2009 Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun) Beaujolais Cuvée l'Ancien Vieilles VignesGamay more |
11/1/2010 - razmaspaz wrote: NROpened this on Saturday night and had a glass. Wasn't impressed. Acid overwhelmed the wine, and all that really came out was the mineral. Seemed to be completely devoid of any fruit to balance it out. Waited and drank again last night with chicken marsala, and it was much better. The acid was toned down by the food and overall the wine was much more balanced. I'm guessing this may be a bit closed up and will see what comes of it tonight. Do you find this review helpful?

1/24/2011 - razmaspaz wrote: NRUGC Chicago Bordeaux 2008 Vintage: back to a classic pessac, pencil lead, and cranberries leaps from the glass. Quite spectacular. tannins are present but soft and inviting. this is creamy and at the same time jammy |

1/24/2011 - razmaspaz wrote: NRUGC Chicago Bordeaux 2008 Vintage: not giving anything away on the nose. Spicy working to get blue/black fruit. Seductive in the mouth, a touch of acidity but not powerful tannin. reserved for the finish and its very fine |

2007 Gnarly Head Old Vine ZinfandelLodi more |
10/4/2010 - razmaspaz wrote: NRDecent for the price. Comparable to Dancing Bull. Doesn't really stand out with anything unique. Very concentrated dark fruit. Lots of candied flavors. Classic zinfandel nose. Again nothing distinguishing about it, but good for a daily drinker type wine. |

1/24/2011 - razmaspaz wrote: NRUGC Chicago Bordeaux 2008 Vintage: tannins are falling to the back as I taste. this is quite good. Sour cherry again, I think this is maybe indicitive of Margaux as they all seem to have it. |

2008 Château LascombesMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
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. |

1/24/2011 - razmaspaz wrote: NRUGC Chicago Bordeaux 2008 Vintage: just cheated and heard the winemaker say 75% cab franc. this was a shift from the first st emillions. I have to admit I'm not familiar here. Red fruit, very inviting but strange. very powerful in the mouth, quite memorable. |

2008 Château BeauregardPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/24/2011 - razmaspaz wrote: NRUGC Chicago Bordeaux 2008 Vintage: changing gears to pomerol. Still merlot based, heavy cab franc. Maybe the suffocating character wasn't the cab franc 'cause its not here. This is much softer and more shy on the nose. |

1/24/2011 - razmaspaz wrote: NRUGC Chicago Bordeaux 2008 Vintage: intriguing maybe mysterious nose. Powerful black fruit. pepper comes through on the nose. Tannin coats the teeth, but leaves the gums alone. |

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. |
