2017 Domaine Dujac Morey St. DenisPinot Noir more |
2/21/2024 - RaggaMat wrote: 88 pointsFirst time trying this, one glass out of coravin, drunk over a couple of hours. Tastes a little astringent and the acidity is noticeable. Some fruit in the background. I think the potential is there but perhaps just not ready yet. I'll try decanting the rest of the bottle for longer to see if it opens up. |

2012 Maison Albert Bichot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Malconsorts Domaine du Clos FrantinPinot Noir more |
2/17/2024 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 92 pointsFirst of a six pack. PnP but drank over several hours and it gained in complexity. Pretty aromatics, red fruited, spicy and airy. Decent structure and texture. The tannins are still a little chewy and not quite integrated yet. This is definitely open for business but I suspect will get quite a bit better. |

2005 Domaine Bruno Clair Chambolle-Musigny Les VéroillesPinot Noir more |
2/1/2024 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 92 pointsLast of three bottles. Drinking really well now. Fruit flavours are more black fruit and a little bit of spice on the end. Tannins nicely integrated. Grippy acidic backbone and decent finish. |

2013 Littorai Pinot Noir Cerise VineyardAnderson Valley more |
12/22/2023 - RaggaMat wrote: 96 pointsSecond of two bottles (sadly the last). It was reserved at first but opened up in the glass to become a near perfect pinot with a just stunning combo of primary and developing flavours, and with all the elements in beautiful balance. One of my guests said it was the best pinot he'd ever tried! If you have any of these I recommend trying one. |

5/8/2023 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 89 pointsRipe, oaky and a little spicey. Excellent concentration. All the ingredients are there and it probably improves with time when everything integrates better. |

2016 Jean Noel Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la MaltroieChardonnay more |
4/8/2023 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 93 pointsStruggled a bit in the past with this wine, but this one is excellent today. It's just starting to develop some more aged flavours, but is retaining a freshness with lovely crisp acidity. Intense and long. I think it's right at it's peak now. |

2008 Massolino Barolo ParussiNebbiolo more |
4/10/2022 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 92 pointsBought at the winery many years ago. Pleased I waited until now to open it as the wine is showing all the complexity of flavours that I like from Nebbiolo. No doubt it will continue evolving for many more years. Right now it has that lovely combination of fruit flavours, both black and red, as well as some signs of maturity. Tannins are still noticeable but well on their way to being fully integrated. It needed 10-20 mins in the decanter to open up and was still going strong on day 2. |

2017 Samuel Billaud Chablis 1er Cru Séchet Vieilles VignesChardonnay more |
5/9/2021 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 90 pointsDefinitely open for business. Crisp, stony, salty, with an attractive ripeness too. Lemon, honey flavours on the end. Bought this at the estate. Can't remember what I paid but not very much. |

2014 Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso PrePhylloxera La Vigna di Don PeppinoEtna DOC Nerello Blend, Nerello Mascalese more |
5/3/2021 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 92 pointsBeautiful aromatics, mix of berries and florals (after a little aeration). Really very fine, balanced with good length. Just a little heat on the finish. Tannins still noticeable. I suspect it's not showing all its capable of yet although still a lovely wine. Try again in a few years. |

2010 Domaine Jean Chauvenet Nuits St. Georges Les LavièresPinot Noir more |
5/1/2021 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 91 pointsA good example here of why it sometimes pays to be patient with Burgundy. On opening it was difficult to drink, tight, not much pleasure. Started to soften up a little after 4 hours. But on day 2 - after 24 hours in the fridge - wow, what a difference, now there is red fruit, stony freshness, vibrant acidity, expansive on the finish. Tannins still showing somewhat so will wait a few years to try my other bottle. |

2010 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les CaillesPinot Noir more |
2/15/2021 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 91 pointsClearly some age from the appearance. More black fruited, some spicy complexity, fine almost dusty like tannins and bracing refreshing acidity. This was surprisingly evolved already although should still last for a long time. |

2013 Domaine Rossignol Trapet ChambertinChambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
2/4/2021 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 93 pointsFirst of a case. Decanted and drunk over the course of six hours. Red currant and some background spice on the nose. Medium, almost light bodied, but this is deceptive as there is a mass of concentration of flavour. Black cherry, spicy, savoury. Really lovely balance here, elegant and very long. Definitely developed complexity after a few hours in the decanter. This is drinking well now, which wasnt the case for the 2012 I tried last year. Pleased I've got a few more of these. |

2017 Maison Albert Bichot Vosne-Romanée Domaine du Clos FrantinPinot Noir more |
2/1/2021 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 90 pointsFirst from a case of six. Great balance of red cherry, raspberry, background spice and fresh acidity. Not particularly complex but just lovely to drink and surprisingly long too. No doubt it will get better with time but based on tonight's showing I think I might be drinking most of my bottles on the young side. |

