  • 2007 Dog Point Vineyard Section 94

    New Zealand, South Island, Marlborough

    This was served blind. It was originally a little cold which muted the nose. However the touch of oak was beautiful integrated. Initially mistaken for a white Burgundy however as it warmed up it started giving off its classic Sauvignon Blanc nose and was first thought to be a Didier Dagueneau but transpired to be a Dog Point SB. A very nice wine and atypical NZ SB. My first quess was Greywacke Wild Sauvignon but I went the Burgundy route after that and got it wrong.

  • 1998 Château Pape Clément Blanc

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    Super wine on the nose, love the Semilion but it doesn't deliver on the palate, I think it is a touch flabby. A touch more acidity and it would be super. Lovely yellow colour.

  • 2005 Domaine Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Perrières

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru

    Opened and decanted. Served a little cold. Took a while to open up, this is a classy wine. Fantastic precision, acidity and balance. Would love to have a case of this tooked away. Long life ahead of it. If you have a good few of these open one up and enjoy, other wise wait. Served with John Dory with tea-smoked duck, fondant potato, fennel puree and bordelaise sauce.

  • 1988 Château Haut-Brion

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    This was my first time having a First Growth, I was really looking forward to it, however I had three other flights before this one, (1 Champagne flight, 1 White and 1 Red Burgundy Flight). I struggled a little to differentiate between the '89 Cos and this. Maybe next time on it's own I might have more time to enjoy.

  • 1989 Château Cos d'Estournel

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe

    I have had the '88 Cos before about 10 years ago and it was super. I was really looking forward to this, however I had three other flights before this one, (1 Champagne flight, 1 White and 1 Red Burgundy Flight). I struggled a little to differentiate between the '88 Haut Brion and this.
