  • 2007 MastroJanni Brunello di Montalcino 90 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino

    See through crimson core with orangey rim, some age; dark cherry, dried fruit, some stank, reticent, raspberry; rose, cherry, cedar, good subtle intensity that should put on some weight with more bottle age; very good.

  • 2004 Domaine de Marcoux Châteauneuf-du-Pape 93 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    Dark core with light extraction and lighter rim; CdP nose of dull raspberry, secondary nuance, funk, leather, fuller, fig, good ripeness; tart red fruit on the palate, berries, garrigue, fresher on the palate, higher alcohol, traditional, I like the balance of sweet and tart fruit, medium brightness, Burgundian Grenache; very good; pegged this as 2007 so this drank very young.

    Dark core with thin reddish rim; red fruit, stone powdered dust, Robitussin, raspberry liqueur, cherry, cranberry; dark, mesquite, charry, brooding, ash, grainy tannin, tart and sour red and dark fruit on the finish; not the most elegant CdP but I like its potential; I would say this almost requires 2 years at least; 90+.

    Prematurely aged. Funny because the '04 was gorgeous.

  • 2010 Domaine Billard-Gonnet Pommard 1er Cru Les Pèzerolles 91 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru

    At the end of a long tasting this was opened in bad judgment; pop and pour at room temp which made this a little shut down and less expressive than previous bottles; we were still able to polish it off fairly easy.

Closing

Some great wines this evening. The '04 Marcoux, '07 Martinenga, Moss Wood, and Jasmin were my favorites.

I was also on fire calling 3 wines producer, vintage, and bottling.
