2012 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée Red Rhone Blend

Not as great as past Pegau bottles. Maybe needs some additional air time before drinking.

2019 Bread & Butter Pinot Noir California

Bought for 'the gløgg' - a traditional norwegian christmas hot drink, but instant regret after tasting the glas i left behind. Very light ruby in the glas. Vanilla, cherry and strawberry jam on the nose. Fruity and juicy, with a sweet touch. Nice acidety. Butter, oak, cherry and some leather on the palate. Soft tannins. Long, vanilla and caramel, exit. Definetly Bft. Will buy again🍷🍷🍷

Sweet on the palate (a touch of yellow raisnins, christmas spice). Not my cup of tea in a wine though..

2000 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut Champagne Blend

A good showing but not really meeting the (high) expectations. Starting very tight but opening up after 40 min in the glass with notes of mushrooms, gunpowder citrus. Never really bloomed fully though and I think I'd actually prefer a GC to this particular bottle.

This was my first (and only) bottle of the -00 vintage so I can't really provide much insight apart from all Krug bottles I've had so far have required some air to open up - usually peaking 1-2 hours after opening.
My -00 wasn't really "citrusy" in a tight "young wine" way but rather muted.. then again, I've heard that -00 is a atypical vintage.

drank not "tasted"

Decanted for 1h and poured back in bottle before serving. Rather muted bottle, quite dried out fruit and missing the expected "ompf". Not bad, just not interesting. It felt like it was going downhill...

I've kept the 6 bottles i bought in my controlled wine cabinet since delivery and this was by far the weakest one. I am leaning towards bottle variation but I would not hold on any bottles for much longer.

Felt very young and tight. Only the faintest signs of maturation but at this stage I could easily have mistaken it for a cheap NV. It saw some development in the glass over the 1h+ but it must have been a weak bottle.

Considering whether to try another within a year or just forget them all until 2020+

7/9/16, 11:06 PM - Thanks for the tip. Going by the lot-code it's a -15 degorgement, just as you suspected and I guess they need a lot more time!
