Grenache more

The hallmark elegance of the vintage shines through. I like it. Very kirsch on the nose.

1990 Château Gruaud Larose

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more

9/29/2013 - Ive Marx wrote: 95 points

One of my best bottles. Absolutely great nose, but lacking a bit of refinement on the palate (that said it was served next to the likes of Latour and Margaux '83..)

2003 Domaine Saint Préfert Châteauneuf-du-Pape Collection Charles Giraud

Red Rhone Blend more

2/27/2013 - Ive Marx wrote: 90 points

Has evolved relatively well for the vintage but the imbalances that are the hallmark of the vinrage are there. But for the vintage it is a good wine that is still alive.

Red Rhone Blend more

2/27/2013 - Ive Marx Does not like this wine: 50 points

Kept since release. Not corked, not cooked (I assume), just awful.

2004 Agostina Pieri Brunello di Montalcino

Sangiovese more

1/20/2013 - Ive Marx Likes this wine: 94 points

Young, vigourous with delicious complex nose (sousbois, mushrooms but also red fruit). Balanced expressive palate with juicy ripe fruit, excellent acidity. Good stuff.

Red Rhone Blend more

Remains reletively closed. Not a particularly good time to open. Excellent fruit in terms of ripeness, purity and freshness. Quite powerful. Give at least 2 more years.

2002 Coche-Dury Meursault Les Rougeots

Chardonnay more

1/2/2013 - Ive Marx wrote: 93 points

Coche nose - rich, with a good deal of depth and complexity, but a bit subdued. Palate very rich and vibrant. With a more expressive nose the score would have been higher.

1999 Domaine Drouhin-Laroze Clos Vougeot

Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir more

12/25/2012 - Ive Marx wrote: 84 points

In line with earlier bottles. Not bad, but for the terroir and the vintage disappointing. A wasted opportunity really. Luckily this sort of mediocrity is on the decline in Burgundy.

2000 Château Sociando-Mallet

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more

12/25/2012 - Ive Marx wrote: 94 points

Entering maturity. Excellent fruit and balance, with exemplary tension between fruit, acidity and tannins. It combines the lushness of the vintage and the relatively austerse style of the house. I actually liked this quite a lot.

2003 Ojai Syrah White Hawk Vineyard

Santa Barbara County more

4/9/2012 - Ive Marx wrote: 92 points

Very syrah. Very expressive nose with burnt notes, coffee, tar. Palate follows through on that. Excellent fruit but also a bit heavy and jammy for my taste.

Not sure what was wrong about this. Not corked (I think), not cooked (I think), but just very muted. To be revisited.
