2001 Château Cos d'EstournelSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/20/2024 - Willi Vinotti Likes this wine: 93 pointsI had my issues with bottle quality and cork consistency some years ago, but the remaining bottles Of this 2001 are now getting better and better. This one again a step up, with tannins now starting to be fully melted, succulent salinity outbalancing the ripe sweetness of this classic St estephe and spice and forest floor notes making the bed for a lingering finale. Great wine in the right place at the moment. An hour of decant benefits the wine. |

1/28/2024 - Willi Vinotti wrote: 94 pointsA very fishy looking bottle from auction. My case still pristine I thought, well you know , let’s try the new one. Label looked like it spend time in a submarine but cork was perfect. And then that wine … i sure have a problem with quite some 2005, but certainly not this one! Not muted or reductive, just plain explosion of classic Bordeaux, nicely balanced cabernet and merlot, all ripe to perfection, and sublime poise, with melted but vibrant tannins, superbe flow, crispy fruit on blackberry, cloves allspice and, do i really say that, banana…

2005 Louis Jadot EchezeauxEchezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
6/24/2023 - Willi Vinotti Likes this wine: 88 pointsOk, nice. Super closed. Used aveine aerator, nice results opening this beast a bit more. Did not see any immediate pleasure without it and saw some light at the end of the tunnel after using it. I need to say that there is absolutely no pint buying these wines for the current price point (250eur). Strictly speaking a cerebral wine, interesting maybe, but not worth the effort. 2005 anyhow not a target for auction buy, this echezeau is in the category of other burgundies that have potential, but also a potential to never show up.

2021 Claudia Ferrero Rosso di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
9/12/2023 - Willi Vinotti Likes this wine: 92 pointsWhat a wonderful, plain wine. No added pieces, no chemistry, just the fine balance of Claudia Ferrero wines, slightly on the smoky, garrigue side with plenty of red fruit, complemented by earthy notes. A dream of a Rosso.

2020 Château Haut-MarbuzetSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/23/2023 - Willi Vinotti Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis is a very good Haut Marbuzet, it took long time to open, and at this stage it started to fully sing two days after opening. Before, it did not seem to be very well together and was quite edgy and hard. After that, the wine showed very nice and typical aromatics, some cherry, blackberry, tobacco and coffee notes all nicely layered and medium long.

2015 Valdicava Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
1/15/2023 - Willi Vinotti Likes this wine: 88 pointsA nice bottle in a good restaurant. Though not mind boggling or even close to what Brunello can deliver. Relatively tannic for the year, and not that aromatic as the best bottles are in this vintage. Aromatically not a supremely intense effort. But still, nice to drink, opening up in the glass and a valuable food companion.

1990 Château Grand MayneSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/14/2019 - Willi Vinotti Likes this wine: 97 pointsThis is now becoming awesome. An outstanding smoothness, velvety tannins, still ambitious fruit and wonderful plush length, a st Emilion far beyond expectations. The length and expression is just a tribute to the exceptional vintage. Smokiness and fruit, earthiness and minerality are just so spot on right now! Marvelous.

2010 Argiano Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
1/4/2022 - madvitale Does not like this wine: 75 pointsThere may have been something 'off' with this bottle, as when I opened it, the end of the cork had an odd, grey color and felt slimy. We decanted it for about 2 hours. The aroma seemed ok, but the flavor, if you could call it such, was acerbic at best. Not totally undrinkable, but little to recommend it. I waited several days, trying it again each day. No real change. I have one more bottle. Hopefully, that will be the experience I paid for.

2000 Château Léoville Las CasesSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/14/2021 - ggroebli Likes this wine: 97 pointsAlles was man sich von einem Reifen Bordeaux wünscht. Sehr intensive, komplexe Nase mit ersten tertiären Noten. Perfekt eingebundene Tanine und Säure. Einnehmend und elegant trotz männlicher Kräfte. Zeder, Graphite, blaue Früchte. Fast Pauillac-like. Extrem langer Abgang, in Wellen kommend.

2001 Château Clos de SarpeSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/21/2021 - djhammond Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis seems to be a wine of contrasting opions with some people loving it with others luke warm. I am definitely in the former camp and think it is living up to the initial plaudits at release. The last 8 months has seen it really move into its drinking window, and this is now drinking with a couple of hours in the decanter. The nose is tremendous and deeply aromatic and sensuous packed with ripe red cherry and red berry fruits with additional floral notes. The palate is deep with a rounded mouthfeel, with the tannin resolved. The finish is lengthy, but there are still astringent notes at the tail-end, and to be honest is the only barrier to giving this an extra point or two. 94+

2019 Château Carbonnieux BlancPessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
3/15/2021 - Willi Vinotti Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis blend of Sauvignon and semillon is a classic white pessac, with tons of white fruit, mango and pineapple, minerals, flint stone and some seaweed. Absolutely delicious at this price point, a classic not to be missed. Give it an hour of air time before drinking, it just develops so nicely after this. Enjoy!

7/3/2021 - Willi Vinotti Likes this wine: 93 pointsComing well together now. Drinking alongside Haut Marbuzet 1998, it shows tremendous youth and potential to be kept decades in the cellar. though approachable and drinking nicely with food now.

2005 Château Cos d'EstournelSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
6/23/2021 - Jeff Leve wrote: 97 pointsYouthful, deep, rich and powerful, the wine is full-bodied, intense, aromatic, rich, lush, long and youthful. The spicy, ripe fruits taste and feel great as they fill your palate. However, it is important to note that the wine requires another 3-5 years in the cellar before it fills out, softens and really comes into its own.
