2006 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains

Pinot Noir more

Attractive at first with fairly mature aromas, but there is a tannic hardness at the core of this Wine that is still unresolved and I fear will never come around. After 24 hours, the wine tastes quite disjointed. Drink up as it’s not going to improve from here.

1997 Domaine Prieuré Saint Christophe Vin de Savoie Prestige

Mondeuse more

4/10/2024 - ccn wrote: 95 points

One of the most interesting, unique wines I've ever had. (Bought off of a restaurant wine list at an attractive price and taken home.). Perfect cork, bottle in impeccable state. Amazing aromatic complexity and "fleshiness" -- great length too. As always with Mondeuse, you wish there was a bit more acidity, but serving slightly cool helps.

Perfectly nice with bright acidity but didn’t do anything interesting or gain in depth complexity during 4 hours ….

Pinot Noir more

Wow. Full on mature NSG, very stinky, long, bright. Really at peak but feels like it will hold here. Extremely complex. Perhaps a bit angular — acidity pronounced. Very bright toned with red fruit and ample secondaries.

2011 M. Chapoutier Ermitage Blanc De L'Orée

Hermitage Marsanne more

Highly concentrated and still fairly primary. Notes of lanolin/beeswax, grilled hazelnuts. Beautiful and distinctive but with 20+ years ahead. Still pale, no oxidation/colour change yet.

Clearly from a ripe and structured vintage. The tannins have softened but are still present, and there is still quite a bit of dark fruit here. Quite extracted. Seems to still have a lot of potential and development ahead of it. If I had to nitpick a bit, I found the flavour profile slightly muddy.

2017 Weingut Rosi Schuster Blaufränkisch St Margarethen

Neusiedlersee more

3/3/2024 - ccn wrote: 90 points

A lighter, more aromatic, more balanced style of Blaufrankish. 13.5% alcohol on the label seems right. Good from the start, but improved over 24 hours. Bright, crunchy cranberries, good acidity, spicy but integrated tannins. Drinking already but will improve for 5 years.

My first BV and wow! Volume is turned up to 11 here. Huge tobacco and cedar notes with incredible length and amplitude. The wine was completely open from the first moment and surprisingly did not evolve or fade at all over two hours. I think the wine is at Peak, but will stay here for quite some time.

Still young and quite primary. This really needs another five years to begin showing the complexity that I love so much in 2014 and some earlier vintages.

The 2016 of this wine was outstanding. I found this 2019 vintage disappointing. Concentrated and pure, yes; but highly acidic, tightly wound, and nervous with none of the sexy reductive notes I loved in 2016.

(Restaurant purchase, decanted 1 hour). Mature with tannins fully integrated and perhaps very beginning of secondaries. Balanced and wells structured with good length but limited complexity.

This has improved significantly since my last bottle. Nice the first night but possible still a bit nervous/ edgy -- but boy was it singing on day two. Feels at or near peak.

From double magnum, ex-chateau.
An outstanding white Bordeaux with a complex nose of wax and lanolin, lovely and long. But still an infant with 10+ years ahead!

Oswalds, ex chateau. A perfect (!!) bottle that looks like the Mabel was printed /. Restrained, aromatic with pencil lead and cedar and a very gentle, subtle , blackberry or Cassis aroma. There are still tenants quite present, which softened over one hour. What a lovely wine, all about subtlety rather than Power.
