Last night we ended up chatting with an older couple next to us who turned out to be the Giguieres, founders of R.H. Phillips. Very charming and friendly people! (We talked about Tempranillo.)

You're talking to a man who cracks open a bottle of Chateau Pradeaux right after it's released. I have a masochistic side.
FWIW, I like modern Barolo young, when it smells like you've literally coated the glass with violet petals. I know this makes me a barbarian.

Paul Winalski wrote:Has Domaine de Andezon solved its quality problems? About a decade ago they were really hit and miss--one bottle would be fantastic and the next would have major flaws and be undrinkably bad. The QPR was excellent for the good bottles, but they were something of a crap shoot. If I was bringing De Andezon somewhere, I always brought an extra bottle or two just in case the first one was bad.
