1/29/2012 - DdB wrote: 92 pointsDark is how I would describe this one...dark in color, dark fruit profile. Licorce and menthol. Very powerful and still young imo. Alcohol a touch on the high side otherwise this likely have been even more enjoyable. |

2008 François Raveneau ChablisChardonnay more |
1/15/2012 - DdB wrote: 90 pointsNot especially complex, but ohh, the texture. Silky and light on its feet, especially on day 2. Lemon and a bit of peach on the palate. Nice, refreshing acid that didn't take the enamel off my teeth and moderate structure. My first Raveneau and I look forward to tasting the 1ers. |

1/13/2012 - DdB wrote: 93 pointsLet these lie. I knew better, but what the heck, we were having lobster. Tidal pool in full force. Seashell and iodine. Refreshing acidity. Just so darn coiled up. Next bottle 2015+ |

2008 Jean-Jacques Confuron Chambolle-MusignyPinot Noir more |
1/17/2012 - DdB wrote: 88 pointsOn the nose, pine needle, cherry and berry. Palate predominately herbal and savory. Black cherry and plums, hidden mostly in the background, not to emerge across 3 hours. Small bit of alcohol peeking out as well. Enjoyable, but seems to be shutting down? |

1996 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal BrutChampagne Blend more |
9/30/2011 - DdB wrote: 95 pointsNose of honeysuckle, marigolds, butter and kiwi. On the palate, lemony acidity, grapefruit zest, lime and granny smith apple. Actually less tart and more rounded than that sounds. Delightful. Drink or hold? Still youthful - I think there's more to come in 5-6 years. |

1996 Krug Champagne Vintage BrutChampagne Blend more |
11/12/2009 - DdB wrote: 97 pointsWhat can be said about vintage Krug that has not been said before? Well, how about '96 is at the upper echelon of the other vintages (85, 88, 90) I've had previously? A stunner and WILL get better. |

2002 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside SelectStags Leap District more |
1/17/2009 - DdB wrote: 97 pointsBest Hillside I've had to date in terms of texture and harmony. Took a while to get going, but really came together in the glass. Chocolate galore on the palate with pleasing deep, dark cherry and black currant. Still some room to grow in the nose. Paired perfectly with a dry aged sirloin. |

3/27/2008 - DdB wrote: 92 pointsNot quite the purity of '02, but still very enjoyable with grilled sea bass and lobster pasta. Plenty of stone fruits and lots of baby fat right now. Give this some time if you are looking for a more classic P-M profile. |

2001 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
3/16/2008 - DdB wrote: 93 pointsExcellent Beau. Glad to try at this stage but will let the rest sleep at least another year. If you open now, you're in for a treat if you give it a couple hours in the decanter. |
