2015 Domaine Cosse Maisonneuve Cahors Les LaquetsMalbec more |
2/20/2021 - pjaines Likes this wine: NROh wow. Where did this one come from? Stupendously fragrant infused with a mineral spine chiselled from the hardest rock and layered on top with essence of fruit without every being fruity. This exists in a dimension where mineral, liquid and fruit all exist on multiple levels - at first there is tight tannins the red fruit, then a mineral kick then a touch of sweet black fruit. A wine of calmness and quite superb quality. |

9/29/2020 - Ara Kafafian Likes this wine: 94 pointsHold on a second, let me buy a case and when I return, I will complete this review. Ok, I’m back. Blind, dark purple, tar, ink, darkest of berries glass staining richness, full body, ending on a restrained as it’s too young finish. Just wow! Earlier this year, I had rated the top end cuvée La Marguerite 93 points which costed $88 CAD. I am rating the Laquets 94 points which costs less than half at $42 CAD so you decide which one to buy. I can’t recommend enough. It will last at least 20 years. A monster.

2/24/2023 - ccn Does not like this wine: 86 pointsSeverely marked by the pyrazines that have tiinsed so many 2004s. Starts out with residual dark fruit and mushrooms with some green bell pepper but quickly the tannins become so hard that it’s almost undrinkable — the wine shut down completely

11/19/2020 - KeithAkers wrote: 92 pointsDinner at Greenwood (Greenwood, Highland Park, IL): Nose: It took a little bit for this to fully open up, but as it did it was classic Cote-Rotie with dark red cherries, raspberries, black olives, violets, black pepper, licorice, tobacco, crushed rocks, and spice notes. There is excellent depth with the dark red fruits showing a youthful freshness to them.

7/25/2015 - ccn wrote: flawedPossible the bottle is off? Fairly lean, mature to declining, interesting minerality but little fruit and tea bag tannins. Strong metallic flavour ruins an otherwise okay but not amazing wine. lacks the depth of last two bottles.

2011 Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin La Princée BlancChardonnay more |
12/15/2014 - ccn wrote: 89 pointsNice concentration and richness, but the oak is too dominant and wood tannins close down the wine. Quite typical of Lamy wines in their use. I'd guess that the wine has enough richness to swallow the oak in 3-5 years -- wouldn't drink it before then.

2004 Château Grand-Puy DucassePauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/22/2014 - Magners Likes this wine: 92 pointsIn my opinion almost perfectly developed right now, still with freshness in the fruit, smooth tannins and well-integrated oak. I would say perfectly balanced. Very elegant and transparent (some would say watery) on the mid-palate as many 04s. Love it.

1995 Chateau MusarBekaa Valley Red Blend more |
2/26/2010 - Kirk Grant wrote: 94 points'02-'07 Bergström, '95-'97 Musar, and more in Maine (Kirk's Apartment): Pale ruby in the glass with scents of cedar, earth, tobacco, cranberries, pomegranate, saddle leather, raspberries, at the tail end there was a hint of clove and cement dust. In the mouth this light to medium bodied (depending on how long it had been in the decanter...it picked up weight with time open) wine bursts with a melange of red fruits, mushroom, a hint of cedar, and other earthy notes. This wine has always been a favorite of mine, despite the VA that is usually present, I find it gives this some character and in just the right amount adds to the intrigue of this wine.
