2008 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale

Pinot Noir more

Still pretty young, yet dense with sweet cherries nose. The wine is still tight but will be pretty enjoyable within a couple of years. The 2007 now is a lot more ready to drink

Just got the wine today, decided to pop one. Venturi and decant for about 10 minutes. The nose was pretty nice, perfumed and tobacco & smoke. Really lean and light un-balanced palate. Not very pleasant to drink. More than half left for tomorrow. will see ; 87 for 1st day

Opened for 3 hour before we first pour. Deep nice ruby with a surprisingly gentle nose than expected. The wine got better with air and became more powerful. Creamy, caramelize with smooth oak, vanilla. Fine and delicate sweet tannin, along with Shafer Hillside Select, this wine stood up nicely. Long lasting aftertaste. This wine showed how important the winemaking is as important as having good raw materials....

Very nice and I really loved it. Is it reasonable for it's price, who knows?????

2006 Sine Qua Non Syrah Raven Series

Central Coast more

Sine Qua Non never disappoint me. Again with this 2006 Raven Syrah offer a dense, thick nose of blackberries, blueberries with fine caramel, vanilla. Ridiculously delicious, big in mouth but non alcohol detected.
Big and killing finish, far better and accessible than the 06 Raven Grenache had 2 weeks before

Big and young. Had it with Shabu Shabu. Decanted through Venturi, Deep red ruby in color. Offers the scent of crushed blackberries, cassis, figs. Tasteful wine with spice & herbs. a little saltiness came out of nowhere. Surprisingly balanced and accessible. VeRy smooth and very good. Wow!!! what a great QPR. What a reasonably priced wine from Angelo that can be found in Bangkok.

Too young? Of Course!!!!!!!!

2006 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet

Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay more

7/11/2009 - loverboy wrote: 95 points

Light golden yellow. Pop and pour, the wine need lots of airing time. The wine was very young and tight at first with muted nose. I tends to have white burgs not too cold so I always took it out of the ice bucket and let it warm down a little. Doing that I finds it gives you aromas while not spoil its freshness. The wine opens up with nutty scents, white flowers, deep sweet nose ( reminds me of Thai's sweets ). This is an approachable but full-bodied wine with one of the most delicious feel in mouth I've ever tasted from white burgs. Good finish but not memorable.

2006 Sea Smoke Pinot Noir Southing

Sta. Rita Hills more

First nose of ripe pinot, very new world. Gets better with times. Dark pinot in color, black fruit, very oaky,. Very yummy in mouth, full bodied wine that can pair with big food. The only downside was the noticeable alcohol when you smell the wine.

2005 Château Mouton Rothschild Aile D'Argent Blanc

Bordeaux Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more

8/12/2008 - loverboy wrote: 93 points

Completely shut down right off, probably due to the "too cold" stage , or not enough air time. After an hour or so, the wine kicks off nicely, aroma of vanilla, creame, strong honey. The most interesting part is that the wine is so powerful, full bodied with huge finish in the mouth though a bit bitter in the end, may be too young . Nicely done, and will definitely get better and better

Open 2 hours prior to drink. Nice deep ruby red with plenty red fruits along with fine oak and cherry. Surprisingly forward at this very moment. Structured and balanced. Will be very intersting to see how this wine will develop in the next 2 decades. very very good QPR especially for 2005, will need to cellar more of it !!! Yummy stuff.

2005 Harlan Estate The Maiden

Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more

9/2/2009 - loverboy wrote: 90 points

Open 12 hours before drinking. May be I was wrong about the opening time, 12 hours is way too much for this Maiden.
When drinking CA Cab, I always looking for american oak, caramelize and intense aroma which is what I love about it, but this too long opened Maiden didn't deliver what I was looking for at least for the 1st half of the bottle. It displayed opaque color with greeny nose with spices all over the place, black fruits, tasted blind and other thought of good Italian wine instead of CA cab. Big and harsh in mouth. The 2nd glass was a huge step up, the Maiden is back in shape, caramel, vanilla, and creamy stuff recovered and I quite enjoyed it. I think this big cult wine is to be enjoyed as it was made for. Open for 12 hours was a very bad idea.

1/3/2010 - loverboy wrote: 92 points

Harlan Estate wine dinner (Harvey , Bangkok, Thailand): My 2nd bottle of this wine. Big and lust, with the most CA cab of the night. Very young with dark purple color. Nose blackberry, cedar, creamy caramel. Big in mouth with big tannins but sweet. Rugged and should be laid down for a long long time. The wine fade pretty fast both in terms of the nose and in mouth.

2005 Sine Qua Non Syrah Atlantis Fe2O3~1a, b & c

Central Coast more

9/14/2008 - loverboy wrote: 98 points

Opened 3 hours before consumed. Impressive first nose of dense Rhone but with fresher , bigger. Seamless wine that keeps go on and on, changing and developing all night long. Exotic fruit scent, blueberry, leather, forest floor. The most exciting part for me is the taste, it's very unique and big delicious wine. Super aftertaste. One of the best wine I've had. Totally agree with others' notes that it just keeps getting better and better after swirling and swirling. It just never fade in glass. Magnificent work by Krankl !!
Had it with 1999 Henschke Shiraz Hill of Grace and 2002 Greenock Creek Shiraz Roennfeldt Road. It'd surpassed both.

2005 Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more

7/14/2008 - loverboy wrote: 95 points

As dense and dark as anyone would've expected. Big tannic monster built to last for decades. Very fruity nose of blackcurrant, cassis, ripe fruits. Tannins keep building up with times. Massive in the mouth, Mouton style which is drinkable now but certainly will offer much more in the future. LONG finish which last more than a minute. Truely great wine which I would give 95 now and will definitely merits more point with time.

Big dense wine. Offer dark chocolate and getting thicker as time goes by. Now probably is in the stage that merlot has dominated the wine. Forget about it and bury it in you the cellar for a while

A big and very young dominus. Very French oriented considering it's from Napa. Black fruits with minerals, damp stone, herbs. Very ripe and still tannic. Very young and should be untouched for a long long time.
