N.V. Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée Champagne Blend

7 year old Grande Cuvee. Walnut, biscuits, coconuts. Plenty oxidative notes. Drinking well but also a bit boring to be honest. I need my champagne young and fresh and this is showing too old for me.

2009 Domaine Dublère Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds Pinot Noir

i think i'm missing something here. the acid seemed to be overwhelming. the fruit was more harsh than smooth; and for me this wine was disjointed and left me with a sour look on my face. granted, this wine opened up a bit and improved over time (most young wines do); but where was the exuberant expression of fruit that i normally associate with 2009 red burgs? where was the velvety mouth feel that i expect from volnay? ok so perhaps a young taillepieds can be a bit rough when young, but this rough? can only hope it gets better...

2012 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault Clos de la Barre Chardonnay

11/6/2015 - dansamsoe wrote:

A big bruising meursault. Citrus, oak, a bit angular. not really in balance right now. Saved a third for the next day which showed much better.

2011 Domaine Roulot Monthélie Pinot Noir

Not much going on here. Almost nothing on the nose and a bit hard and acidic on the palate.

3/1/15, 8:02 AM - You are probably right. Most 2011 reds seem quite open now, but not this one I guess.

1996 Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut La Grande Dame Champagne Blend

5/11/2014 - dansamsoe Does not like this wine:

Weak. Surprising young with lot of acidity and structure but on the other hand also oxidative notes of hazelnuts. It's not really exciting or in balance. A bit of vanilla biscuit also. Given the oxidative notes, I can't really see this improving into something memorable.

dansamsoe commented:

5/11/14, 10:33 AM - No the bottle wasn't flawed in anyway and it has been kept in good condition since release. But there is always bottle variation of course.
