2/22/2024 - danielk168 Likes this wine: 91 pointsbetter to keep a few more years, definitely still some heat on this one, very nice spice box and just the right amount of fruits but still a bit tannic. |

1/26/2024 - danielk168 Likes this wine: 91 pointstasted blind and not difficult to identify as a GSM blend but where? CDP was most cited but actually nobody got the AOC right, not surprising. Really spicy with very fine tannins and some hints of violet floral notes, very good indeed for drinking at this moment. |

12/9/2023 - danielk168 Likes this wine: 90 pointsOn its own I would have given it a higher score, however, it was drank after an Eric Morgat Chenin Blanc which was outstanding. So this became just quite good. |

12/9/2023 - danielk168 Likes this wine: 93 pointsDrank perhaps for the first time wines from this region worth tasting. A stunning wine, very well crafted and still tasted young and full of vigor. Well rounded but not overwhelming in any one area. Enjoyed every drop of this excellent wine. I belive it would age well too. |

5/28/2023 - danielk168 Likes this wine: 94 pointstasted blind, missed the vintage by 3 years and basically nailed the profile. Slight garnet but still hues of ruby, full of life indeed. Rather elegant and definitely a Grand Cru. Lots of mineral and a tad on the light side. Did not feel any oak at all. Very well made! |

2/21/2023 - danielk168 Likes this wine: 92 pointsan amazing bottle with lots of life still in it, I missed the vintage by 10 years as the color was vibrant and even some heat was detected. However, I nailed the Village because of the aroma profile. A classic Grand Cru and highly recommended, however, the market may not have amny of these left. |

2006 La Pèira en Damaisèla Terrasses du Larzac Las Flors de La PèiraRed Rhone Blend more |
2/21/2023 - danielk168 wrote: 91 pointsfully matured, started drinking at a rather low temp, around 20C and wine was very elegant, as the bottle reach room temp, which was about 25C, the alcohol was more obvious. Floral notes were observed at the lower temp. Tasted blind by 3 WSET wine lovers and all got it wrong, a very tricky wine indeed. |

2005 Conterno Fantino Barolo Sorì GinestraNebbiolo more |
9/12/2022 - danielk168 Likes this wine: 92 pointsclassic monforte dalba stuff, nearing its peak perhaps but still lots of life in it. Aroma is matured but can still find some fresh floral scent not all dried flowers. Fruit is somewhat lacking or rather hiding in the background. Lots of terrior stuff of woodiness, minerals and dried vegetation. Only one bottle, what a pity, this is really good stuff, bottle purchased in Hongkong in 2011. |

2002 Pommery Champagne Cuvée Louise BrutChampagne Blend more |
5/28/2022 - danielk168 Likes this wine: 91 pointsdrank it way too fast as with time it improved so much. But we have 3 more bottles to try so the first one goes faster is understandable. The impresssion is a younger wine, not a 20 years old. But with time, the complexity came through. A very fime bottle indeed! |

2004 Castello del Trebbio Chianti Rùfina Riserva LastricatoSangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
2/11/2022 - danielk168 Likes this wine: 92 pointsfully matured, tasted blind, using 3 difference galsses, 2 bdx 1 pinot, all performed well. Very fine and smooth tanins, although there is quantity of these, they were very fine and silky. A hint of red fruit but almost bordeaux like in profile, first guess right bank, 2nd guess Sangiovese blend. Highly recommeded for chianti lovers, great value. Almost forgot the signature floral scent, just lovely! |

12/14/2021 - danielk168 Likes this wine: 91 pointsAlthough my taste is moving towards more pinot in the blend and even 100% pinot, this bottle does give much pleasure. Sitting in a very nice place with a bit of everything, not exactly youthful but still packed some punch! |

1999 Château KirwanMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/6/2021 - danielk168 Likes this wine: 91 pointsThe rating is based on if you like fully matured wines, the tannis were very silky and not BDX like, guess 99 was not a great year. This bottle is certainly well matured and further aging would probably not improve it. 他特地布林带and quite hard to pinpoint the original as matured reds shared so many common characteristics. |

2000 Ojai Syrah Santa Barbara Countymore |
3/13/2021 - danielk168 Likes this wine: 91 pointstasted blind and completely fooled by the young color that showed, almost a tint of purple, this couldn't be more than 10-12 years right? Well, the joy of blind tasting! For a syrah, tannin were very fine and profile does not point to a new world variety, after 2 rounds, gave up! |

3/1/2021 - danielk168 wrote: 90 pointstasted blind, chardonnay for sure but where? At lower temperature, it was rather closed and almost thought as north as Chablis but as it warms up, became more oily and rounded, nuts and cream too, so back to the south. Guessed Montrachet 1st cru, well, close enough! |

2/14/2021 - danielk168 Likes this wine: 93 points2nd bottle, this time the tannin were silky, very matured and well balanced. Acidity OK but higher would be preferred. Lasted quite a few hours while using 2 different size of Burgundy glassware, both were suitable. Cork was in very dry state and literally fell to pieces on opening attempt, had to use a filter to salvage the bottle. |
