1982 Château GloriaSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/1/2017 - ccn Likes this wine: 92 pointsShowing well fully in tertiaries. Improved significantly over two hours. A subtle, balanced wine - no fireworks but a lot of depth and length. Probably nearing peak but no rush. |

3/27/2017 - ccn wrote: 89 pointsHad several bottles of this over the last year. A solid wine, mid-weight, but not at the same level of many other vintages of Tondonia GR I've had. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2014 Pietro Caciorgna Etna CiauriaEtna DOC Nerello Mascalese more |
3/23/2017 - ccn Does not like this wine: 74 pointsTwo borderline undrinkable bottles. I am a fan of etna Rosso but these tasted like some extreme version of ladybird taint (pyrazines). Tried again after 24 hours and even worse. Poured down the drain. |

2014 Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec Le Haut-LieuChenin Blanc more |
3/19/2017 - ccn Does not like this wine: 88 pointsVery chenin-blanc in character, good length, reasonably concentrated. But to call this wine "dry" is misleading. It's dry like Mosel rieslings are dry -- lots of sugar, and lots of acidity, so it finishes dry even though being rich and borderline sweet in the middle. Like lemonade. Not my thing. |

2000 Château Chasse-SpleenMoulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/18/2017 - ccn Likes this wine: 90 pointsFully mature. Drink up. Soft tannins, long, secondaries. Slightly clunky but enjoyable. Day 2, the fruit has turned rasiny and the tannins are slightly leathery -- confirming my view that this fully mature. Great value for money, but I like rather than love it. |

3/16/2017 - ccn wrote: 89 pointsVery savoury. Concentrated but not overripe. Good length. A would prefer this in a slightly lighter version - it's borderline thick - it objectively well done. |

3/4/2017 - ccn wrote: 91 pointsReally lovely and at peak. Took 45 minutes to fully open up but it was interesting at every stage. Balanced with bright acidity, red fruit, integrated tannins, good length. |

2005 Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les CailleretsChardonnay more |
3/4/2017 - ccn Likes this wine: 91 pointsDrinking beautifully. Classic honeysuckle notes of Chassagne . Great balance with good acidity and oak fully integrated. Clearly has the potential to age another 5 years. |

2000 Château La Croix de GayPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/2/2017 - ccn wrote: 89 pointsNot flawed but to judge from other notes this might not have been a perfect bottle. Pretty, soft black liquorice / anise flavours. Not great length or volume. Fully mature. Had 2 hour decant. |

2012 Domaine Dujac Chambolle-MusignyPinot Noir more |
2/16/2017 - ccn Likes this wine: 90 pointsDecent amount of extraction and body compared to normal Dujac without being heavy. Slight reduction. Lovely fruit, good concentration, ok length very primary. Not very chamboule, fruit is darker red and closer to Morey. Infanticide - this will probably go to sleep soon and then be better in 10-15. |

2009 C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España) Rioja Imperial Gran ReservaTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
1/31/2017 - ccn wrote: 88 pointsToo young and somewhat disjointed - fruit a bit jammy, tannins still prominent. Decent length. Suspect this will warrant a better score in 5 years but not very elegant right now. |

2007 Marqués de Murrieta Rioja Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva EspecialTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
1/20/2017 - ccn wrote: 90 pointsObjectively a very well made wine, but in too modern / extracted / ripe / big a style for my taste. It's big. Needs 5-10 years minimum, am sure could age more. |

2012 Kumeu River Chardonnay Hunting Hillmore |
1/20/2017 - ccn wrote: 92 pointsShowing beautifully. Significantly better than the Mate or the basic bottling of this vintage. Not sure it will get better than this with age. |

2013 Charles Joguet Chinon Clos de la DioterieCabernet Franc more |
1/15/2017 - ccn Likes this wine: 88 pointsRelatively closed with good structure. Lean wine at this stage. Could be elegant over time - but I'd wait 5-10 years. |

2006 Littorai Pinot Noir Mays CanyonRussian River Valley more |
1/6/2017 - ccn wrote: 88 pointsHotter and more phenolic than I expect from littorai. Some new oak? Very savory and thick. Showed poorly the second day, with either oak or perhaps steminess coming through. |
