1991 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les PucellesChardonnay more |
4/26/2024 - cookiefiend wrote: NRWelp - this should have been opened a few years ago. The color was “zomg - I fcuked up”, the taste… “well - that’s a pleasant surprise”. It is - older. It is not corked or maderized, but it is heavy, rich, and not at its prime. It’s an older Audrey Hepburn - still elegant. |

8/27/2022 - cookiefiend Likes this wine: NRA lovely Chablis. Silky smooth, with a backbone of fine acid, hint of lemon and saline. This bottle was a gift in 2015 from a dear friend - thank you GG! |

2/12/2022 - cookiefiend wrote: 86 pointsOn the nose - a little butterscotch giving way to a faint coconut and a little ocean spray, no stone fruit, no flint or stone. On the palate it is pretty one dimensional, no front, mid, or back palate. On the palate - we got a splash of fruit that gave way to a saline finish that lingers. For me it is the finish -it paired well with a shashimi trout, smoked roe, and a sesame seed cracker as well. |

2/6/2022 - cookiefiend Does not like this wine: NRWhile not ‘flawed’, it was not pleasant. Murky in color, with a lot of fine particulate matter. A bit of a stewed fruit 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2/6/2022 - cookiefiend wrote: NRWhat a lovely wine. Silky, elegant. Very pretty on the nose (for me this is what Pinot Noir smells like), with raspberry and a bit of… uhm… deliciousness. Follows right in into the palate. Long finish, nice acidity. Yum. |

12/11/2021 - cookiefiend wrote: NREhhh…. At first - it was interesting - cherry, mushroom, forest. But, something was lacking. I thought maybe with food it will improve, it didn’t. So - long story short - it was not what I hoped for in a Grand Cru. |

I do really like it. It is an earthy/forest… rub-your-shoulders-in-it wine. Fabulous with a NYStrip - from two different purveyors - so I wasn’t biased. Totally would buy again. |

7/17/2021 - cookiefiend Does not like this wine: NREh... it is strange, and I'm not sure what to think about it. I don't think it's corked, but perhaps cooked/maderized. Hopefully the other bottles are better |

4/15/2021 - cookiefiend wrote: NRWhat an extraordinary bottle of wine, opened apparently at the perfect time. Loaded with rich almost tropical fruit, but still had plenty of acid to keep it lifted and delicious. Had with pan seared grouper with a coconut curry sauce. |

2/24/2021 - cookiefiend Likes this wine: 91 pointsLovely and refreshing, a lemony zip, but also a bit of merengue creaminess. Not sweet, but not too tart either. Lingering finish, I’m very pleased with this. What a delightful gift from my Secret Santa! |

11/23/2020 - cookiefiend Likes this wine: NRGolden in color, light in body. Nose is very quiet/muted, maybe a hint of pear. It's delicious - not that I can really point out a specific flavor... other than that light pear. There is minerality/saline, and a wonderful acidity. Medium to long finish, along with that marvelous acid that lets it linger nicely. Excellent with French Onion soup. |

1997 Salon Champagne Blanc de Blancs BrutChardonnay more |
11/20/2020 - cookiefiend Likes this wine: NRA lovely lady. Pale straw in color, very fine bubbles - not many to see, but they are on the palate. It's a rich, honeyed taste and there is a slight spice. A very subtle and elegant Champagne. |

1971 Château TrotanoyPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/20/2020 - cookiefiend Likes this wine: NR49 years old - whoa! The cork was completely saturated, if we had not had a Durand we might not have gotten it out without making a mess. It's on its last legs (IMHO), but is still very enjoyable. There is forest floor, mushrooms, leather and dark chocolate. There's also a whiff of bret, but it is not unpleasant and lessened during the evening. Tannins are mostly resolved, there is still a bit of grip though, and the acid is still fine. A very fine old Bordeaux. |
