1988 Domaine Jean Gros Vosne-RomanéePinot Noir more |
5/15/2014 - celk wrote: 91 pointsFully mature and still fresh; melting flowers, cherry and raspberries. Quite balanced but not so intense; a good drop without being too serious. |

10/17/2013 - celk Likes this wine: 92 pointsCustard, dried figs, some cream and fresh lemons. Lots of interest on the palate and very lively; could not guess its age at all! Very enjoyable indeed. |

10/17/2013 - celk wrote: 92 pointsShut down at the moment; first few minutes out of the bottle were wonderful though - black fruits, forest scents, damp earth and nicely rounded mouthfeel. |

2002 Nicolas Potel ChambertinChambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
10/17/2013 - celk wrote: 91 pointsA strange beast; ripe perfume, a long finish but all rather brash and burly. Good quality fruit here though and quite broad flavors on the palate. Masculine and could do with some cellar time. |

2002 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des LambraysClos des Lambrays Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
10/17/2013 - celk Likes this wine: 92 pointsBrambly, spicy and earthy; quite built in character and well defined. Some orange peel acidity and grippy texture. Somehow though left me wishing for a bit more charm. Probably could do with some more time in the cellar. |

1971 Domaine Grivelet Chambolle-Musigny 1er CruPinot Noir more |
10/17/2013 - celk Likes this wine: 92 pointsQuite lovely with wreathes of dusty dried leaves and sappy stewed fruit. Nicely aged and still fresh. |

1999 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les FuéesPinot Noir more |
10/17/2013 - celk Likes this wine: 92 pointsSeductive forest and raspberry scents but tightly wound in the mouth. Tannic and lively, very clear transparent fruit; think it will be a long while yet before revisiting this. Lots of upside but not showing much today. |

10/17/2013 - celk Likes this wine: 95 pointsStunningly beautiful wine with layer upon layer of complex flavors; sea breeze, mineral, lime skins and almond notes. Refreshing and lively - if only more wine experiences could be like this. |

1998 Tenuta di Trinoro Toscana IGTRed Bordeaux Blend more |
10/16/2013 - celk Likes this wine: 92 pointsDense, tannic and rather Bordeaux like with forest/herb flavors. High quality but unyielding at the moment. |

2000 M. Chapoutier Ermitage Blanc Le MéalHermitage Marsanne more |
10/16/2013 - celk Likes this wine: 95 pointsClean, delineated flavors; full and rounded with lively acidity. Honey, beeswax, cream and limestone. Intense and lithe; a beautiful wine and already highly enjoyable but no rush. |

1970 PétrusPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/13/2013 - celk Likes this wine: 96 pointsFully mature and soft; impeccably well balanced. Crystalline cool on the palate with fresh herb accents. Sandalwood and exotic incense on the nose; some savory earthiness. A generous giving wine at a good place for drinking now. Probably the best mature Bordeaux I have had. |

1993 Colgin Cabernet Sauvignon Herb LambNapa Valley more |
10/4/2013 - celk Likes this wine: 94 pointsLovely ripe aromatics wrapped in rosemary and thyme, voluptuous and sensuous mouthfeel with a persistent lingering finish. Balanced too and fully resolved with soft tannins and good freshness; less intense than the 2005 Colgin IX as a reference point. Great bottle at a nice stage of its drinking evolution - would not wait longer. |

12/4/2012 - celk Likes this wine: 92 pointsFloral aromatics with wafty iron, mineral and some secondary savoury notes. Rich, well integrated morello cherries and sweet core. Not the most complex though. |

12/4/2012 - celk Likes this wine: 91 pointsOxidative, sherry notes and persistent intensity. This particular bottle seemed to lack some freshness and transparency. Recall being more impressed on previous occasions. |

2003 Franco M. Martinetti Barolo MarascoNebbiolo more |
12/4/2012 - celk wrote: 90 pointsNice sense of freshness and balance to the wine. Coffee notes and bitter smoky twigs on the finish somewhat distracting. |

2003 Michele Chiarlo Barolo CerequioNebbiolo more |
12/4/2012 - celk wrote: 90 pointsDeep, dark prunes on the nose; woody with hints of cognac. Burnt woods and some bitter coffee notes emerged with time in the glass. Not a fan of the 2003's. Good sense of quality though with a masculine, seductive style to the wine. |

2004 Vietti Barolo CastiglioneNebbiolo more |
12/4/2012 - celk wrote: 91 pointsThe most aromatic wine of the evening. Perfumed and with a really nice sense of freshness; roses, tar, herbs, parsley and corriander on the high toned cherry nose. |

2004 Prunotto Barolo BussiaNebbiolo more |
12/4/2012 - celk Likes this wine: 92 pointsDense, defined and well structured. Blueberries, plums and cinnamon sticks. A rather accomplished and complete wine with good stuffing for the future. |
