980 Barbaresco but having wine-loving relatives visit is always a good excuse to pull a few out of the cellar.

All were good but the Mont-Redon was brilliant. Luxurious.

What was the Viberti like? I just ordered a few bottles of this the other day. Awaiting arrival.

I'm no expert but I thought it might be still a little young, or maybe I didn't decant it long enough (only 45 mins before drinking... got impatient) as it came across a bit closed to me.

For what it's worth, I still enjoyed it. And if you bought it through the Smashvino deal, great value.

However, would be interested to hear what you think...

Correct about where I purchased it from.

If you have more bottles, decant in the morning and drink in the evening. Barolo (and Barbaresco) is a tough beast. Even the 1980 I had yesterday I decanted for three hours.

Will try crack one in the next couple of months and report back.

In reference to the 2008 Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiaz...had a bottle (first of six) with lunch today (t-bone steak with a coffee rub). Pretty solid wine. Still quite primary and rich. Very well balanced. Luscious big palate. For me, still too young. Will revisit the next bottle in 3+ years.
