NEW: Praise and blame of corked wines

Today there is a Chardonnay from Ramey and a Gattinara from Nervi.

Incredible, the Ramey 2010 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard is just beginning to reach drinking maturity and will benefit from further storage. The wine has caramel, vanilla, white nougat, full body and appears young with lots of potential. Now 18.5/20 points, with further maturity even more.

The Nervi 2016 Gattinara is incredibly balanced and elegant for a young Nebbiolo. The 2016 vintage certainly contributes to this. The wine has cherry, herbs, lots of fruit, licorice, full body, perfect balance, and seems light-footed. The tannins are only noticeable in the finish. 18.3/20 points.
