2000 Château Palmer
5/10/2024 - drjb Likes this wine: 96 Points
Private Dinner, The Brisbane Club. This wine opened beautifully with a persistent deep crimson colour and a scented nose of blackcurrant, blueberry, dark cherry, violets and cedar. The palate reflects the aromatics of the nose with a spherical impression of rich fruits and floral notes balanced by a long fine spine of gossamer tannins and persistent touches of cedar and dark chocolate. There is lovely purity and balance here with that touch of opulent merlot that makes the best Palmers so desirable and individual.

2009 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron
4/27/2024 - drjb Likes this wine: 96 Points
Another delicious bottle of this wine which opened with a deep crimson robe of colour and a rich nose of blackcurrants, garnet plums, fruit cake, cedar and dark chocolate. The palate initially is rich and round with an initially deceptive glossiness that with time in the glass developed classic Paulliac austerity and line to match the layers of fruit. There's a touch of 82 about this wine suggesting that time will highlight the structure and complexity of this alongside the delicious fruit characters.
