2014 Sumaridge MaritimusUpper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley White Blend more |
5/15/2024 - nsellen Likes this wine: NRGold but not worryingly so. Nose of aged Sauvignon and a lifted green fruit. Mouth viscous, rich nutty, citric, leafy and floral. This has plenty of fruit left but is clearly into secondary or even tertiary life. I like it, it’s complex and deep. It has echoes of sherry but also layers as the profile shifts from SB and Semillon to the Viognier. This is interesting and worth the wait. But I accept that most would describe it as OTH or even DOA. |

2009 Cyprès de ClimensBarsac Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
5/15/2024 - Loathesome Likes this wine: 91 pointsAs my long term love affair with Climens dwindles as they move from elegance to over concentration I was weary of how this wine might be drinking. Orange in colour with an elegant sweet fruit nose the wine is mid weight and voluptuous but most importantly has great acidity so the balance is excellent. A lot mentions of Marmalade and can go along with that and certainly sweet but well balanced. Not very complex but that is not a problem. |

Beautiful but so young in a way that great wines are young, that is the elegance is there, the effortless balance that can rival the best ballerinas. But one feels it, once has the certainty that this is still too early and we are seeing but a glimpse of the greatness of the wine. Lucky twist of fate landed us with a few more bottles of this so probably this is to be revisited in a few more years. 94-95 for now. |

1989 Château Labégorce-ZédéMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/15/2024 - Chrysostomus Likes this wine: 92 pointsStill much life in it! Give it at least 1 hour of air to let the dirty components disappear. Then you get a classical ripe Bdx, with aromas of mushrooms, wet earth, wood and a little bit of dark fruit too |

2021 Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barbera d'Alba Avesmore |
5/15/2024 - Jonasborgen Likes this wine: 91 pointsWell made barbera with intense cherry flavour. A great pasta wine, but for me the alcohol at 15% is a bit of a draw back. A bit too much heat. Still, really pleasant. |

2020 Frédéric Magnien Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut St. JacquesPinot Noir more |
5/15/2024 - Takao wrote: 90 pointsTasted blind. Deep ruby color. Pronounced aromas of black cherry, nutmeg, bramble, violet, lavender, smoke, a touch of spicy stalky character like argula. Dry, high acid, med alcohol, med+ velvety tannins, long finish. Reductive, smokey and spicy. Fruits are on the darker and riper end but not over the top. Needs a lot of air, or frankly speaking, more time in a bottle. Definitely improved over time. Tasty but is it worth the price? Maybe not for me. 90-92+ |
