2000 Château La Fleur de BoüardLalande de Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/13/2013 - kflex Likes this wine: 89 pointsI had the last bottle of this one about a year ago - and it's both amazing and a bit sad to see the change. This 2000 is already getting old now and should definitely be drunk soon. Nose of meat and leather, only later some cassis. Grainy tannins and a surprisingly aggressive acidity, not perfectly woven into the wine anymore. |

2008 Mas Martinet Priorat Martinet BruRed Blend more |
9/15/2013 - kflex Likes this wine: 91 pointsCreme de Cassis, dark chocolate, and a hint of menthol in the nose. Spicy and massive on the palate, still quite classy. Dense and intense, long finish with slight bitterness. |

2007 Château Gigognan Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vigne du RégentRed Rhone Blend more |
9/30/2013 - kflex Likes this wine: 90 pointsRuby red. Unusual amount of cassis for CdP, also loads of herbal notes and cooked strawberries. Beautiful texture, great warmth and spiciness on the palate. |

2004 Fernando Remírez de Ganuza Rioja ReservaTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
10/2/2013 - kflex Likes this wine: 92 pointsDark ruby, almost black color with some sediment. Butter and raspberry cream toffee in the nose, later hints of mint and dark chocolate. Firm tannin, spectacular finish. Much, much too young - don't drink before 2016. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2007 Hartford / Hartford Court Pinot Noir Land's Edge VineyardsSonoma Coast more |
8/17/2013 - kflex Does not like this wine: 81 pointsWhat a disappointment! Thick and heavy like a jar of blackcurrant jam. Very sweet, very designed - more like an Australian Shiraz than a Pinot. |

1998 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Clos de la RocheClos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
3/30/2013 - kflex Likes this wine: 94 pointsLight ruby red. A rollercoaster ride in the nose, starting with some barnyard and then developing into redcurrant, glue, raw steak, mint, cherry drops, roses, fruit in rum, melon, and rose hip tea. Hints of liquorice on the palate; a bit cool and arrogant in the mouth. Has a silky, but very present acidity that reverberates for a long time. |

NV Bodegas Vega-Sicilia Ribera del Duero Único Reserva Especial 1991, 1994, 1995 (2010 Release)Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
3/30/2013 - kflex Likes this wine: 96 pointsDeep black. Lots of melted, caramelized butter in the nose; also lemon buttermilk, dough, caramel, popcorn, tar, gravy, capers and something like anchovy. Incredibly intense on the palate; leaves great warmth in the mouth that makes you feel your blood pulsating. |

2000 Château La Fleur de Boüard Le PlusLalande de Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/30/2013 - kflex wrote: 94 pointsAlmost black. Nose of stew, plum, and pumpernickel. Crazy concentration, like a hundred bottles boiled down to one - it's almost too much, actually. Incredibly long finish. |

1986 Château Léoville Las CasesSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/30/2013 - kflex Likes this wine: 95 pointsRuby red with no signs of age whatsoever. Elegantly restrained in the nose, with Cassis and some tar. Crisp and aristocratic on the palate, with a very warm finish that seems never to end. A stunning - and still young - wine that will last for decades to come. |

2000 Château La Nerthe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée des CadettesRed Rhone Blend more |
3/30/2013 - kflex Likes this wine: 94 pointsLots of meat, spices, and dark chocolate. Seductive sweetness and juiciness. La Nerthe's Cuvée des Cadettes proves again and again that it is a fantistic wine at this price. |

1999 Château Belle-BrisePomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/27/2013 - kflex wrote: 82 pointsCaramel, boiled strawberries, vanilla, and later some burnt rubber, wool fat, and citrus aromas. Not a very good wine: nose, mouth, and finish are all mediocre at best. Huge disappointment at this price. |

1989 Château BatailleyPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/27/2013 - kflex wrote: 89 pointsAfter some time in the glass, a fantastic nose of barnyard, leather, straw, elderberry started to unfurl; lateron, hints of coffee, camphor, liquorice, strawberries, and cream. Unfortunately, it was disappointing on the palate, with weak tannins and aggressive acidity. Medium finish. If you still have a bottle, better drink it now. |

2000 Château Pontet-CanetPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/15/2013 - kflex Likes this wine: 95 pointsHearty note of liquorice, blood, and pencil, lateron kumquats and canola honey. Strong tannins and immense density - feels like it never leaves your mouth. This one leaves you with goosebumps. |

3/15/2013 - kflex wrote: 90 pointsRuby red. Nose of cooked strawberries with a seductive sweetness. Sweetness continues on the palate, but is counterbalanced by expressive tannins, moving towards a long finish. Good value for this price. |

2007 Planeta Syrah Siciliamore |
3/13/2013 - kflex Likes this wine: 90 pointsDark ruby color. Nose of cassis (and loads of it!), some dust, cherry yoghurt, and eucalyptus. A lot more reminiscent of a New World Cabernet than a European Syrah, actually. A distinct bitterness makes this one quite interesting to taste. Lateron, hints of cooked yolk and toffee in the nose. |
