  • 2015 Faiveley Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne 93 Points

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

    This could almost be mistaken for a Napa wine, yet tasting it blind, on settles in Burgundy. Soft, creamy, with a sweet, playful almost Condrieu like fruit. Good minerality, a vibrant wine in spite of the richesse. Open for business

  • 2015 Domaine Roulot Meursault 1er Cru Charmes 96 Points

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

    Nervous and fine, intense, mineral, deeply concentrated, very firm and bright. This is still very young, but the elegance here allows, that you drink it. Grand Vin, will improve further. i think.

  • 1995 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 91 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage

    Better than I would have expected, but loosing out to 95 La Turque; this is dry, a wee bit lean, certainky mature, pronounced acidity, yet with enough body to carry it. For a weak vintage of La Chapelle, this is not bad.

  • 1995 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Turque 95 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie

    Ten years after, this is certainly a Sourthern wine; speaks of the land, garrigue here, still tannins, quite manly, spicy with olives but also some sweetness here - round and complete.

  • 1985 Château Haut-Brion 94 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    Coming around and very much like an 1985; vertical wine, firm structure, serious - not playful, notes of tobacco, cedartree, black currant livs here. Great wine, lacks only a little generousity.

  • 1990 Château Haut-Brion 96 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    Magnificent. A very complete wine with all the tell tale notes of tobacco still very much alive. The fruit is soft and mature, vbery rich, and while there is no need to wait for this, there is no hurry either.

  • 1990 Vieux Château Certan 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    Soft, sweet, round, full bodied; enchanting and charming, very much a Pomerol, very much a 1990, fully mature with chocolate galore - looses out, though, to haut-Brion, served vis-a-vis.

  • 1998 Château Haut-Brion 96 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    This is the real McCoy - and much too young. Black curranmt, cool fruit, hinyts of tobacco, immensly concentrated - this is hors classe, wait for it, please. 96++

  • 1998 Château Pape Clément 93 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan

    Must be the sixth time or more, that I have had this; annoyed not to have any notes. You still sense the wine making here, the money behind, but there is a lot to like in term of structure and a firm, healthy fruit. A wee bit polished - bt on a high level.

  • 2015 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage 95 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage

    Tasted late in the evening, not all senses working as they should, but still, i was surprised to se this so polished and smooth; it is immensely concentrated with black fruit galore, a tight fist in the middle, but is certainly silky and dresses up as well - i remember guessing 2cru Bordeaux when blindtasting 2011 in competition. This is a different animal, yet, none os us guessed Chave.

  • 2008 Coche-Dury Meursault 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

    Amazingly, this has not changed a lot since the last time, I tasted it - yes, maybe a wee bit fuller, broader, but there is stil a core of minerality and a precise acidity, thats keeps this wine young. Great stuff.
