2004 Rusden Shiraz Black Guts

Barossa Valley more

10/20/2016 - globi Likes this wine: 94 points

Unusual in the sense that the acidity level is very high, and may be off-putting for some. Otherwise, this is a great wine, with some evolution aromas mixing with great fruit.
Could last 10 years more, easily. The nose is fantastic also.

My bottle is obviously very different from other bottles openned recently. Very masculine, very ripe, tannins still very present. Wait 5 to 10 years before openning the next bottle ...

1999 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia

Bolgheri Sassicaia Red Bordeaux Blend more

4/12/2016 - globi Likes this wine: 95 points

What strikes me more on this wine, is the feeling of elegance, and balance.
Great freshness (no alcohol feeling whatsoever).
Some people around the table found it too young. I think on the contrary that it is in a perfect place right now !

2004 Massa Vecchia Aleatico

Maremma Toscana more

4/12/2016 - globi Likes this wine: 93 points

Drank a little too late. Aromas are starting to fade away a little. Still a very nice bottle, with bright red fruit, and not too much sugar for an aleatico. The previous bottle a few years ago way better.

2000 Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Cuvée Lucie

Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir more

4/12/2016 - globi Likes this wine: 96 points

One of the three or four best burgundy (a Claude Dugat charmes chambertin may have been even better) I had the chance to drink, and for sure the best Lignier.

Perfect maturity, but could be drunk in 5 or 10 years easily.

Still lots of (mainly) red fruit, but some secondary aromas as well. Length it top notch, and is even topped by the silkiness of the mouth feel.

1998 Pol Roger Champagne Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill

Champagne Blend more

Simply put, one of three 3 or four best champagnes I have ever drunk.
Virtually perfect on the power/richness as well as on the elegance side. Just perfect now. Fully mature. Incredible complexity of aromas.

Reminiscent of a good marsanne-roussane blend, with a bit less "oomph!"
Enough acidity, but just enough.

2/14/2016 - globi Likes this wine: 90 points

for some people, this could be overwelmmingly acidic. for me, its not the case, it just brings some dynamism in the attack of the wine.
Precisely at the right time to drink. The aromatics are textbook aged northern rhône.
tip: Surprisingly good with cheese (brie de melun), which is unusual for a red wine.

2004 Cappellano Barolo Piè Rupestris Otin Fiorin (Gabutti)

Nebbiolo more

2/13/2016 - globi Likes this wine: 92 points

a little bit young. tannins could be more elegant (i know its barolo, it will never be super smoth ..). Decant several hours. or wait 5 years.

Otherwise, very good wine indeed.

2009 Clai Malvazija Istarska Sveti Jakov

Zapadna Istra more

2/4/2016 - globi Likes this wine: 90 points

Not for everybody. Share lots of common points with orange wines from friuli. Maybe a little bit more acidity than usualy seen in those italian wines. Still it's 14.5, so drinking temperature is very important to the final experience. Very complex, nose and mouth. A multitude of dried fruits (esp. apricot), orange peel, and so on. Not very elegant, but so intriguing ! Length is only average.

perfectly ripe (which is even more important for a loire cab. franc). Fruit is pure, good quality of tannins. A joy to drink now, and for at least 10 years. Fantastic QPR.

On the nose, honey and apples are obvious. great balance, there is a feeling of ligthness to this wine that makes it so easy to drink. Good minerality on the palate too.

Wood is still present, but in a good way (i.e. not destroying the fruit), as a previous review said already.
Complex, fresh (for a condrieu), and very very easy to drink.
