1/9/2020 - DollarMenunaire wrote: NRSeeping bottle with a low-mid shoulder fill. Amber hue is perhaps just slightly less red than a 10-year tawny. This wine is in amazing condition in the glass despite the problems with the bottle. Extremely rich and viscous. A searingly fresh line of acidity almost completely brings in the high richness from front to back. A fruitcake potpourri of dried red currant and orange peel fills out the palate with a hint of light roast coffee. The fruit and spice are complemented by a more subtle nuttiness which fans out on the finish instead of the nuttiness being forward... that's what separates the profile from a high-end 30 or 40-year tawny. Beautiful and bulletproof. The finish simply doesn't end. Wow.

9/3/2016 - rossi.wine wrote: 98 pointsNow officially a GG, this is the new label of "A.de.L.", situated just above their Halenberg vineyard in Monzingen. Will be sold at auction (240 magnums and a handful of double-magnums). On the nose floral, mineral, showing ripe stone fruit, some tropical fruit notes as well. Clean, bright with tremendous depth. On the palate tight, saline and intense, still a little rounder than 2015 Halenberg GG, quite delicate almost and lifted despite all that power and minerality. Very very long and breathtakingly beautiful. 97-98+

9/15/2012 - Wine Canuck wrote: 99 pointsSuper Tasting 1 of 6 - Andrew (Langdon Hall, Cambridge, ON): Wow! One of the best wines I've ever had. Compared to the 1989 La Mission Haut Brion served next to it this wine is darker; showing more charcoal, and a rustic edge, touches of tobacco, fresh floor, and herbs. Aeromatically this is simply bringing awesome complexity. Palate is dense and plush with plenty of freshness and fruit. Just so unique and complex, really stands apart from the reds of the Medoc.

10/3/2023 - ricard Likes this wine: 97 pointsAnother jewel of a wine. Utterly hypnotic nose, delicately perfumed. It's glorious in *every* way. This is a super serious wine. What you'd imagine rubies would taste like if they had flavour. The tension, tautness and sheer intensity is really something to behold. The purity and lofty, ethereal beauty is unforgettable.

3/12/2011 - jkoenen wrote: 96 pointsDreamtasting #2 (Restaurant de Watermolen, Kasterlee): (*, open label) Just a minimal hint of petrol on the nose which also showed dried apricots, pistache, honey, hay, wax, smoke and sugar-pecans. On palate this kaleidoscope of nuances continued... cumin, shrimps, incence, Turkish delight and a whiff of nutty Oloroso. Full bodied wine which size increases during aeration (!). The endless dry and clean aftertaste has brisk acidity which is so enduring, it's difficult to grasp. 19/20

1905 Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de LalandePauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/2/2014 - johnh1001 wrote: 97 pointsAn Evening at Bern's (Tampa): I have this wine listed as 1905 Pichon Lalande, but that is technically not correct. This is just Pichon because the two Chateaux had not been split up yet. That said, this was definitely more Pichon Baron in character than Lalande. A fresh and thrilling nose of dark fruit, asphalt, tar and leather soared from the glass. Absolutely thrilling palate that matched the nose. What was so amazing with all of these wines was the freshness. Super glossy texture and a long, silky finish. Just amazing.

9/18/2011 - randyjc wrote: 97 pointsI have no frame of reference for this wine though for some odd reason it puts me in mind of the Raul Perez Ultreia. Not because they are similar wines. They are not. Because they are so different and compelling. Really? Mostly Garnacha? An intensely concentrated wine,sweet spicy, racy sexiness struggling to be elegant. Gorgeous aromatics of overripe sweet red fruit. Lush, deep black and red fruit flavors. Long evolving finish. This wine is difficult to describe. Haunting. An experience. Just to put this in perspective, the other two wines this night were an 01 Quilceda Creek and an 04 Shafer Hillside Select. And this wine drew remarkable attention as I just kept going back to it, choosing it to end the night.

12/26/2017 - randyjc wrote: 95 pointsA remarkable wine - generously brought to Christmas dinner by a friend. Big wine - spicy black both on the nose and in the mouth. In the mouth, though dominated by black fruit there is some red fruit but not as much as I anticipated given the high percentage of Garnacha. Strong, intriguing minerality, finishing with blackberries, prunes, and smoky espresso. A towering wine that just draws you in. Still with much life ahead of it.

11/1/2005 - dcwino wrote: 99 pointsIt seems like 1982 but even younger. Still opaque and unyielding. Strong dark fruit nose, in particular cassis also very inky nose. Even at this age, licorice. Adam had more patient than I but I would love to have a bottle by myself one day and see how the wine evolves. IMO, when with a right provenance, this will drink well for another 50+ years.

2/18/2020 - PaulusLoZebra Likes this wine: 98 pointsDecanted and served, it surprised me with a big, piercing aromatic profile right away, and that grew bigger for the next 30 minutes. The tremendous perfume of white fruit, flowers and citrus was followed by zippy, sappy acidity, a beguiling slight hint of botrytis or something similarly complex and spicy, with a long, long and cristalline finish.Magnificent.

2003 Château Lafite RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/9/2013 - NostraBacchus Likes this wine: 98 pointsTasted blind. Very classy nose of dark fruit (blackberries, black cherries, black currant/cassis), some earth/barnyard, graphite and some flowers. Hits the palate with very complex flavors and a medium-full body. There is medium-high tannin (unusually silky for 2003) and a medium+ acidity adding beautiful freshness. The heat of vintage is not recognizable at all. Overall a very soft, accessible and elegant Lafite that was really amazing to drink. I loved it!

5/28/2020 - KoalaHK wrote: NRDrunk ar Arbor Hong Kong - A truly spectacular bottle of this wine. In my limited experience with DRC Monty I have found them to be particularly inconsistent. However, when they hit the high notes you see what all the fuss is about and this one was singing like Pavarotti. The beguiling nose initially leads you to expect a more reductive wine but the palate confirms otherwise. Near perfect balance of acid and fruit followed by a finish that may still be there as I write this note! An extraordinary wine. (Bottle 381)

11/20/2018 - JWG wrote: 96 pointsWhat a winner. Has the most beautiful tar nose and nebbiolo fruit aroma. It took only minutes for this to come out of a tight condition upon opening, revealing the tarry component I only remember experiencing when doing taste tests of Barolos back in the 1980's before the modern approach to Barolo started to take hold. This wine is "tradizione" not just in the sense of being vinified like the old barolos of the 60's and 70's, but is in fact vinified in the only traditional method of the time. It has the intense nose from that time, along with palate notes of earth, dark fruit, and a great acidic backbone. There is even a bit of funk in the background reminiscent of the more rustic barolo methods before the modern era did so much good for the area, though also causing some loss of character. This bottle has an amazing QPR.
