A big fruity and heavy wine with flavors that are smooth and supple. Heavy blackberry and moderate oak with a fine tannin that is well integrated. The wine was very tenacious after opening. I had the chance to have a taste a day after and 3 days afte opening; The wine held up well and maintained a full flavored taste without showing any significant oxidation.

I usually like Rose with some age and certainly Ott's range.but this feels slightly attenuated and past its best perhaps. 14% alcohol but wears it well.

From a half DG November 2020 this is in a great spot after sitting in my cellar for over 3 years. Creamy, rich and biscuity, this demonstrates how even modest NV champagne can improve with a few years resting in the bottle.

Clear Medium Ruby color.
Clean, pronounced flavours of strawberries, red cherries, a hint of dried herbs, meat.
Dry, low acidity, low tannins, high alcohol, light to medium body, intense aromas of red cherries, strawberries, herbal notes. Mid finish.
It's a good wine, it lacks a bit of structure

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Showing plums, black cherries, currants, chocolates, light oak, spices, coffee, licorice, light vanilla, peppercorn, tobacco leaf and light earth.

Medium plus in length on the finish, with grippy tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Bolgheri. Spicy and interesting. Nicely balanced and elegant.

Very tasty and already enjoyable, although still young. Needs 5 years in the bottle to mature properly. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot. Aged for 16 months in French oak barrels and then 6 months in Austrian oak.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$85.

Wie schon JG 2018 ist auch 2019 sehr gelungen, aktuell aber fast noch etwas zu jung und unausgeglichen.
Tropische, reife Frucht in der Nase, am Gaumen kontert präsente Säure sehr gekonnt. Trotz aller Intensität bleibt die (zumindest nominell) trockene Spätlese angenehm schlank.

Champagne Uchiko dinner. We drank this in a flight with Krug '95, 2000, and NV. The '02 was much more vibrant and alive than the other two vintage bottles, with more depth and nuance. Incredible mouth feel and balance. Almond, almond paste, meyer lemon, biscuits. Very long finish. This seems to just be coming into a VERY good place. It should hold and evolve for many more years.

A fine NdM from a renowned producer, a pleasure to return and taste this single vineyard production of pure Sangiovese farmed from 50 year old vines. Aged separately in Slavonian oak for 18 months and 12 months in a bottle. Medium+ ruby colour. Medium+ intensity aroma of cherries, tobacco, undergrowth, leather, strawberries, dried rose petals. Medium+ body, lively structure, racy and pleasantly austere, medium+ acidity, bright fleshy and fresh red fruit flavours, earthy and smoky notes, firm tannic structure.

Always a pleasure to come back to this Italian Merlot gem, grown organically, vinified with native yeast in cement vats, matured for 18 months in FR oak barrels, 33% new, frequent batonnage for first 6 months. Intense rich aroma of blackberries, violets, cassis, plums, roses, herbal hints. Full body, as always I am amazed by elegance and finesse of this Italian Merlot, full of black fruits, but never too dense or overpowering, also smoky, earthy and herbal notes, medium+ acidity, finely woven medium+ tannins.

Quite a lot of co2 from the bottle give this a semi-sparkling feel.
But fear not fellow drinker, the co2 soon dissipates and allows the wine to show everything that it got!

Flinty, salty, high - very high acidity, sweet core with yellow fruits.
This is a fantastic wine!

Nice structured, lively Morgon. Still a lot of fruit and freshness after 4 years, tannic stricture and acidity still stands. So will develop more the next couple years.

5/3/2024 - djhammond Likes this wine:

This is a very charming wine, but lacking complexity at this stage of its life. It needs lots of air to come alive, and I decanted this for 7 hours. It has a decent nose, and the burst of red cherry front palate is impressive. However, it doesn't follow through on the rest of the wine, lacking depth, and with a clipped finish. I would imagine that this will improve with age, but unlike some 2009s which are deeply seductive at present.

I found a second bottle of this vintage and, after failing to enjoy the last bottle a few months ago, thought we should try it.
A little more time in bottle (and a few hours after opening) has led to improvement.
Medium dry - not too sweet. It has tropical fruit, acidity, and some apricotty Viognier characteristics. Simple but OK for the low price.

Way more mature than my previous bottle (Nomarcork-variation, eh). There is still fruit and it is by no means tired but it has dried up to a certain extent and lacks the depth and vibrancy of the previous bottle. Not bad but not something I would rebuy either.

Stunning nose with cherries that immediately jumps out of the glass, later a lot of spices. Intense and medium to full bodied with black cherries, minerals and perhaps darker fruits ending in a long finish. It has some power but the elegance of the cherrie flavors are superb. A charming Charmes and for me a favourite kind of wine.

Served around 55°F. The cork looked all kinds of nasty underneath the capsule but I was able to extract it, intact, with the help of a Durand. I then poured the bottle into a decanter about 30min prior to service. At the ripe age of 41, the 1983 pours a deep gold with a transparent core; medium viscosity with some slight signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of baked stone fruits: peach, apricot, marmalade, hazelnuts, baked lemon, and those gummy peach rings. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is creamy, buttery. I thought this was a lovely, mature Corton Charlemagne and while it is very much alive, its life-force is fading. Drink now.
