2000 Château Léoville BartonSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/13/2023 - Rieslingfan wrote: NRWorking on a “drink the good stuff” philosophy, I opened this for a Monday dinner with leftovers. Why not! Initially as stern as an angry nun teaching 8th graders, it mellowed out over two hours, though never became soft or cuddly. Instead it maintained a perfectly starched collar, dark tie, and well tailored suit level of elegance, with a warm smile and engaging banter. Honestly it carried the image of the late Anthony Barton. Classic Bordeaux, it showed all the aged tobacco, understated cassis fruit and firm tannins, even more than twenty years after what was at one time considered a “modern” vintage. It demanded a rare ribeye, but alas it was not to be. Still, this feels like a wine that is emerging into a mid-life stage, with ample substance to carry on for as long as necessary. Just be sure to dress for dinner. |

It's been almost 2 years since a rather shy bottle and looking back at my former notes, this time around the wine was a little more open for business. I really like this vintage for it's rich roundness while it manages to stay light on it's feet. The nose was beautiful and the texture great, but the wine is still almost primary (crazy at this age). I wish it showed more complexity which it gave hints of towards the end. it's going to be really hard to give this another 20 years. Patience is highly recommended....

12/20/2015 - fitzi wrote: NRThis is a pretty great wine. The first day, it was an almost odd composite of distincitive elements, each intriguing on its own merits: tannins that were stern but also zingy, freshening acidity, fruit that still conveyed a sense of lushness. Made me think of the early Picasso cubist paintings that are so well-organized, even though the immediate appearance is completely disjoint. Second day, the components marry up, and the wine is knock-out in both weight and content. Serious, even profound, and an incredible value, in the world of wine, at under $30.

10/30/2015 - capacious Likes this wine: 91 pointsA big wine, a bit more so than is my preference, and I'd advise those holding it to listen to the CT comments saying wait. Remarkably it's not fully ready. You get a sense there is more to come, the wine is still somewhat closed off, the tannins still a bit too much in charge until it arrives at a burgundy "forget the food and see and taste only me" moment

Developing well, tannins smoothed, nary a sign of green or barkiness, but fruit is still timid, so gives the impression of being closed. An accomanying taster suggested he'd give it another five years. It was also showing a green olive aroma that I found captivating, so I'm an optimist here.

Shows a touch of oxidation with mushrooms and a bit of sulfur. Lean and mean on the palate with the acidity run amok, though underneath there is some quince and lemon curd trying to make a go of it. I think Cliff said he decanted it a day, but it may have needed even more time. C+/C.

5/6/2013 - DaleW wrote: NR(375) Color is dark gold, there are some distinct oxidative notes on the nose. It actually improves a bit with air, but there are still some caramelly oxidative notes, mixed with the honey and quince. Good length, though. I enjoyed this by pretending it was 30 years old rather than 11.

Typical Clos du Bourg terroir on the finish. Utterly delicious, as it has been on pretty much every occasion over the past 2 years.

2002 Domaine Huet Vouvray Pétillant Réserve BrutChenin Blanc more |
7/8/2013 - Riccardo Malocchio wrote: 93 pointsThe cork released with an alarmingly soft sigh, but the wine was gorgeous, vigorous, seeming even a bit less matured than some of the prior notes. And given whispers of prem-ox affecting this vintage, this was reassuring for my only other bottle. Pitch-perfect Vouvray typicity, waxy and honeyed with a hint of cheesy pungency. More rich and broad than the '07 pétillant with a touch of sweetness that proved welcome against a wide array of sushi. Outstanding.
