2007 Château Les Graves de ViaudCôtes de Bourg Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/9/2011 - carlkallen wrote: 86 pointsStrong viscocity with darkening color. Rich and opulent aroma with Blackberry/Cherry combined with earthy tones and straw. Big taste of forest-berries, licorise and fennel attached with a leatherish hint. Tannins low and 30-second lingering taste. This is a very good wine for its price and has drinkability into 2013 - grab one if you can! |

10/8/2011 - carlkallen wrote: 78 pointsStraw-colored complexion without tearing. Nose is cellary and slightly carmex. Taste-wise, it is of medium acitidty, slight caramel hints with Paprika. Quite refreshing and fairly enjoyable yet not a top-notch wine by any stretch |

2007 Saintsbury Pinot Noir Carnerosmore |
10/7/2011 - carlkallen wrote: 89 pointsBurgundy-coloured with little opaqueness and structured tearing. Usual strawberry aroma with a slight hint of tobacco. Taste is clear with red-currant mixed with blackberry and light leather. The texture is lightly tannic although while tasting in 2011, a non-obtrusive feature and well-balanced. This wine is a yardstick for a well-executed Pinot Noir from California. Can develop further into 2014 |

1994 Château Mont-Redon Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
9/25/2011 - carlkallen wrote: 89 pointsSee-through Garnet with medium-high legs/tearing/viscocity. Red currant/Strawberry aroma with a tingle of forest and muskiness coming through. Red Currants and medium acidity with a prevalency of light tannins. Bottle with crystalized sediments. The wine will drink for an additional 10 years, minimum -still enough backbone to last it through to 2021 |

9/24/2011 - carlkallen wrote: 83 pointsLight lemony hue. Citrusy and honey-suckle sweet aroma with hints of petroleum. Burst of sweetness, concentrated sun and slight acidity with a heavy multiplication of the aroma above. Acidity stays with your for a minute and fades away pleasantly. This wine will probably keep developing well until 2017. |

2008 Château d'ArcinsHaut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/14/2011 - carlkallen wrote: 84 pointsRobust, easy-to-enjoy wine with moderate level of finesse. Predominant taste of Cabernet with held-back tannins. An enjoyable drink that might be better with time but probably will not develop into something spectacular. A good bordeaux. |

2000 Bodegas Bilbainas Rioja La Vicalanda ReservaTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
9/11/2011 - carlkallen wrote: 94 pointsThis wine defines Rioja - not only a Pomal but their top of the range, lucious, oaky with abundant aromas and structure. The hue was plum with some rusty edge, aroma of oaky vanilla with taste going over to mature strawberries, raspberries and finishing with tea-like tannins. THis wine will drink well until 2020 |

1999 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
9/3/2011 - carlkallen wrote: 88 pointsDeep Ruby and increasingly opaque with firm tears/legs. Flowery, Fleshy and Fruity aroma (textbook Cabernet Sauvignon). Firm burst of forest fruit in the Taste with a lingering pleasant alcohol taste and palate, loaded with low-medium tannins. This wine is approaching full maturity - glad I have 4 left! |

2002 Domaine de la Charmoise Romorantin Tourainemore |
9/2/2011 - carlkallen wrote: 84 pointsStraw-coloured with low tearing. 'Cellary', slightly musky aroma with a hint of sea-breeze. Light palate with fresh tones of chalk, citus with undertones of moss and mold. Suspect the vintage is over its peak and an average drink at best in 2011. |

2001 Beaulieu Vineyard Merlot Coastal EstatesCalifornia more |
8/23/2011 - carlkallen wrote: 85 pointsDark colour with some tearing thanks to viscocity and alcohol content. Bold aroma full of energy and muskiness, pugnancy and fleshiness. Taste notes include berries and small elements of coffee and tea thanks to strong tannins for a 10-year-old Merlot. This wine is still in its teens and can develop further, peaking in 2020. |
