2010 Château Pontet-CanetPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/18/2021 - CWang wrote: 94 pointsIntensely perfumed in the nose, berries, cherries, coffee beans, mints, lavenders, roses, pencil shavings, and pinewood; very creamy, concentrated, and meaty on the plate, berries, cherries, bell peppers, dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and wood spices, also still acidic and tight; long long finish; overall, 93-94 points at this stage, surprisingly still in its youth; will wait for another 5-6 years at least before the next bottle. |

1996 Château Cos d'EstournelSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/26/2020 - CWang wrote: 96 pointsAnother stellar bottle of 1996 Cos d'Estournel with no sign of going down the hill compared to the one tasted in 2017; so 96 points overall again at this stage; however, when tasted side by side with 1994 Dominus, a bit shy of complexity and depth in the nose and on the palate.

2010 Domaine Anne Gros BourgognePinot Noir more |
10/25/2014 - CWang wrote: 91 pointsFull and rich aromas of cranberries, raspberries, strawberries, mints, truffles, and wet forest floors in the nose; the palate, acidic, creamy, and fruity with juicy red berries, whipped cream, and some wood spices; more complex than the previous bottle yet still not as complex as desirable; long finish, with more pleasant wood spices and tannins plus those juicy berries from the palate; overall, 91-92 points for this bottle; should continue to evolve in a few more years.
