2013 Domaine Leflaive Bourgogne BlancChardonnay more |
3/14/2024 - ptwu Likes this wine: 92 pointsI bought two cases of this on release because Stephen Tanzer noted in his review of the 2013 village Puligny that the Bourgogne was worth seeking out. This is now drinking fabulously. I have had 3 bottles in the last two months and it is incredibly fresh with great fruit and finish. You could easily replace “Bourgogne” on the label with Puligny and feel very happy with the purchase. Glad I didnt give up on this, thought it was surely past prime but in fact it is in its prime. |

2005 Château PalmerMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/11/2023 - ptwu Likes this wine: 97 pointsAmazing wine, mellow tannins, great fragrance, fruit, finish. Drank next to 05 Lynch Bages and Cos. edged out the Lynch Bages. Cos was tight, perhaps because it was from magnum. |

1999 Château Léoville Las CasesSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/21/2020 - ptwu Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis is my last bottle of 6 and I should have waited until now to drink. Best LLC I’ve had and that undoubtedly because I didn’t wait long enough on others. |

2010 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte BouguerotsChardonnay more |
5/10/2020 - ptwu Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is delicious but really required time in the bottle. The Fevre 2010s I had tried prior to this year were funky. This is the second 2010 I have tried in quarantine, so glad I had them with me. Nice length. And held up very well four days later after being in fridge with just a cork. |

2013 Littorai Pinot Noir Hirsch VineyardSonoma Coast more |
5/5/2020 - ptwu Likes this wine: 94 pointsAbsolutely fantastic, incredible depth, long long finish, delicious red fruit. These Littorais all need 6-7 years to show what they are made of. |

2005 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay 1er Cru Santenots-Du-MilieuPinot Noir more |
4/28/2020 - ptwu Likes this wine: 88 pointsThis is the first bottle, out of 7 so far, that I have enjoyed. I think I got a case from Acker Merrall auction that was stored poorly. Or maybe it is age, but I doubt it. This bottle is good. Not tons of length, but there is fruit and some complexity and it smells good, not bad! Do you find this review helpful?

2001 Château Sociando-MalletHaut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/20/2020 - ptwu Likes this wine: 92 pointsMy last bottle from a case bought on release and maybe the best. The previous one I drank had a little too much of the sociando peppery notes. This one was much more balanced, and long lingering fruit. Outstanding. And I probably paid $18/bottle on release! |

4/15/2020 - ptwu Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis is drinking absolutely fabulously right now. I wouldn't wait. has a nice pale yellow glow with just a hint of green. long long finish. full of green fruit notes. |
