2019 Domaine des Malandes Chablis 1er Cru Vau de VeyChardonnay more |
4/21/2024 - isbjoern wrote: 91 pointsClassy apple and lime flavors, fine acidity, and a nice touch of vanilla from the oak barrels. Seems to have gained in depth and complexity with age and it is drinking really well now. Excellent qpr.- 91 points |

4/19/2024 - isbjoern wrote: flawedCorked. And a surprisingly bad cork quality. I appreciate the FSC label on the cork and all the efforts of Salcheto to promote sustainable winemaking, but if bad cork quality ruins the wine and it ultimately goes down the sink, the whole idea of sustainable winemaking is somewhat jeopardized. |

2010 Château SiranMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/12/2024 - isbjoern wrote: 89 pointsVery dark, intense fruit, rich and dense and dominated by the Merlot, more Saint-Emilion than classy Margaux, very silky tannins, but stull lots of unappealing (at least for my palate) toasty oak adding notes of charcoal and bitterness. Not a wine of great elegance, but it tastes impressively young for an almost 14 year old wine. A few more years of bottle age might do the magic here and hopefully integrate the oak. Ok now, but I would hold another 3 years. - 89+ points |

4/7/2024 - isbjoern wrote: 89 pointsDark blackberry fruit, soft tannins, a rustic and very toasty oak flavor - a bit overdone for my palate, coconut, dark chocolate, Bounty; good wine - but this was more complex and better balanced in past vintages. - 89 points |

4/5/2024 - isbjoern wrote: 89 pointsClassy Riesling flavors, stone fruits, mineral, floral, lacking a bit of acidity and tastes a bit flat and simple and without much tension or complexity. Might show better with a few additional years of bottle age. - 89 points |

2014 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée St. VivantRomanée St. Vivant Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
3/17/2024 - isbjoern wrote: 93 pointsSomewhat closed, crisp red fruits, a bit vegetal and stemmy, good length, not the purity of fruit one hopes for in a DRC though. Did not quite live up to the high expectations, but certainly an excellent wine with significant potential to improve with some age. - 93+ points |

3/17/2024 - isbjoern wrote: 93 pointsVery light and crisp, only a little red cherry and raspberry and strawberry fruit left, the high acidity is the main feature now. Considering its age, this is still a lovely and very drinkable DRC. But it is not a vintage of great complexity. - (93 points) |

Still a baby of course but this already shows amazing balance, elegance and complexities. 2020 is clearly a great vintage for white Burgundy. This will develop into a great wine for sure - 97 points |
