2013 Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru En Orveaux Pinot Noir

Slowly bt breathed an hour, color is deep ruby, nose has red fruits and spice. Plenty of oak spice on palate, slightly floral, tannin smooth with good concentration. Too much oak for my liking, though finishing reveal more fruits. SC seems overhyped ?

2008 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos Chardonnay

9/13/2017 - conviction buy wrote:

Med golden with orchard fruit, slightly creamy with citrus note. Very concentrated on palate, distinct crisp acidity of chablis with mineral driven core. However, the wine seems to be ahead of itself, perhaps due to oxidation which could just be what it was intended to be, more like a 2003 bt.

2009 Roberto Voerzio Barolo Rocche dell'Annunziata Torriglione Nebbiolo

Med to deep red, nose of cherry and candy. More approachable than Cerequio from the same mixed case. Sweet on palate, subtle acidity, aroma of tea leaves, slightly dry and grippy tannin, drinkable now.

1995 Château Figeac St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend

88 points

Tasted side by side with 82, this was way too young. Deep red, green nose with some plastic bag aroma that barely faded after hrs of breathing. Intense lack finesse.

2009 Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc Pessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend

Pale yellow with distinctive mango, passionate fruit and peach aroma, like fruit yogurt with the creamy aroma. Buttery and almond from mid palate and also some wood spice at the end, med acidic but long, though lack a refreshing touch somehow.
