2007 Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
3/17/2011 - razmaspaz Likes this wine: 90 pointsDrank over 3 days. Color was very dark. On the nose a dark black tea and maybe some orange peel. Spicy but not overtly oaked. Nice fruit on the second night, but on the first night it was the tannin and structure that led. Should pick up more of this for the medium term. |

2007 Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
2/18/2011 - razmaspaz Does not like this wine: 84 pointsMaybe I'm just in a different place style wise, but for all the hype on 2007 this under delivers big time. Oak Oak Oak. But the fruit just isn't there to back it up. It tasted really woody, but was without the signature vanilla I think makes the oak palatable. From a stalwart producer with a defined style, this is a poor effort. |

1/24/2011 - razmaspaz wrote: NRUGC Chicago Bordeaux 2008 Vintage: burned barrel almost scotch nose to it. There better be lots of fruit in there or uh oh. Acid for days but fruit is hidden. I don't know this seems powerfully disjointed. |

1/24/2011 - razmaspaz wrote: NRUGC Chicago Bordeaux 2008 Vintage: very nice nose reminiscent of Lagrange. Fine tannin and tight but good fruit. Very focused wine. Surprise, its next door to Lagrange according to the proprietor. |

1/24/2011 - razmaspaz wrote: NRUGC Chicago Bordeaux 2008 Vintage: closed down, but I can pick out that classic nose. Not feeling this so much. Not bad, but just average here among all the other Margaux today. Might show better if more open. |

1/24/2011 - razmaspaz wrote: NRUGC Chicago Bordeaux 2008 Vintage: acid in spades, not gonna bother with the nose, itsa clone of margaux (tea and cherries). Good but not balanced in the tannin and acid. Acid is punchy in a nice crisp way. |

1/24/2011 - razmaspaz wrote: NRUGC Chicago Bordeaux 2008 Vintage: decidedly different. Same cherry but there is a lot more earth present on the nose. Good acid in the mouth silky smooth refined tannin. Standout wine of Margaux. |
