NV Déhu Père & Fils Champagne Cuvée La Rue des Noyers Extra BrutPinot Meunier more |
12/17/2023 - palfr2 wrote: NRFeb 2021 disgorgement and 2016 Base, 100% Meunier - the austerity of a zero dosage is very evident so it is a food companion, today paired with dover sole, steamed potatoes and parsley. Mirabelle plum, baked apples and oxidative notes mostly on the nose. The mousse is both fine beaded and persistent. A serious Meunier for the table. |

4/16/2024 - rocknroller wrote: 94 pointsHeidi's Group: Oh My! (St. Genevieve, Mpls, MN): Light medium gold color. Drank a glass over 2 hours. It's been about 3 years since we last had this. Tonight's bottle shows the evolution nicely as this takes on more weight and richness now. Dense, full bodied and round, juicy fruits, orange and more citrus, touches of pineapple, subtle lemon cream, honeyed, loads of oyster shell and ocean minerality. Clearly shows it grand cru power and class. Excellent, and maybe even better in it's brighter youth?

2009 Egly-Ouriet Champagne Grand Cru Brut MillésiméChampagne Blend more |
3/23/2024 - sirpat00 wrote: 97 pointsTasted at a social event. Amazing palate with layers , density and wight to it. Aromas are a harmonious melody of apple and pear fruit, burned sugar, yeast, flour and bakery notes as well as herbal complexity. The palate is broad adding distinct caramel flavor. Linear acidity leading into an endless finish with a citric climax after 1.5 minutes. Compared to 2009 and 2013 this came across more fresh in terms of aromas with fewer oxidative notes. But overall I would see this on a par with those outstanding vintages.

2/28/2024 - palfr2 wrote: NRDinner at home with friends - Very reductive style of Champagne and quality underlying material. I let this warm excessively unfortunately to express its full qualities. On the first impressions only this is a great Dom. It is no longer a wine I am chasing though for cellaring as the value is not obvious versus the greater singularity offered by Grower Champagnes.

1/13/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 94 pointsConsistent to my last tasting. Beguiling nose, jumps from the glass with cured meat, red fruit, rose petals, vanilla and cedar, like in the best of Burgs. The palate is lighter than in the 2010 but not diluted. Simply a wonderful, elegant Burg.

2/18/2024 - acyso wrote: 95 pointsOne last round at Jade Court (Chicago, IL): From magnum. Great showing of a wine that I've loved for quite a while. It's a lot more approachable right now than the dark and intense 2015, with an effusive nose of smoke, slight saline olive notes, and plenty of black fruit. The palate isn't overbearingly tannic, and there's more of a lightness thanks to the acidity here. The fruit is mostly black with a hint of red, but this is surprisingly drinkable (even out of large-format) right now, though there is of course still plenty of potential.

2013 Roberto Voerzio Langhe Nebbiolo DisanfrancescoLanghe DOC more |
2/3/2024 - ChristP Likes this wine: 92 pointsI used two thirds of the bottle to make sauce for Lamb stew. The remainder I enjoyed with the stew after it had been opened for 24 hours. When first opened the bottle the day before, I tried a small glass and was under the impression that the wine had lost weight over the years. But the following day it was back to being like a baby Barolo again. How amazing is that? It must be a mark of the stellar 2013 vintage and the skill of the wine maker. I have a couple of bottles left,.and it will be interesting to see where it goes from here. Regardless, fantastic QPR!

2002 Piper-Heidsieck Champagne Cuvée RareChampagne Blend more |
1/23/2024 - palfr2 wrote: NRPall Mall 67 Singapore - ok colour me very surprised! I came into this with lots of positive prejudice having tasted the '08 rendition and having heard how the '02 was potentially even superior. The nose is quite something I concede. What I cannot quite shake off is the honeyed sensation that I experience from start to finish. As a good friend of mine and most competent taster puts "you need to recalibrate your palate when going from Grower style to Grandes Maisons/Houses style". This is very true. In a long drinking streak of houses this may stand out. However the effortless balance of a Bonville Belles Voyes the night before is still etched in my mind. Dosage/sweetness aside this is a mightily fine Champagne

11/29/2023 - palfr2 wrote: NRPall Mall 67 Singapore. I love the medium-bodied+ package of this. Some mushrooms, mould , damp cellar on the nose but in a filigreed way. Good acidity. Tannins with a bit of bite on the finish. It is classic, it is old world, 13% ABV. I understand that is "pre-aged" being a 2001 released to the market only a few years ago. Feels like an old-school Merlot.

