  • 2003 Trimbach Riesling Clos Ste. Hune 93 Points

    France, Alsace

    Impossible to identify as Clos St. Hune - the hot vintage materializes and put a considerable damper on the razor-like acid that tend to characterize this wine. I very good glass of Riesling ,though, and quite approachable for a Clos St. Hune.

  • 2009 Bruno Colin Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Truffière 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru

    A rich, almost decadent effort with clear popcorn in the nose that led mind (and the blind guess) onto Leflaive. It was therefore not, but it was a nice wine in supple balance, minerality, vraiment white burgundy from Puligny. And felt no lack of acidity, even in 2009.

  • 2009 Fabien Coche-Bouillot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières 90 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru

    Fading somewhat something in the company of Colins Truffiere - and difficult to identify as 2009, with its very slim character who almost tended to water out. For me, perhaps the evening's weakest wine of the night, but it too was harsh, the company.

  • 2007 Coche-Dury Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières 93 Points

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

    So definitely kept in Coche Dury's new, sleek style - and year 2007 to well also slimming through. Rank, citrus characterized, more Puligny than Meursault when words do not know the label. Clearly too young and far from being unfolded. May we meet again ... and preferably before the last day.

  • 1959 Château Cheval Blanc 98 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru

    Great, great wine. I guessed Bordeaux in 1982, and that says it. It is neither the oldest nor the most expensive wine I have tasted, but it is clearly the best really old Bordeaux wine, I have met in my life, and clearly better than, for example Petrus 1945 and 1947 - quoted from memory. In complete harmony with notes of coffee, chocolate, truffle, etc. with a hint of black currant in the still vibrant fruit. The tannins were completely dissolved and wine went on and on. Bravo.

  • 1992 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée-Conti 97 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée-Conti Grand Cru

    Served straight after Cheval Blanc 1959 and what to choose? Burgundy is in some ways the most hedonistic wine, but the comparison is apples and pears, the two wines have nothing to do with each other, except that they are rare and expensive. DRC turned out great with a sweetness, a freshness, a length and a depth of only burgundy can. It's strawberry juice for adults, mature men, you are struck on pinot nerve and is both poetic and contemplative, while sinking into the spongy forest floor with its peculiar sweetness ...

  • 1993 Domaine Duroché Charmes-Chambertin 90 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru

    This was in unreasonable hardship - to compare in the company of DRC Richebourg. So definitely a decent glass, recognizable as Burgundy, but it was completely overshadowed by Richebourg and seemed almost such straightforward, plain, pedestrian

  • 1993 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg 95 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru

    We took some time to guess the DRC on this, but it was great Burgundy became clear immediately. Fully mature and harmonious with lots of sous-bois and a rich, sweet fruit and soft tannins. A hedonistic showingn, highly addictive - and quickly gone from the glass ...

  • 2006 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Bonnes Mares 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru

    A beautiful wine growing in the glass; well, 2006 is not any star vintage, the style was just a little rustic, but with air the wine was both clearer and easier, and when you see the label, you want to sit and think about it, but that's no good, move on ...

  • 2006 Emmanuel Rouget Vosne-Romanée 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée

    Rouget has brought me much joy of late - the location wins, even though the style is quite modern and thick and dense. Much to young, the real pinot nerve is still to show

  • 2007 Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Aux Cras 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

    Oh, oh; Il faut être absolument modern, ladies and gentlemen! Dense, strong liqueur-like, very concentrated, sweet, polished and almost gemacht in style. I was almost shocked by the revelation, because I did not recognize the producer, who belong to my great idols. Whether it's the wine's youth, vintage or just me, I do not know, the vineyard is excellent.

  • 1999 Roberto Voerzio Barolo Brunate 94 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Certainly a comeback for Voerzio which seemed burned and tired at 2000-tasting recently. This was better, here there was more clarity and structure, more acid, more tannin, more backbone and precision, and the good barolos combination of bright berries and masculine rigor was clearly present.

  • 2009 Bodegas Benjamin de Rothschild & Vega Sicilia Rioja Macan 90 Points

    Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja

    It is not easy (even when you have the right last name) to be new boy in class when the class is so chock-full of confident old elefants. Decidedly international, modern Rioja, and such a wine has nothing to do at the adults' table, if you ask me. But delicious enough, a smooth operator and quite polished, and you would then certainly drink it if there was nothing else. But there was.

  • 1996 Bartolo Mascarello Barolo 95 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Clearly a positive surprise. Still young, but still approachable and with Mascarellos Burgundian ease that achieved also by the great 2000 tasting the other day. The tannins still present, but chewable. Fine, fine barolo in the classic style.

  • 1996 Gaja Langhe Nebbiolo Sorì San Lorenzo 93 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Langhe DOC

    High class, but clearly weaker than Mascarello in my book. Held in Gajas very international style that has no sense of place, really, just very good; dark, round, somewhat polished, smooth and extremely, extremely well-made. But I do miss identity, I do so, and I did too, as we tasted in 2000 - and, moreover, often with Gaja ...

  • 1999 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin

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

    Infanticide. The wine is inky and closed, non approachable. One senses greatness, but just only feel it, right now is the perfect concentration and reminds me actually most of Beaucastel 2001, when it was younger. Compared to the regular 1999'er who feels really good right now, this will require at least another five years - at least.

  • 1999 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Landonne 100 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie

    Even on a night like this - and even after all this: This is a dazzlingly good wine ! Large, majestic and so well structured and complete , that you think it 's a lie . It has everything côte- rôtie must be in the form of hanged meat, olives, bacon , etc. , and it 's all wrapped up in Guigals luxury package of precisely dosed woodh. 1999 will be a great vintage in the Côte-Rôtie (the host had hidden it under a 1995 the, but I did it anyway , so it goes)

  • 2010 Château La Conseillante 95 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Infanticide par excellence, but what, at this time of day (or night) ... dark, dense, juicy, extremely well structured with lots of black berries and even a little smoke - and not necessarily straightforward to identify the right bank - is much cab. in the game? (yes, almost 20 percent cabernet franc, it turns out). It's great wine with a massive fruit that is kept in balance so that elegance is maintained. Would like to meet again in 10-15 years
