Patio Chilling at Tilia (Tilia, Mpls): Medium gold color. Drank a glass from 375 ml over 30 minutes plus. Geez, these '05's continue to drink well across the board. This was much brighter and more vibrant the my '06 that we drank along side. Both were good in their own way, but I adore the brightness here and lift. Very fresh, white flowers, peach and tangerine and pineapple, spiced, elegant and well balanced.

Drank my last 2 bottles of 18 I bought from Sherry Lehman in 1996 for 16.95 and 18.95. Both excellent fine nose color and flavors.

Couleur ruby peu opaque et très peu tuilée. Très beau nez de petits fruits, mais peu présent en bouche. Un nez d'écurie aussi à l'ouverture. Décanté dans un canard 30-45 minutes, le fruit est beaucoup plus présent en bouche. Tannins perceptibles au début mais complètement estompés après le décantage. Très courte finale on esprérait mieux. On peu le considéré léger. Possiblement passé son pic de forme.

2/12/14, 7:42 AM - just a suggestion that I also give to other non English posters. I understand the natural wish to post in your native language but since probably 99% of the readers post in English why not follow your post in French with one in English so that the rest of us can enjoy your message.

English (and probably only 10 % read French) why not follow your French post with an English one so that the majority of us may enjoy your message.

Zuid-Afrika proeverij met de Dordtse wijnclub (Bij Peter thuis): Helder lichtgeel, iets groene tint. Stuivend in de neus met citrusfruit, kruisbes, gras en napoleon-snoepjes. Fris zuur. Bittertje in de vrij lang aanhoudende afdronk.

2/8/14, 5:54 AM - strikermax...your note was the only post on this SA sauvignon blanc. and actually I don't know how to use google translate on this kind of board. I'm going to S Africa next Oct-Nov and will have 5 days in the wine country near the cape, so I'm tasting SA wines ahead of time.
nytiger commented:

2/8/14, 6:41 AM - Thanks
nytiger commented:

2/8/14, 12:22 PM - Strikermax... I have an idea. You prefer to write in your native language, which is natural, but since your English is excellent, why not double your notes. First in Dutch, since then continue in English for the rest of us.

2/8/14, 1:31 PM - It's a big trip. Cape town 3, Stellenbosch 2, Franschoek 2, Hermanus 2, Kynesa 2, overnight train to JNBerg, 1 night to drive to Kruger, Kruger (Sabisands) 8, to Vic Falls 1, overnight in Vic Falls 1, Botswana 8 (4 in delta and 4 Chobe) then home. I read that the whole route from Capetown to Knesa is one wine area after another, so that will be great. I'll look up your friend if I can.

Not a bad wine IF you can get past the offensive nose.

nytiger commented:

7/11/13, 3:26 PM - if everyone else is scoring it near 90, and you've got a 75 it's obviously a spoiled bottle and you shouldn't score it. Comments on it of course are appropriate

Corked

nytiger commented:

6/4/13, 4:46 AM - there is no reason to score corked wines, doing so changes the average score dramatically without giving any expectation of what one might expect with an average bottle