2006 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques Vieille VignePinot Noir more |
12/9/2023 - melvinyeowq wrote: 92 pointsTop 1ers for AK's birthday: In the flight of the first four wines, there were 3 Vosnes and 1 Gevrey. Most felt that the Cathiard was the Gevrey but the minority (including myself) said that this had to be the Gevrey since it was the outlier stylistically. Slightly cloudy in appearance, especially compared to the three Vosnes that were brilliant ruby red in colour. Older style of Fourrier with more earthy and rustic notes before he transitioned to the high-toned, less dense style of today. Guessed ‘08 based on the colour and high acidity. Quite integrated and resolved but the fruit did become more expressive with air.

1982 Château TalbotSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/18/2023 - JoeMe Likes this wine: 93 pointsFound this in my dad’s cellar when visiting my parent’s house in Germany and convinced him to open this bottle. Stored in a (too) cold cellar for 30 years. A ton of mold underneath below the capsule. The cork almost fully soaked, yet the wine has no flaws whatsoever. An astonishing nose, a real wow factor to me here. Black currant, blackberry, bond fire smoke and celery root. Very elegant with much of the same fruit on the palate, black currant on the forefront and getting cherry here as well. Soft tannins, great balance. At peak and the fruit is still going strong. A special experience to me this 41 year old wine from a historically great vintage.

1986 Château TalbotSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/28/2023 - SpenceP wrote: 96 pointsWhat a magnificent wine! The cork was in frightening shape--dried out and crumbly (the Durand was essential)--but the wine was unfazed. Immediately after opening, the wine was vividly immediate and present, with plums, leather, cedar, and autumn forest, followed by an extremely long aftertaste, dominated at first by cedar with a touch of soy sauce, but eventually ending on a note of plums. Over the course of the next hour and a half, strawberries, cocoa, graphite, blackberries, black olives, black pepper, black tea, and rare steak all gradually emerged. Just stunning! If I were going purely by the wine itself, I'd say there was no hurry at all. But because of the horrendous condition of the corks (this is the third time I've tasted this wine, and the corks were appalling all three times), I'd suggest drinking these as soon as is convenient. Previously tasted 2/15/23 and 9/22/20. [Tasted over two hours from the Jancis Robinson glass. I gave the bottle more than a week upright to let the sediment settle out.]

It's so etheral in its fruit presence with wonderful acidity and a fine line of the sweetest delicate red fruit. The mouthfeel of the wine is so svelte and beautiful. THe nose is filled with that same fresh picked cherry note that just effortlessly rises out of the glass. My goodness that was good.

NV Jacques Selosse InitialChampagne Grand Cru Chardonnay more |
9/23/2023 - palfr2 Likes this wine: NRDisgorged 2021. Golden colour. The balance and intensity are top drawer. Supremely sapid and saline on the finish. There is a handful ot growers providing the complete package of palate presence, flavour intensity, salinity. Selosse is one of them but that experience is available for less coin with the others. It is my 3rd experience of this cuvee and with the strong Selosse imprint (read masterfully managed oxidative notes) this strays a lot from a prototypical Blanc de Blancs

9/21/2023 - philmtl Likes this wine: NRIf you like your Claret with fruit this is not for you. Very nice nose of old leather, earth, cigar tobacco and a hint of smokiness. It’s basically all tertiary, no fruit left. But sweet Jesus is the nose intoxicating. The palate is very much alive and all savory: pyrazines, earth, root vegetables and leather. Still alive with medium acidity, fine grained integrated tannins and smooth finish. We had this with a nice saignant piece of beef and peppercorn sauce. Joy.

4/29/2024 1:42:00 AM - I surmise you can declare as Extra Brut and still do zero doasge as Extra Brut is essentially a range that starts at zero dosage up to 3 I believe.
