2014 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod BourgognePinot Noir more |
7/8/2023 - chibaken wrote: 92 pointsExcellent concentration here, fuzzy spicy fruit, muddy almost but in a good way, and firm but resolved tannins. Superlative for Bourgogne level. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2017 Domaine Gaston et Pierre Ravaut Ladoix 1er Cru Les Basses MourottesPinot Noir more |
5/4/2023 - chibaken wrote: 92 pointsEnd of a 3 year dalliance with Ravaut's 2017 and while the previous showing was flat, this is superb - savoury and long. So unlike the 2018s. Chapeau for the journey, best valued Burgundy of the last 5 years. |

2008 Domaine Pichard MadiranTannat Blend, Tannat more |
4/20/2023 - chibaken wrote: 90 pointsFully mature, dark, meaty, truffly and dry, but retaining good freshness. Could go on years. Really very good. Add duck for full effect. |

4/8/2023 - chibaken wrote: 91 pointsMuch better than the last showing, leaner, fresher, more like the 2017. Pound for pound excellence |

4/5/2023 - chibaken wrote: 91 pointsWell balance, on the sweeter side even for 8%, but nice line of orange zest acididy. Hint of ginger and honey in the sweetness. A fragrant soft pillow |

2019 Guilhem et Jean-Hugues Goisot Bourgogne Côtes d'Auxerre Corps de Garde RougePinot Noir more |
4/1/2023 - chibaken wrote: 92 pointsThe purity of fruit here is sensational for the price. Fresh, fragrant, juicy, and good grip. As expected from 2019 it comes in at 14%, a level that's arguably too hot, from but feels degrees lower thankfully. Much better than the Bourgogne (unlike 2017). As noted by others, really rather thrilling. |

3/31/2023 - chibaken wrote: 90 pointsRich, touch of oak, citrus (orange) pith and long grippy minerality. Very good |

2021 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling KabinettNahe more |
2/9/2023 - chibaken wrote: 91 pointsJucious peach, acidity on the edge but near perfect. Very long and grippy. Could do with more time if patient |

2021 Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun) Beaujolais BlancChardonnay more |
2/2/2023 - chibaken wrote: 91 pointsThis is really great, and for no money. Saline, lemon citrus, creamy, with a hint of white stone fruit. But what steals it is the fabulous mid-palatte texture it presents at this level. Better than any Maconnais I've had last 12 mths, or indeed entry level Bourgogne. |

2020 Jean-Marc Burgaud Morgon Grands CrasGamay more |
1/24/2023 - chibaken wrote: 89 pointsInky sweet blackcurrant and good tight structure. Like most Burgaud wines I've had there's a hint of bubble gum from carbonic maceration, though less than previous. I drink Beaujolais when I can't afford Burgundy, and while some, particularly in 2021, are more than a match at Bourgogne level, this is almost old school cru beuj. Decent. |

1/20/2023 - chibaken wrote: 90 pointsSimilar notes to the 2020, less of the grapefruit pith, but remains full and tight. Superb for the price. |

2016 Château Cap l'OusteauHaut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/14/2023 - chibaken wrote: 91 pointsI'm scoring this so highly because this presents the real essence of left-bank claret at an unbelievably low price. Cedar, mint, rich and tannic. Very gluggable and a steal. |

NV Williams & Humbert Jerez-Xérès-Sherry As You Like It AmontilladoPalomino Fino more |
12/30/2022 - chibaken wrote: 96 pointsStellar complexity. Burnt orange, nuts, and trans-Siberian length. Better as anything when paired with a ripe Stichelton or Colsten Basset. A 30 year old masterpiece at under £30? Extraordinary really. |
