5/17/2017 - Renot wrote: 87 pointsVery, very tart at the outset, but mellowed with air. However, this is very much on the leaner side of Burgundy - the old school Burgundian nose was a plus. I hope this will integrate in the future. |

4/7/2017 - Renot wrote: flawedBased on how good this is purported to be, I have to assume it was flawed. Astringent and borderline undrinkable. Disappointing. First one of these was disappointing as well, but not as much. |

2008 Maison Champy Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles VignesPinot Noir more |
12/4/2016 - Renot wrote: 84 pointsLight with a good nose and a very pleasant old-world Pinot Noir funk. The extremely bitter finish, however, made an otherwise promising wine unpleasant to drink. Hoping the rest of my bottles do not share the latter trait. |

2000 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valleymore |
3/27/2016 - Renot wrote: 91 pointsVery good but on the back side of the curve IMHO. A lot to enjoy here, but the tannins have gone - so the structure to me was more akin to a good Cali merlot, and that made for a very fine drink. |

2002 Penfolds Shiraz St. HenriSouth Australia more |

2003 Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 407South Australia more |
8/24/2015 - Renot wrote: 86 pointsA bit astringent upon opening but opened up to be a decent wine - albeit shadow of its former self IMHO. Not bad, but this bottle showed its age - too raisiny. Wish I had opened it a few years ago. |

3/7/2015 - Renot wrote: 90 pointsLost this one in the cellar, but surprisingly very good. Initial strong nose of ripe olives (not pleasant), but that blew off in the first ten minutes to reveal a wine reminiscent of the northern Rhone that improved markedly over the next two hours. |

2/23/2015 - Renot wrote: 92 pointsStill very good, not showing the signs of age that I was expecting. It needed a little time in the glass to hit its stride, and was very enjoyably balanced when it did. |
