4/14/2024 - ubercuvee wrote: NRNot as flabby as most 06s and still showing good freshness, but I found the white chocolate notes the vintage imparts a bit offputting for my palate. A strong effort for the vintage but not worth the $$s for me |

2019 Domaine Jamet Côte-RôtieSyrah more |
2/16/2024 - ubercuvee wrote: NRSmoky oak and whole bunch on the nose. The plate shows a click of creamy oak and spicy/pepper notes with a hint of cluster. I always struggle to enjoy Jamet cote-rotie Young, so I’m going to admit I’m bad at seeing Northern Rhone future development and leave this unscored. Great acidity and balance, and the 14.5% abv doesn’t show at all on the palate |

2021 Porseleinberg SwartlandSyrah more |
2/14/2024 - ubercuvee wrote: NRI really wanted to enjoy this but I’ve now tried it three different times in both the UK and South Africa with similar notes: Boisenberry and Foynbos on the nose, not showing a lot of cluster influence. On the palate the fruit is ripe and broad but even in a long, cool growing season and only 13.5% ABV, the wine doesn’t have enough acidity to make this refreshing or moreish on the palate. the finish shows raspberry but is quite meaty. Amongst the best South African Syrahs I’d take Lismore Estate Reserve, Sons of Sugarland and Rall’s Ava & Noa single vineyards ahead of this, all at similar or lower pricing. |

1986 Château Rausan-SéglaMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/8/2024 - ubercuvee wrote: NRRan a bottle of Mouton '86 pretty close. Needs 60 minutes in a decanter to show it stuff but there's really nice balance, intensity and just enough fruit to match the structure |

2010 Azienda Agricola San Giuseppe Brunello di Montalcino Stella di Campalto RiservaSangiovese more |
1/24/2024 - ubercuvee wrote: NRSurprisingly big and powerful for a wine from Stella, which is to say still delicate compared to its peers. Reminded me quite a bit of Rayas '09 in its density of powerful spice notes on the palate with a sense of balance, despite showing a fair bit of alcohol. |

1/8/2024 - ubercuvee wrote: NRSQ First Class: just too boozy. 15.5% ABV. Rich, thick and heavy on the nose: smells like melted road tar, tastes like it too. No sense of lightness of refreshment anywhere here, this is like the worst of the Parker era |

2023 Grosset Riesling Polish Hill Clare Valleymore |
1/7/2024 - ubercuvee wrote: NRAnother year, another bottle of the current Polish hill release drunk at Nomad sydney showing surprisingly open for the style. I'd argue the '23 is a bit more traditional (ie acidic) than the '22 but these are showing more fruit in their youth than I remember the new releases 5-10 years ago did |

2020 Hauksson Weine Pinot Noir AlpbergAargau more |
1/2/2024 - ubercuvee wrote: NRServed in Swiss First Class. Fragrant, clearly showing the low-sulphur elevage. Missing nuance and depth, but the 2020 vintage shines here to provide freshness and balance |

2014 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal BrutChampagne Blend more |
12/25/2023 - ubercuvee wrote: NRToo young and I think a notch behind the brilliant 2012 & 2013 in quality. That being said, these recent releases (12/13/14) of Cristal have astonishing purity and I think are pushing the wine in a quality bracket consistently above Dom P/Vintage Krug/Comtes/Grande Dame/Grand Siecle, at least for my palate. Wholesale prices in the UK have fallen 30% from their post-covid bubble peak too... |

12/19/2023 - ubercuvee wrote: NRDon't understand the buzz around this. I thought this showed young but without a lot of complexity or interest compared to Taittinger Comtes, let alone Cristal. Yes it's "cheap" for a prestige cuvee magnum, but IMHO you can do better elsewhere for the $$s 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

NV Leclerc Briant Champagne 150thChampagne Blend more |
12/18/2023 - ubercuvee wrote: NRA lot of hype around this producer and I wanted to like it, but I found some quite bitter root ginger notes on the palate without as much minerality or fruit depth as I'd have wanted to offset it/balance it out. I much preferred a Laherte Grands Crayeres which I drank earlier in the week, which costs about half of what this does. |

12/12/2023 - ubercuvee wrote: NRI didn't decant this and frankly I should have: the last glass was the best as the acidity mellowed and the smoky, gamey notes on the palate intensified. Very much a midweight LaLa but no less pleasurable |

11/24/2023 - ubercuvee wrote: NRMagnum 8/500: Surprisingly unmemorable for what's supposed to be a tiny production late-disgorged Grand Cru only cuvee. The wine was still alive, but there was almost no aromatic complexity. We opened mags of 2010 Dom P and 1998+2002 Dom Ruinart the night before, and all of those were comfortably better than this. |
