2004 El Pedrosal Ribera del DueroTempranillo more |
4/12/2016 - FreddyP Likes this wine: 87 pointsTotally and utterly surprised! A singelton in the back of the cellar. Opened up beautifully. I had to look twice at the label, yes it was an El Pedrosal which I once paid $8-10 for. Depth and complexity now matching a $50 wine. Splendid winemaking for the money. Drink now if you have any! |

5/17/2014 - FreddyP wrote: 90 pointsGreat wine, Opens up very nicely. Ripe fruit (dates/raisins) hint of coconut. Very Burgundy on the palate. nice acidify with quite some minerals. Given the price for it being an Ambonney wine, my advice is: buy a case and enjoy! |

2008 Simonsig Pinotage RedhillStellenbosch more |
11/5/2011 - FreddyP wrote: 91 pointsOn the nose: a well balanced wine with raspberries and a hint of blueberris, liquorice and vanilla (probabely from the 40% part american oak) and just a tiny hint of that SA smokeyness. On the palate: Well integrated tannis and a perfectly balanced bowl of dark fruit. Stands fine on it's own and this night served with cape malay curry. This years best South African wine. Just pop and pour. 91+ |

2006 Bibich Shiraz SangrealSkradin more |
12/31/2010 - FreddyP wrote: 88 points(From memory) Nice Syrah nose with a surprisingly 'Aussie' tone to it. Bit of mint and chocolate. Firm tannins on the palate with a medium finish. Best Croatian red wine imo. |

2004 Alain Graillot Crozes-HermitageSyrah more |
12/18/2010 - FreddyP wrote: 89 pointsNice Crozes nose with hint of tar and a scent of lovely peppered red meat along with the dark fruit. Smooth on the palate but the finish is a bit too short and shallow. Still a superb and classic Graillot C-H and a solid 89 points bordering 90. Drink now. |

1/16/2010 - FreddyP wrote: 90 pointsNice nose with dark boysenberries, plums, pressed dogrose hips, cedar/pine with well integrated oak. On the pallate the quite firm tannins did work well with the cherry pips and dark fruit. |

2005 Uva Mira Chardonnay Single VineyardStellenbosch more |
12/31/2009 - FreddyP wrote: 90 pointsNice crisp Chardonnay, new world in style but still with an "old touch" The oak is now more prominent than the last bottle, green and golden apples. nice freshness on the mid palate. |

12/8/2009 - FreddyP wrote: 84 pointsTypical "modern Italian" in style, nose of red fruit, cherries, hint of tea-leaves. qiute soft tannins and qiute short on the tatse. Did expect more from a "top 10 of 100 wine". |

2004 Château Haut GuiraudCôtes de Bourg Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/21/2009 - FreddyP wrote: 87 pointsWow, better than expected. Memories from tasting at the Château in 2005 and 2006 flashes before my eyes. Nice nose with right bank touch with just a hint of new world ( read napa ) comes to mind. At 80% Merlot and 20% Cab it´s very fruit driven with nice integrated oak. Tannins almost gone.The time to drink my remaining bottles is now, and I will enjoy it. |

2005 M. Chapoutier Crozes-Hermitage Petite RucheSyrah more |
7/19/2009 - FreddyP wrote: 87 points1½ years since I last drank this wine. Same nose as with before with that hint of that of an unventilated delicatessen store but the tannins on the palate are now almost completely gone. Pepper, leather and aswell as ripe red berries. the greenish note has vanished. Feels like the fruit is dissapearing too. Not like likely in the tunnel just probably on the slope downward. If you have it drink it now. |

2002 Dopff & Irion Riesling VorbourgAlsace Grand Cru more |
7/16/2009 - FreddyP wrote: 88 pointsNice petroleum/kerosene on the nose. Green apples with a hint of pears. I agree with finarevinare´s previous note of racy acididy (even though 2 years have passed since they tasted it), they are still very alive. Big mineral tone. Quite a nice match to a tonights spicy seafood casserole and fresh pasta. |

2006 Iona Sauvignon Blanc Elginmore |
7/9/2009 - FreddyP wrote: 88 pointsNice clean SB nose, gooseberries, huge nose of blackcurrant leaves, a bit round and "soft on the edges". In my opinion a mix of old and new world in style. Very good taste with an acidity and minerality which are quite subtle. A bit of sweetness, resembeling that of the taste of the root of the common polypody, is also present on the palate of this wine. |
