2020 Coudert Fleurie Clos de la Roilette Gamay

9/3/2022 - strawbo Does not like this wine:

Cooked and way too warm in its style for my taste. Flawed?

2012 Domaine Dujac Morey St. Denis Pinot Noir

Nose with iron, hint of blood and cherries. After 3-4 hours of air the fruit was also appearing quite nicely on the palate. Well balanced, stringent, elegant.

2003 Maison Leroy Bourgogne Pinot Noir

was hard to believe this was a 14yr old wine. colour was super bright, nose matched that. fruit was a bit muted on the palate but was still very good. cork was almost soaked through and the side of the cork was corroded, seemed odd but the wine was fine.

2006 Castello di Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggio Chianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese

Lovely nose with vanilla, amarena cherries and summerday on the heath.
On the palate the amarena cherries are let loose together with very well controlled tannins and perfect acidity.

2005 Argiano Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

Fresh blackberries, cherries and a bit of moist cellar on the nose. On the palate blackberries, leather and something mineral, that I can't quite pinpoint. Quite powerful tannins, nicely balanced with acid. So far the 2003 and 2004 Argianos had me more impressed, but with this one it's as if there's something really good lurking around the corner. I just can't get to it quite yet. Maybe a year or two in the cellar will do it?

Let it air for a at least a couple of hours and definitely don't serve it too warm.
