Château Tour Grand Faurie

Claude Dugat

Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1996

Incredibly dense nose. Toasty and intense fruit. Really lush dark blue and red berry with a deep undertow of savory, forestry notes- almost new world in mouthfeel. Very pure and powerful. A tour de force. What fruit!... deep and long — 7 years ago

1996 - always have been a fan of Dugat. Black in color with plenty of extraction and flavor - in no way over the top. So much fruit that it would have been hard to say this was 96 as the acidity was very well integrated. Mouth coating and full with excellent persistence and length. Very good!

Château La Tour du Pin

Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

I had a bottle of this wine a while ago and it was spectacular: 94pts. The second, which I drank a few weeks ago, was very good, but not as good as the first one, but still pretty decent: 90 pts. On average 92. A fine claret by the owners of Cheval Blanc. — 8 years ago

Wow. Broad, very minerally, much more elegance. Excellent balance, breed, character. One of the stars of Jura. Long length. Like a Grand Cru Chablis/Montrachet cross with a nutty Jura twist. Awesome. — 10 years ago

Servitude Volontaire du Chateau La Tour Carnet Grand Cru Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Special bottling from Chateau La Tour Carnet for its 2005 Vintage, dark purple burgundy in color, smell of red fruit, plum, and raspberry. Decanted for two hours before pouring, taste of sour cherry and black berry. Still taste lots of fruit, fine tannin with smooth finish, full body with a medium to long finish. — 12 years ago

Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2006

Tasted at the end of the Taittinger cellar tour - incredible! The extended lees aging really comes through on the pallet, rich and a little buttery. Also sees 5% oak aging for two weeks — 8 years ago

Château de La Tour

Clos Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2007

2007 vintage. Vieilles Vignes. Medium brick garnet hue. Herbal, white flower, white pepper, earthy and forest floor. Very attractive nose. On the palate, great balance of fruit and tannins - tight grain. Herbal character to the fore, black currant and slight mint. Good length. Ready to drink now as I think the fruit is starting to dry out. — 10 years ago
