8/14/2009 - mpemulis wrote: 77 pointsJust got around to drinking this - should have opened it way sooner. Definitely past it's prime - very soft with no good bite or sparkle to it. I can tell it had potential though. Oh well. |

2000 Elyse Petite Sirah Rutherfordmore |
4/17/2007 - mpemulis wrote: 84 pointsA nice wine, but fairly generic. There's nothing specifically wrong with it, but there's also nothing to recommend it either. In fact I'd say that it lacks a distinctive Petite Sirah flavor - it comes across as more of a "California red wine." |

2004 Olivier Jouan Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Les Ruchots Vieilles VignesPinot Noir more |
1/28/2007 - mpemulis wrote: 93 pointsObviously drunk very young but wow, delicious. Started drinking it with food but it proved to be a bit bright and competitive. Finished the last half of the bottle on it's own and it really began to shine after being opened for about 2 hours. Would have saved but it was brought for a birthday party (mine!) and everyone wanted to drink. |

2003 Château Fleur CardinaleSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/22/2006 - mpemulis wrote: 92 pointsIt's definitely young, but this is a very enjoyable wine. Decanted in the middle of the afternoon and started drinking several hours later - very nice. We bought a case of this with the idea to hold it for several years but I'm not sure how many are going to make it that long. ;-) |

12/13/2006 - mpemulis wrote: 90 pointsI enjoyed this bottle. I'm not a merlot person at all. Received this in one of the wine-club shipments a few months back and decided to open it. Very tasty, a little lean at first but opened up nicely. Not very complex but very enjoyable. |

2003 Château Fleur CardinaleSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/16/2006 - mpemulis wrote: 92 pointsVery delicious. Needs to decant for a while - which you wouldn't necessarily realize at first. It's not tight exactly, but out of the bottle it's just not at its best. |

2003 Tandem PelotonCalifornia Red Blend more |
10/13/2006 - mpemulis wrote: 85 pointsWhat a strange wine. It's enjoyable, but it's just weird on the tongue. I guess the blend works, but I don't think I'd want to drink it very often. It's interesting to sample it. Probably would be a good wine in a group to generate discussion. |
