2012 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-MontrachetChardonnay more |
4/24/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NRA bit reticent to start, but with air opens out nicely and becomes a classic Puligny, plenty of structure & extract, rich but kept in focus by the acidity and mineral edge, kept improving over an hour or so, an excellent wine if you can avoid the pox |

2002 Domaine Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St. JacquesPinot Noir more |
4/24/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NROh hello ! Lovely nose of classic slightly old school burgundy, but all that extraction and oak has melded beautifully into the dark cherry 2002 fruit, the vineyard keeps the fruit cool and stylish, nice evolution and fruit balance, really lovely and totally in the zone for pleasure now |

4/24/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NRGetting fully mature now, complex and fairly rich Pinot fruit but still plenty of freshness and energy. Stem ginger and ripe stone fruits, excellent length, really hit this in a great spot |

2015 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Meursault 1er Cru Les PoruzotsChardonnay more |
4/21/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NRYoung and powerful, but without much weight, plenty of extract here that coats the mouth and leaves an endless finish. 13.5% on the label, but does have a little heat on the end, opens out more on day 2 |

2007 Olivier Leflaive Meursault 1er Cru Les PerrièresChardonnay more |
4/14/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NRBeautifully mature, opens up more with air, getting quite golden in colour, it’s rich but with a good mineral side and well judged acidity, the finish is really long and satisfying, a lovely bottle of wine |

4/9/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NRDouble decanted at 3pm and drunk around 8 or 9pm. Quite light and bright for the vintage and still with plenty of sharp tannins on display, better with food but still some time to go for my taste |

2019 Jose Antonio Garcia Bierzo Valtuille de Abajo, Vino de VillaMencía more |
4/6/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NRDarker and a bit fuller than the 18, the nose is still bursting with fresh red and dark berries, the palate puts some structure around the fruit, and over time 5he tannins push their way through the juicy berry fruit, another year or so should meld them together more, but no crime to drink now, especially with food |

2012 Felton Road Pinot Noir Cornish PointCentral Otago more |
4/1/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NRIn quite a good spot, still with good dark berry fruit but with some lovely savoury development, soft leather, some Middle Eastern spice, medium acidity, I’d like a little more tbh and a good long finish |

2017 Tiberio Trebbiano d'Abruzzo Fonte Canalemore |
3/31/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NRMedium gold colour, lovely nose of orange blossom and ripe orchard fruits, the palate has a lot of acidity which is a little over bearing, it looks mature but i think it needs more time and hopefully the fruit will keep up |

NV Palmer & Co Champagne Blanc de BlancsChardonnay more |
3/28/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NR2007 vintage, needs a little air to open up fully. Nice toasty maturity here to mix with the creamy orchard fruit, really a lovely wine, in its prime and I’d love to know if it develops more with time. |

3/27/2024 - kingkanu wrote: flawedSmells decent on opening, when tasted there’s a noticeable spritz as if it’s fermented again in bottle, with air some brett also develops, tart and very disappointing |

3/22/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NRLovely bright ruby at the core but there’s a fair amount of bricking at the edge now, medium body. Nicely mature nose, spice and cherries mixed with a little nail polish remover. Fresh cherry and leather on the palate with a few fine tannins to finish |

3/9/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NRMedium to light body, some bricking at the edges a lovely nose with some evolution mixing with the cherry fruit. The palate has lots of freshness and is cherry fruit driven with some damp leaf mould starting to appear. A lovely village wine, probably drinking at peak now and no signs of tiring |

3/8/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NRJust about medium body, blackcurrant fruit and leaf, some green bell pepper, that mix of black fruit and green is really appealing, maybe a little dry on the finish and maybe more time will fix that |

3/8/2024 - kingkanu wrote: NRDouble decanted off the sediment. Medium light body, bricking eating into the wine but it still has a bright ruby red core. Plenty of cherry fruit, a touch of dried orange peel and tobacco, the structure is still strong, a real vertical presence and a fair few fine tannins.very impressive at this age, the bottle, label, capsule all looked in pristine condition. |