2010 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques Vieille VignePinot Noir more |
12/16/2020 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 94 pointsHad this a few days ago, the first of my three bottles. It didn't disappoint. Great fruit concentration, juicy with lovely aromatics. I was worried it might be closed but it was showing well (after an hour or two in the decanter). Held it's own alongside Clos de Tart 2005 and Rousseau Charmes 2005. Try again in 5+ years. |

2012 Domaine Rossignol Trapet ChambertinChambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
4/10/2020 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 92 pointsDrunk over two days without decanting. On the first day, it was showing lovely fresh aromatics but the palate seemed a bit disjointed - all the elements for a great wine were present but somehow they just didn't come together to create something more than the sum of the parts. This changed on the second day when there was a lot more complexity - rich dark cherry flavour, fine tannins, fresh acidity and very long. Great potential - I think it needs a while before it will show it's best. Will try again in a few years. |

2010 Château d'AngludetMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/29/2020 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 90 pointsDark, almost purple. Brambly berry like aroma. Black fruited, ripe black cherry and blackcurrent. Middle weight, well balanced with crisp acidity. Tannins not fully integrated yet but it's still lovely to drink. Punches above its weight. Will keep my other two bottles for a few years. |

2011 Ridge Monte BelloSanta Cruz Mountains Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/14/2020 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 93 pointsComplex aromas comprising blackberry, fresh bilberry, leather, tobacco and black liquorice. Darker fruit profile on the palate. Medium body with fine tannins which are surprisingly well integrated and only really noticeable on the finish. As usual with this wine, the acidity is high and the finish long. Should last for many years but definitely worth trying now as its showing a complex combo of primary and secondary flavours. |

2012 Dönnhoff Schloßböckelheimer Felsenberg Riesling SpätleseNahe more |
2/9/2020 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 89 pointsA bit spritzy on opening. After an hour or so in the glass, it showed sweet lime and apple with a classic stoney Riesling backbone of acidity. Paired very well with a moderately spiced Indian dal.. Should continue to evolve for many years. |

2017 Domaine Coquard Loison-Fleurot BourgognePinot Noir more |
2/9/2020 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 88 pointsFresh raspberry and red cherry. More body than most Bourgognes, juicy and satisfying. It has just enough acidity to keep me coming back for more. |

2011 Domaine de Montille Volnay 1er Cru TaillepiedsPinot Noir more |
2/9/2020 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 89 pointsNeeded about an hour to open up aromatically. A pleasant, if not particularly complex, aroma of red cherry, raspberry and a slight leafiness. On the palate, the fruit flavors are more sour and a little green, although there is a charming sensual texture, soft and lightish body with a savouriness on the end that is also showing a bit of green pepper which I have certainly noticed in other 2011s. I don’t remember liking this much when I last had it a few years ago. This outing is certainly an improvement, although I’m still not totally sure if or when it will all come together. Perhaps the greenness will integrate better with tertiary notes once it has a a bit more age. I’ll hold the rest of my bottles for a few more years and keep my fingers crossed. |

2010 Domaine Rossignol Trapet Latricières-ChambertinLatricières-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
1/31/2020 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 94 pointsDid not decant and drunk over 2.5 hours. Pale ruby. Fragrant red fruit aromas which evolved to become more stemmy and meaty after a while in the glass. Fresh, vibrant acidity, like crushed rocks. Fine tannins that still need some more time to settle. Concentrated black cherry with a lick of spice on the end. Great persistence. Lovely wine, very pleased I've got a few more of these. |

2010 Château La LaguneHaut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/29/2020 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 92 pointsFrom Coravin with 30 mins aeration in the glass. Elegant aromatic profile showing blackberry, black cherry and tea leaf. Medium body with grainy, mouth coating tannins that still need more time to integrate. Juicy black fruit on the surprisingly long finish. All is in balance here. Try again in a few years. Pleased I've got a few more of these. |

2005 Domaine de Montille Pommard 1er Cru Les PèzerollesPinot Noir more |
1/27/2020 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 93 pointsAs with my previous bottles, this benefited enormously from a little aeration. On opening it was shy on the nose and a bit simple on the palate. After half an hour or so it had blossomed into a wonderfully fragrant, elegant and savoury wine. Black cherry and raspberry with some background spice, a sensual texture with that ethereal quality sometimes found in the wines of Montille. The best (and sadly the last) of my four bottles. |

2010 Domaine Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St. JacquesPinot Noir more |
1/25/2020 - RaggaMat wrote: 90 pointsDeep garnet. Pleasantly fragrant but not especially complex or powerful. Red and black fruits, still some tannin and a bit of oak showing. Savoury and persistent on the finish. I think this has the raw material to be a lot better in time but is not at its best right now. |

2005 Château Léoville Barton La Réserve de Léoville BartonSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/12/2020 - RaggaMat Likes this wine: 90 pointsCassis, pencil shavings, medium body, retaining a savoury freshness despite its age. Tannins are still noticeable on the end and a little bit drying. Enjoyable, not especially complex and drinking well now. |
