2001 Château AngélusSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/4/2011 - PatrikO wrote: 93 points2001 horizontal @ home. Anglus came out on top being the most well balanced and elegant of the line up, beating Montrose, Eglise Clinet, Ornellaia, Montelena and Tore Muga all from the same year. The common feature is how highly extracted and fruit forward all these wines were. Ornellaia was a crowd pleaser and came second followed by Montrose. All wines were tasted blind and funnily enough nobody got more than 3 right, even the tempranilllo based Torre Muga was hard to spot. |

1999 Castello dei Rampolla Sammarco Toscana IGTSuperTuscan Blend more |
3/31/2011 - PatrikO wrote: 93 pointsPrefer this to both Sassicaia from the same year as well as the 97 Sammarco. The fruit is purer both on the nose and in the mouth coupled with very fine silky tannins. |

1990 Château Gruaud LaroseSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/28/2011 - PatrikO wrote: 92 pointsSunday Paella Nice, haven't had a bottle of this for a while. Cigar box, saddle leather, plummy fruits and a bit of Cordier funk. Overall very nice, although I feel the gap to the 82 Gruaud has widened. |

1993 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Riserva MonfortinoNebbiolo more |
3/28/2011 - PatrikO wrote: 93 pointsPort like on the nose, highly extracted, took a while for it to sing, but it did. Very sweet fruit, massive body, still loads of tannins to shed. Great now, but still a baby. |

3/21/2011 - PatrikO wrote: 94 pointsIncredible well rounded and has entered into its prime drinking window, lovely 'busy' mousse, straw gold colour. Fullbodied and expands nicely in the mouth. Fresh acidity that marries nuts, dough and toffee very well. |

1997 Marcassin Chardonnay Hudson VineyardCarneros more |
3/14/2011 - PatrikO wrote: 94 pointsCould have fooled me for being a Le Montrachet from a decent producer. Incredibly rich on the palate displaying honey suckle, acacia flower and citrus fruits, high alcohol 14.4, but very nicely integrated. SAdly only one bottle left. |

2002 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape ReserveGrenache more |
3/8/2011 - PatrikO wrote: 93 pointsLooks like a red Burg in the glass, very light, but with a beautiful nose, really captivating. I would like to echo tomasitos comments, it compensates the lack of power with sheer finess. |

1966 Château PalmerMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/26/2011 - PatrikO wrote: 95 pointsPheasant feast at Elwing's. Yet another perfect bottle, although it was consumed at midnight after numerous previous bottles, it came through nicely with that trademark floral nose. Fruit is holding up well, still some tannins, but they are silky smooth. These bottles have been perfectly stored in a damp Scottish cellar and i think they still have 10 plus years of life ahead. |

2/20/2011 - PatrikO wrote: 91 pointsDrank over three days Verbier. Very new worldly style, highly extracted and with a 15 pct coupon. However the wine is nicely balanced and pulls it off, the fruit is very pure and tannins not too harsh. Nice. |

1/25/2011 - PatrikO wrote: 92 pointsHawksmoor lunch, my last bottle went down well with the grilled squid. Every bottle in this case have been good and it seems to age well, easily 5-10 years more in it. I guess Leeuwins success is the purity of the fruit with not too much oak. |
