2006 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet

Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay more

7/17/2016 - sjwshiraz wrote: NR

Summer 2016. A travesty of a Chevalier. Too fat and lacking definition. Also, the colour is worryingly dark. What is wrong with Leflaive nowadays ?

A joy to drink. A vibrant brick red color. A nose of sour plum and cherry. A sensuous palate of sweet fruit bolstered by refreshing acidity and a touch of blood orange marmalade at the end.

2009 Jean-François Ganevat Côtes du Jura Cuvée Marguerite

Melon à Queue Rouge, Chardonnay more

Very exciting wine from a rare clone of Chardonnay. This reminded me of a perfect Japanese musk melon, wrapped up in a flinty coating.

1985 Salon Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut

Chardonnay more

7/22/2016 - sjwshiraz wrote: NR

Summer 2016. Drank at Noves. Drank alongside a perfect 1982 vintage Krug. This suffered in comparison. Perhaps I'm unlucky, but I never seem to have earth shattering bottles of old Salon (past 1995 and 1996 which are for me benchmark)

7/21/2016 - sjwshiraz wrote: NR

Summer 2016. Drank at Baumaniere. The last bottle served at dinner. A very strikingly dark colour and an almost too sweet nose of damson. With air, this calmed down and offered up lovely leather saddle, pepper and rose hints. I prefer La Chapelle in 67 but this was an intriguing counterpoint.

Ethereal pinot. Developed and added weight over three hiurs. Minimalist signature allows a beautiful terroir to express itself. Great winemaking from a potentially wonderful site

Still needs a few years. A big wine, slightly yeasty. This blew off after 24 hours but the wine is still a bit clumsy and unformed. Wait 5 years

Very black fruited, roasted and quite spirity. This, allied to the raw, green oak makes it very difficult to enjoy.

1991 Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie Côte Brune

Syrah more

12/13/2011 - sjwshiraz wrote: NR

Drunk at Otto e Mezzo in HK (a newly minted *** Michelin).

At first a very mute nose, showing little, so decanted for 1 hour. Colour opaque crimson/ black with little sign of any age. After air, a huge explosion of fruit from the glass - blackcurrants, blackberries mixed with bacon fat, white pepper and hint of very dark chocolate. Th palate is quite silky but the intensity of fruit overlays a tannic core. Surprisingly rich and polished even for a Jamet, quite luxurious compared his normal more animal style. This has the bones and stuffing to keep going for a very long time. Brilliant today and will only get better. 11 more bottles to go....

Last drunk in 2011 and it was pretty close to perfection then....well it’s now even closer ! A brilliant showing and possibly the finest ‘traditional’ Côte Rôtie I’ve tried.

1/27/2012 - sjwshiraz wrote: NR

Bought in Kuala Lumpur (amazingly) and drunk the same day with Raymond. A surprisingly open Jamet. Quite rich, lacking the astringency which often marks younger Jamets. At its best after 3 hours in the decanter by which time it is more Cote Rotie and less syrah. Extremely good. I will buy the rest of the case tomorrow.
