5/4/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 93 pointsDense, brooding, still lots of tannins, very good aromatics though with forest floor, farmyard. Complex, like a Morey Pinot. I liked this a lot. Best after 2028 |

2019 Domaine Croix Duplex Calamin Grand CruChasselas more |
4/25/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: NRFirst decent Chasselas I had in my life. Not as limpy and with RS as the off the mill ones. This Grand Cru has appropriate acidity - in the context of Chasselas of course. There is also lovely stone fruit, some green apples, herbs and minerals. Reminded me a bit of a GruVe. |

2017 Gantenbein ChardonnayFläsch more |
4/25/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 95 pointsBest showing so far of Gantenbein's Chardonnay. This was top start to finish, reminded me of a Corton Charlemagne. Beautiful nose of ripe lemon with touch of vanilla and oak. Enters the body medium-full bodied with tons of acidity to support it. Long, sappy finish. |

2011 Egly-Ouriet Champagne Grand Cru VPChampagne Blend more |
6/28/2023 - Collector1855 wrote: 95 pointsDG 01/2019, 78m. on lees, so base vintage should be 2011. Discrete nose with, after a bit of swirling, complex aromas of bruised apples, almonds, pear, cake, spices. Rich palate, low dosage feeling, very much in the grower style, banking on ripe fruit and not dosage and giving a phenolic, earthy, dry palate feeling. Definitely foe food, not aperitif. |

NV Veuve Clicquot Champagne Demi-SecChampagne Blend more |
4/21/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 84 pointsSweet, there is acidity, but predominantly it tastes sweet (Dosage 45g). Citrus, candy floss, low complexity. Not sure where I would use this product, may be to mix into a summer party bowl? But then again, it is too expensive for this, Prosecco will do. Stand alone, this Champagne it does not remotely have the complexity and sappyness of a Riesling Spätlese or Chenin Moelleux for example. So, why bother then with a drink that has 800 kcal/l, twice as much as Coke. |

4/21/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 95 pointsBase 2016, DG 07/20. A bit of bottle age did do well for this Cru. Right from the start, beautiful nose of stone fruit, melon, spices. Rich palate with very good freshness and complexity, low dosage finish with good phenolics. |

2000 Château Pape ClémentPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/19/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: flawed30 years of wine collecting and tasting, but this was a novelty. Believe it or not, there was a wasp in this bottle. Here is the story: This is one of my favorite Bordeaux and I have plenty of 2000 Pape-Clement in my cellar, so I know exactly how it tastes. I opened this bottle and it as strangely tannic, earthy with compressed aromas. Hmm, I thought, but since there are bottle variations with older wines, I decided to decant it. Once I finished decanting I saw a big piece of "cork" swimming on top of the decanter. After I poured that piece of "cork" into a glass to remove it, I noticed that it was a wasp, not cork. Wow, what a freak accident. I will keep the wasp to tell the story and next time I visit the Chateau. :-) Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

4/18/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 94 pointsBeautiful nose with ripe yuzu lemon, oak spice. This is quite rich and broad, as typical for the 2016 vintage. Unctuous, Grand Cru Level mouth feel, medium complexity. Luckily the acidity is there to support the pillowey palate. |

2018 Quinta da Alorna Tejo Reserva das PedrasFernão Pires more |
4/12/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 92 pointsOff winebar list. Fernao Pires aka Maria Gomes grape variety. Medium-deep lemon color, I was a little apprehensive that the wine would be too rich and sunny. Not at all. Discrete now, one the palate, fresh lemon with good mid mouth presence and a lot of freshness. Mineralic. Blind I woul dhave struggled to place this. |
