Flight 3 (5 Notes)

  • 2003 Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 95 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    still no signs af declining - and furthermore, no signs of the heated 2003; hail Mourvèdre. This showed at bit more like the real McCoy, a neuf close to the soil, barnyard, sweet Grenache, rustique, but elegant nonetheless. The length is impressive. Ib liked this one a lot, as did I...

  • 2010 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grands-Echezeaux 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru

    Initially the lightness of being, that is great Burgundy, shines through. Everyone loves it, the girls especially, i would have prefered to air it more (but it was a gift); with air, the depth arrived, some sous bois, the tight concentration was set a bit free. Great things to come, much, much to early to drink. The score is conservative.

  • 2001 Henri Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve des Célestins 97 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    From magnum (bottle #72); very true to the style of the domaine and to the terroir of La Crau. This is a full neuf, garrigue, barnyard, Grenache galore, but also with the mineral elegance of the vintage 2001, that remains one of the most succesful of the last 25 years. Tasted over two days with no hints of any change what so ever, thank you, Ib, for bringing this...

  • 2014 Sadie Family Soldaat 92 Points

    South Africa, Olifants River, Citrusdal, Piekenierskloof

    Ok, so I could not resist serving this blind for Ib, who had no clue - he certainly looked in southern Rhône, Rayas-land; the Grenache here is light on it's feet, it's juicy stuff indeed, sweetness galore, some spice, beautiful balance - it shall be interesting to follow this one

  • 2005 Château Palmer 97 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Extremely concentrated, mineral, tight fisted with a core of black berries and cocoa. Great structure, great balance, a grand Bordeaux-wine - much too young. (but hard to resist)
