I know premox is a mixture of cork and chemistry but I do wish old world would start using screwcaps, eliminates so many problems.



I love 09 whites from burgundy. Raveneau MdT 09 is one of my favourite wines ever.

Although 09 vintage in Barolo was hot and generally regarded as average, I think Rinaldi did a really good job with what he had and this was a beautiful example of what a good Barolo can be like. It was still a bit closed and probably needs another couple of years to open up.
Pretty much agree with your vintage assessment and have always been pleasantly surprised by certain producers talents in off vintages, glad to hear Rinaldi is among them.
