2014 Château d'Armailhac Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Pure Pauillac pleasure - mid-weight, which is perfect.. graphite and blackcurrant.. so ready to drink... zero point holding this any more. Not necessarily complex or layered, but so tasty and absolutely correct.

2004 Bollinger Champagne La Grande Année Champagne Blend

Good, but showing excessive ageing
V biscuity, beyond where all the other great 2004s are.

sooper65 commented:

8/14/16, 10:13 AM - indeed, very perfect.
Bollinger just didn't nail it like everyone else in 2004.. well, that remains my opinion anyhow

2003 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut Champagne Blend

7/20/2015 - Elvis1969 Does not like this wine:

85 points

I have tasted around 20 different vintages of Krug and this is probably the worst vintage wine Krug ever released. Strange on the nose, bitter finish. This is not even good.

Tasted next to Krug 1996, 1998 and 2000. All others were great but not the 2003.

9/6/15, 2:41 AM - Alas, whilst I hate myself for this, I am in total agreement. This 2003 is barely equal to Moët NV

1996 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

Just bought a case at auction today.
Massive, powerful, marvelous flavors with a longlasting finish. Sorry I don't have anything more helpful to others, but I was enjoying a nice meal with my ladyfriend and not paying too much attention to details of the wine!

2000 Château Malescot St. Exupéry Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend

5/18/2013 - Saint-Julien wrote:

Mature nose. Not my favourite style and a worryingly green streak throughout. Searing tannins. I don't see this improving.

sooper65 commented:

6/2/13, 11:46 AM - Green streak? Alex, this is the acidity. Malescot 2000 is wonderfully ripe. Best decant for 6 hours minimum next time you crack open a bottle!

2008 Fattoria Poggio di Sotto Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese

1/26/2013 - drwine2001 wrote:

Three Vintages of Poggio di Sotto Rosso di Montalcino (Dig Wines, San Francisco): Medium red. Nice mix of lighter red fruit and soil in a light package. No sense of underripeness or dilution. I wouldn't pay $70 for it, but a good effort for a lackluster vintage.

sooper65 commented:

2/3/13, 11:38 AM - 2008 is far from a lacklustre vintage in Montalcino, my friend. In fact it is joyous.
