2004 Château Potensac

Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more

1/3/2024 - Outplaying Likes this wine: NR

This is a pleasant, though somewhat simple wine, but it works fine. I had low expectations given the average score here, but I’m enjoying it actually. I like the lighter weight and elegance. I wish I had a few more bottles, to drink over the next few years.

White Alba truffle dinner at Park Place: Excellent Chablis. Like Bob said, I could also drink this all night. Brine and sea water aromas. Saline, good fruit concentration. Some lime. Drinking really well.

I am not familiar with this producer at all. Some earthy notes on the nose. A mix of red a darker fruit. I thought there was a hint of sweetness that detracted for me, but there was plenty of acid. Ann loved it. I wouldn’t say that, but it is pretty good..

Holly and Tony picked up some funkiness that I did not. This was considerably more intense than the Casanova di Neri. More fruit, a hint of sweetness, licorice and spice accents. I liked this one, too.

This saw little air before we started drinking it, and that seemed to be fine. No sediment surprisingly.

This is drinking great, actually. Some menthol, licorice, cherry, floral and spice notes. The wine is silky and smooth, but at the same time there is some light tannin remaining. I wish I had a few more of these. They will drink well for quite a while.

2004 Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino

11/30/2021 - Outplaying wrote: NR

Ten and a half years since we have opened one of these. Where does the time go? My tastes have changed a lot since I bought these and this is not really made in a style that I pursue now. Some cinnamon and earthy notes on the nose. The fruit is rich, with a sweet, sappy quality to it. Darker tones, some earth and tobacco accents. Decent acidity. Overall this is enjoyable and I am curious how the last glass will be after being open for a night.

2004 Poggio il Castellare Brunello di Montalcino

Sangiovese more

2/6/2021 - Outplaying wrote: NR

Initially this showed quite a bit of fine leather and cigar humidor aromas. Smells nice.

Soft and ready to go. With air, the fruit emerged and some light tannin started to show. The wine is much riper and fruitier than I remember. A little more than I prefer, but overall this isn’t bad. Hard to say where this goes from here. I liked the last bottle seven years ago more than this one, but my tastes have also changed.

Almost nine years since the last bottle. Still very good, and it doesn’t seemed to have changed much. I really like this vintage and won’t rush to drink my last bottle.

This never grabbed my attention. Alcohol was poking through a little at first. A little later it seemed better balanced.

This was opened later in the evening, and I was a little wined out, but this didn’t resonate with me. It was a little hard, and simple. I guess you could chalk it up to being young, but I am not convinced.

3/31/2020 - Outplaying wrote: NR

Since my last bottle about five years ago, this has taken on some earthy, aged notes. Black and blue fruit tones, dark honey. There is a lot of fruit here, but it is restrained compared to the bigger vintages and there is a nice dose of balancing acidity. This is really drinking well. I like this vintage in CdP.

Darker tones. Fairly structured. Enjoyable, with possible upside. I’ll hold my other bottle for a while.

I enjoyed this wine. There is a nice balance of fruit, aged aromas and flavors. Dark, with tar and smokey accents. Food friendly acidity. No need to rush with these, though they seem mature. I've tried a few different vintages now, and I like what I've had.

A light, transucent cantaloupe color. Fine bubbles. Honey and brioche on the nose. Red berries on the palate. A little rounded. Not bad, but I didn't love it. I think this would be a crowd pleaser though.

2004 Pago de los Capellanes Ribera del Duero Crianza

Tempranillo more

9/25/2016 - Outplaying wrote: NR

My last of 7 bottles and almost 5 years since my last note. I really enjoyed the previous bottles, but this one seemed a little sweet to me. Likely a reflection of our tastes changing. Hints of leather and tertiary flavors are just beginning to develop. Not bad with a homemade, somewhat spicy paella, but I didn't enjoy it by itself. Their is a little structure remaining so if I had more, I would probably hold and hope for something more.

On day two, the wine showed more tannin and just a little less sweetness.

2004 Bodegas Felix Callejo Ribera del Duero Crianza

Tempranillo more

12/5/2015 - Outplaying wrote: 90 points

It's been about four years since I had one of these. This was once in my wheelhouse, yet a little too lean for Ann. This time, Ann loved it and I thought there was just a bit too much glycerin and sweet ripe fruit. Accents of leather, chocolate, charred earth and faint licorice. Moderate acidity, and a little fine tannin. Held up well on day two, showing just a bit softer. Overall a nice wine but on the edge for me in terms of style. If I had another bottle, I might wait a couple years to see if more tertiary flavors develop.

I'm not sure what to make of this wine. Fairly lean, with tart red fruits, high acid, and some spice. Not very complex and a wine that may have shown better with food.

Needed a bit of time to open up. Still fairly primary and simple with shadings of crushed black pepper and a little dark honey to go along with mostly red and a little darker fruit. Silky and elegant. Ann loved it. I'll wait five plus years before opening another to see if it gains some complexity.

2004 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Red Rhone Blend more

8/6/2014 - Outplaying wrote: NR

Decanted for about 2 hours. Slight orange/bricking color on the edges. Quite a bit of licorice on the nose and palate. A mix of tart red berries and darker fruits. Some spice. There is still a lot of structure and fruit here and the wine tastes young despite the color. I'd love to follow this wine over the next 10 years or so. Enjoyed it.

After having the 1990 a less than a week later from this original note, I would wait at least 5-8 years before opening one of these.

Almost 4 years since the last bottle. Showed some orange and browning on the rim. Took an hour so to start opening up. Once it did, the wine showed showed dried, tart red fruits, some date, slight raisin, orange peel, and lots of acidity. Liked this a lot.

2004 Clos du Mont-Olivet Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Red Rhone Blend more

12/29/2013 - Outplaying wrote: NR

Popped and poured a glass for Ann and myself. Very muted nose and palate so I poured the remainder in a decanter. The wine took a couple hours to open but when it did it showed subtle and pretty red fruits, slight black tea and faint spices. For ten years old, the wine does not show a lot of secondary flavors but it is also not a fruit bomb by any stretch. Very elegant and restrained. More so than any other CdP I've had. The bottle surprisingly said 15% but I detected no heat at all. My only knock, and it is a slight one, is that there is a very faint caramel cream note on the finish.

Playing spades with Ken and Kelly VII (Our house, Kennett square, PA): Ripe dark fruits, a little tobacco, some spice, slight mint, very soft and silky. No tannins left but still some good fruit and acidity. Smells great. Based on this bottle I would drink 'em if you've got 'em.
