2014 Domaine Jamet Côte-RôtieSyrah more |
4/11/2023 - jviz wrote: 90 pointsI opened this from .375 for a blind tasting study group. It had sufficient aromatic complexity, but suffered for lack of syrah typicity. Instead, 3 tasters (fully blinded) called cab franc from Chinon, and were justified in so doing for its green pepper, blackberry and somewhat barnyard/leather aromatics. No black peppercorn, lavender or bacon/meat. In short, it doesn't taste like Cote Rotie and has been my least favorite vintage of Jamet to date.

12/14/2022 - The Guzz wrote: NRThis bottle was green upfront. And I mean '04 herbal astringent green. Very strange given how dark this pours and how good recent vintages of this have been. With a lot of air it gets better. There is pretty cherry fruit waiting in hiding. A bit plusher but never really coming together. Medicinal green hints didn't budge. A surprising bottle and I am usually a big Bachelet fan. Would be curious to hear other opinions.

1/2/2022 - acidqueen wrote: 95 pointsI wish I had another case of this to keep drinking for the next 20 years, but alas this is my final bottle. Purchased on release and well stored. Firm cork, half saturated. This has followed me from a cold closet in San Francisco to many cold storage locations in California and now to my new home in Virginia. It is hard to separate reality from memory in many cases and, truly, should we try? The intertwining of taste (smell) and memory was better described by Proust, so I won’t bother. This wine does bring back many wonderful memories at the cusp of this new year. I am grateful for all the incredible wines I have been fortunate to drink since this bottle was released and for the many people with whom I have been able to share them.

2016 Produttori del Barbaresco BarbarescoNebbiolo more |
11/20/2020 - Addeatum wrote: 89 pointsMy score reflects my personal palate and experience with the wine. I could tell it was well made and that many would like it very much but it simply wasn't my cup of tea. It was very much like a pinot. Translucent and light to look at perhaps garnet in colour. A pleasant but lighter nose but no strong flavours jumping out. On the palate it was light to medium in body but was quite angular and tart. It did have the usual Nebbiolo flavours of rose petals, tart raspberry and, at the end, some tar.

2010 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape La CrauRed Rhone Blend more |
5/21/2019 - Labrador Does not like this wine: 65 pointsAgain - a very disappointing bottle. It showed no fruit and was disjointed and astringent. It was also dry and while that is a characteristic of Vieux Telegraph, this bottle was extremely dry. Since this is the 2nd bottle that has been off, perhaps something else is amiss.

1964 Château Cheval BlancSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/16/2019 - sdr Likes this wine: 95 points47CB and Friends (3030 Ocean, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida): A stunning bottle of ‘64 Cheval Blanc, but since it was recorked in 1996, it’s impossible to tell how much of its amazingly youthful exuberance might be due to topping up with a younger version. Of course it’s possible it was topped off with more ‘64, but impossible to tell. Once I put my skepticism aside, I enjoyed it immensely for its gorgeous plum and black cherry fruit and fabulous natural sweetness. Super fruity yet the structure is there to support it. Whatever they did in 1996, it worked. Still, I’d like to taste a non-recorked version to compare to it.

7/21/2014 - MusignyBlanc wrote: NRThis was very fruit forward with juicy fruit, a nose of kirsch, some citrus, and finishing with a mouthful of cottony tannins. Almost new world in presentation, but with a hint of provencal spice, very well-balanced and very drinkable (and not very complex). No idea when this was bottled or made, but a code on the label says L.06.13-07.08. No idea whether this means something or not.

2001 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
5/2/2015 - bengti Likes this wine: 90 pointsInteresting experience for tasting, considering that many rated this an ideal vintage and how accessible it was in its earlier years. Now it is at first without nose and only a hint of fruit. After 20 minutes, classic CdP mint, vanilla, leather and fruit all nicely balanced. probably indicates it is in decline though it seems early for such a phase to set in. Still a good drink though.

1/30/2015 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRPours out an iridescent green colour. So fresh, so vibrant, so good. Shows but a hint of toasty development then she's all fresh white peach, citrus and mineral. It has a rigid spine and with air you get a suggestion of preserved lemon and some retrained exoticism. It is dense, linear and compact and length is superb. Quite brilliant.

2011 Sea Smoke ChardonnaySta. Rita Hills more |
11/10/2014 - ibglowin Likes this wine: 90 pointsPaired very well with Frutti di Mare over linguine with lemon and capers. A good Chardonnay with the usual notes of Pear and Apple . Nice finish that lingers. Lightly oaked. Good minerality. Not a very good QPR as others have said. It should be a GREAT Chardonnay at this price point and its only a good Chardonnay.

2012 Bedrock Wine Co. Old Vine ZinfandelSonoma Valley more |
2/4/2014 - Hodby wrote: 90 pointsDark red color. Delightful purity of raspberry in the nose, with modest oak spice. On arrival, low-medium tannin, medium acidity; good energy in a smooth style. Flavor develops fully within the first hour open: raspberry/blackberry fruit, brushy thyme and mint, vanilla. I could drink this easy-goer every day. Though it's priced a little high ($30) for its concentration level, the balance is not too high at all for the quality. Bottle #1 of four.

1/8/2014 - bengti wrote: 92 pointsFirst tasted late 2013, exquisite balance and yet good vein of spice and pepper. A great wine. Second bottle this week less perfect, sweeter and candied somewhat, pepper pronounced on the finish too. Nice but felt discombobulated compared to the first try. NB: I remember now why, the first was the 09 which was an outstanding year.

11/11/2013 - BigJul Likes this wine: 91 pointsC’est le 4 ou 5e millésime de cette cuvée que j’ai la chance de déguster, et à chaque fois j’y retrouve cette expression très florale du pinot, avec de la cerise, de la groseille, avec une texture quasi-crémeuse en bouche, une richesse évidente, mais avec un ensemble qui conserve son élégance et son équilibre. C’est un délice. Il n’y a pas d’autres mots… Les détracteurs de la Bourgogne diront que c’est cher payé pour un village qui manque sûrement de complexité ou de puissance, mais le bonheur qu’il nous procure est pratiquement sans égale. Je pourrais boire ce vin à tous les jours. 91
