1991 Domaine Joël Champet Côte-Rôtie La ViallièreSyrah more |
6/6/2013 - BurgTongue wrote: 92 pointsRare Wine dinner, Woodside, Ca. Rich red color. Pretty nose of rosé pedals, cherries; very Chambolle-like. Fresh, fruit-driven and amazing balance - the red cherry fruit is primary with a long finish with a light acid and little tannins. |

6/6/2013 - BurgTongue wrote: 94 pointsRare Wine Company Dinner, Woodside, CA. - clean and young; bright red color and green pepper nose, meat, with a touch of black tea. Light and airy mouthfeel...waves of acid and fruit across your palate. Finishes with very small, sweet tannins and an impressive acid backbone. |

6/6/2013 - BurgTongue wrote: 95 pointsRare Wine Co Rhone Dinner, Woodside, CA - dark red/violet color. Green olives, creaminess, rare filet mignon with a tension behind the dimensions. Rich mouthfeel and a richness with a meat and olives; first wine finished from flight #1. |

6/6/2013 - BurgTongue wrote: 94 pointsRare wine dinner in Woodside, CA - black olives, grilled meat, mineral/stones on the nose. A bit of bricking in the glass. Impressive balance, energy, and length to the mouthfeel and finish. Long, lean, and a great amount of energy in this wine with chunky, tannins in the mid/back palate. |

1998 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La TâcheLa Tâche Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
12/14/2012 - BurgTongue wrote: 93 pointsVery complex, and still primary, nose of Chinese black sauce and a dark color. More minerality than the '88 La Tache, but I worry there is a little sharpness to the taste I didn't get in the '88. Overall, it seems more complex than the '88, but will it match or beat the '88 in 10 years? |

12/14/2012 - BurgTongue wrote: 93 pointsNose is beautiful - Chinese allspice and black sauce...very loosely wound. Fourth feel is light, complex, and amazingly long - secondary, tobacco, flavors come through. WOTN, but I think the '98 La Tache will eclipse it in 10 years. |

12/14/2012 - BurgTongue wrote: 95 pointsDusty, musty, dry cloth nose that went to fruit ver time. Amazing flavors of raspberry, bramble berry, clove, and a touch of wood. Great balance and a lacy, dancing, finish for 60 seconds...wow. |

12/14/2012 - BurgTongue wrote: 92 pointsAmazing nose - juice-forward...regal, sweet red fruit, light wood, and a very light cinnamon spice on the wonderful nose. The taste is forward and fruit comes first. Wood next and the finish is a bit light and a little dry/acidic. |

12/14/2012 - BurgTongue wrote: 94 pointsGreen apple, acid, and chalk on the nose; long fine finish on the palate too. I have always enjoyed this wine an am happy to see it evolve slowly. Strong wood influence, but enough acid to eat it as time passes. Impressive! |

12/14/2012 - BurgTongue wrote: 90 pointsLight wood Bouchard nose. Round and a bit tropical...yellow mango and round, fleshy style showing the warm year and I think they picked late. Good, not great. |

12/14/2012 - BurgTongue wrote: 91 pointsNose shows oak...needs more time to unwind and eat the wood. Let's pray the premox stays away as it ages. Nose shows lush fruit and a late picking approach to a lean year. On the palate, I get oak, and round red apple flavors. Solid finish without the depth or regal complexity I found in the '99 Marquis de Laguiche Montrachet. |

12/14/2012 - BurgTongue wrote: 95 pointsLight straw color. Regal nose of chalk, wet stone, mineral, an baked green apple. Taste is long and lean...beautiful follow-up to the open knit nose. Solid acid spine that carries the green apple flavors for 30+ seconds. |

2002 Domaine Ponsot Clos St. Denis Vieilles VignesClos St. Denis Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
10/10/2012 - BurgTongue wrote: 94 pointswood still present on the nose when the first glass was poured. That blew off after 30 minutes and primary fruit comes to the front - boysenberry, cranberry, green leaves, white flower, and linen; a feminine nose filled with energy. The taste is mostly front palate at this stage in it's development, but the balance is impressive and the flavors are very clean. The flavors run front-to-back with a light mouthfeel and lingering taste for 30+ seconds...an impressive Clos St Denis that is very young now - want to try it in 10 years time!

8/5/2012 - BurgTongue wrote: 95 pointsThird bottle's the charm - wow. But at 3X the bottle price due to two others showing premox, the good bottle better be rocking. Light straw color and an oily weight and texture. White flowers, green apple, and a touch of popcorn (I mean that lovingly) on the nose. This wine is still opening up and blossoming with depth and wonderful acidity that carries the finish for over 45 seconds...a wow wine when you get a clean bottle! 95+ |

1998 Louis Jadot Bonnes MaresBonnes Mares Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
8/5/2012 - BurgTongue wrote: 92 pointsClean bottle from original wood box - cork shows a history of good care. Cherry/purple red color; deep and clear without any bricking. Expressive, masculine, Bonnes Mares nose that smells of cherries, wood, moss, and soil, no bret problems here. Good energy and a big mid-palate and a long finish; not heavy, but solid flavors come through with mpressive spine/acidity and dusty tannins are alive and well. Overall a very enjoyable Bonnes Mares that's drinking well now - with this balance and acid, I would expect it to age gracefully for several years to come. 92+ points. |

12/18/2011 - BurgTongue wrote: 94 pointsLight raspberry color with a little bricking around the edges. High-pitched cherry nose and a flavor to match. Impressive in that the wine has an excellent acidity and spine present that carries the complex cherry taste through all parts of the mouth. |

12/17/2011 - BurgTongue wrote: 98 pointsAmazing; this wine is fresh, clean, and very much alive. Rich color - violet red with a slight rust color on the edges. Smelling this wine reminds me why we want to let the Grand Crus live a long life before pouring them into a glass...stunning nose full of red flowers, cherries, and asian spices. Clean, light, cherry taste with a tartness and acid that leads up to a mind-blowing finish...wow, this was stored right and wonderful to enjoy at age 45! |
