2007 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses
89 points
At this stage, expected a lot more. Premature. I presume it will improve with bottle age. However, I don't understand how the pros could give it such elevated scores at t
White
2007 Aubert Chardonnay Lauren Estate Vineyard
92 points
A rich wine with tropical fruit flavors. But lacks the acidity and minerality I expect from Aubert. I much prefer the 01 and 02 Ritchie Vineyard to this.

2006 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Saint Georges

Very good. Nice bouquet, sour cherry flavor. But not = to my 02 Vaucrain.

2001 Peter Michael L'Esprit des Pavots

A superb wine, the Cab Franc showed well. Ellen doesn't normally kike Cab Franc dominant wines, but she loved this and preferred it to the Les Pavots. Blueberry notes.

2006 Kalleske Shiraz Johann Georg

Sweet intense wine. Similar to Astralis. I loved it. However, Ellen's comment was this might have been the fist Shiraz she didn't like.

2005 Viña Cobos Malbec

Extraordinary. Seems to have Paul Hobbs signature. Very similar to my 2001 Paul Hobbs Beckstoffer To-Kalon.
Flight 5 (2 notes)
Red
2004 E. Pira & Figli (Chiara Boschis) Barolo Cannubi

No rose bouquet. Amazingly light and fruit forward for such a young Barolo. Very approachable now.
Red
2006 Viñedos Lacalle y Laorden Rioja Viña el Pisón
85 points
Monolithic. As I have frequently, complained of Rioja, there is "No There, There". Was totally outclassed by the other reds in the tasting.
