1996 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Clos VougeotClos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
6/7/2015 - Gobi wrote: 92 pointsSecondary aromas dominate the nose with earthiness, old wood varnish, underbrush, dust, iron wrapped around dark cherries, raspberries, old leather, licorice, smoked bacon, herbs, and exotic spices. A light bodied wine packed with flavor showing sour cherries, raspberries on entry, the midpalate reveals dark chocolate, licorice, and mouth searing acidity. The finish is of moderate length with woody flavors, herbs, black pepper, and chewy tannins. This wine is at its peak, the fruit is starting to fade, drink up soon! |

4/26/2015 - Gobi wrote: 93 pointsMusty feral aromas at first that dissipate quickly revealing blackberries, kirsch, garrigue, lavender, licorice, black olives, roasted coffee, and black pepper. Delicious on the palate with sweet dark fruit flavors on entry, a reserved midpalate which reveals dark cherries, dark chocolate, licorice, and roasted coffee. The flavors remain seamlessly on the palate to the end where notes of roasted meats, black pepper, coarse rustic tannin's emerge. Very old world in style, quite earthy and slight brett, but still filled with delicious fruit. |

Very sweet flavors on entry with pear, green apples that lead to a broad creamy midpalate dominated by citric acidity. The finish is long on this mid bodied Meursault, it reveals mouth tingling saline minerality as well as spiciness. Very lively bursting with energy, but still very young. |

This is delicious right now especially with some grilled beef, but this still needs time to open up. |

1999 Bodegas Vega-Sicilia Ribera del Duero Valbuena 5°Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
11/28/2013 - Gobi wrote: 92 pointsOn the eye this opaque wine exhibits a dark core with a fading brick color on the edges. Aged aromas on the nose revealing plums, blackberries, cherries, old leather, roasted game, sandalwood, tobacco,undergrowth, and black pepper. Nice silky texture on the palate with sour red fruit flavors on the attack, the midpalate is filled with intense acidity, licorice, espresso, and dark chocolate. The finish is of long length on this mid bodied wine, however it is quite coarse and monolithic. It shows green stemmy flavors, black pepper, small hints of creamy vanilla, and very rough tannins. This seems to have a traditional Rioja character, where the harsh acidity marks the backbone and fruit flavors take a secondary role. Very complex tertiary aromas, more Burgundian in character, but the flavors are fully Castilian. This seems to be in its last gasp of life, drink up sooner than later. |

11/24/2013 - Gobi wrote: 99 pointsA nice golden color with aromatic complexity showing oxidized green apples, honeysuckle, orange peel, floral notes, salinity, crushed volcanic stones, and spices. Great texture on this full bodied white showing green apples and apricots on entry, the midpalate shows honey, citric notes that lead to a long saline yet spicy mineral finish. There is an amazing balance to this wine, everything seems to be where it should, but the most impressive feature is play between sweet white fruit flavors and saline notes. The complexity on this is mind boggling, crisp clean cut flavors that just remain for a long time, seems to be a mix between a Manzanilla and Mosel Riesling. |

11/17/2013 - Gobi wrote: 94 pointsA translucent wine with a dark core and bright purple hues on the border, it exhibits a perfumed nose filled with blackberries, raspberries, cherries, floral notes, incense, mint, and sweet spices. A fresh mid bodied wine with intense flavors, it shows fruity bramble flavors on entry along with strawberries and sour cherries. The midpalate comes to life with intense acidity that is discreetly hiding behind flavors of licorice, currants, and dark chocolate. The finish is of long length with spices, tangy minerality, small hints of vanilla, and sappy tannins. This wine shows its pedigree, although its rich in fruit the acidity balances the whole package, drinking beautifully now but it can age for a few years more. |

On the nose it is a bit closed at first, eventually it reveals lemon candy, peach, apricots, pineapple, mango’s, white flowers, baking spices, with a slight hint of oak. Unctuous creamy texture on the palate with notes of peach, apricots, pineapple, citric peel, refreshing acidity on the midpalate, and a long saline mineral finish. Very impressive Albariño, well rounded, exuding elegance with umami like flavors, not so different from a top notch Montrachet. |

A dense silky wine with overtly sweet berry flavors, some acidity on the mid palate, and drying tart watery finish. This seems to be over the hill, only sweet fruit and high alcohol are left, uninspiring. |
