Almost white in color with lots of pear and apple on the nose. Also subtle hints of cranberries. Not as sweet as I was expecting, which was nice, but not overly complex either. Honeysuckle, melon, and green apple dominate the body. Medium to long finish. Excellent QPR! — 8 years ago

Domaine Leroy

Les Cazetiers Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1949

Vintage 1949 in Burgundy according to Broadbent: “..most perfect end of a decade - elegant, well-balanced wines”; Clive Coates in his book Cote D'Or: "best vintage of 40's all-perfect beauty and purity”; Robert M. Parker Jr.: “it was the best of post world war II vintages before 1959”
Henri Leroy at that time was négociant based in Auxey-Duresses, his mythical daughter Lalou Bize-Leroy in 1949 was only seventeen.
Les Cazetiers is amongst the most elevated of Premier Cru site in Gevrey-Chambertin - and indeed the whole of Burgundy.
I drank this precious bottle on Mount Etna with #FrankCornelissen and other dear friends. Uncork this bottle lead to a surgical operation. Just begun to pull it out, a light breath of wine molecule with air bubbles magically have emerged on the surface of the cork. It's been like witness the passing away of a dying old man (or Pinot Noir must be a woman?) That humanized wine had held "élan vital", hope and breath inside him for the last 66 years! A miracle of a wine still so tasty, robust, citrusy, vibrant, earthy, incredibly alive and well-preserved despite color and neck level did not bode so well.. that's what I thought and I'll remember until I die: "the wine was waiting for us to drink it up, he gave off his mortal blow to offer us life, joy and smile!"

Woodlands

Shelley Anne Woodlands Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Continuing with the Langtons Classification tasting of the Best Australian Wines in the Outstanding Category. This Woodlands Cuvée always named after a Family member is their best expression of Cabernet. I have been buying 6 bottles every year since 2007. In the Wilyabrup dress circle over the road from Moss Wood and close to Cullen and Vasse Felix. Always one of the best in Margaret River. Just noticed @Delect Able that the 2010 is Heather Jean not ShelleyAnne. — 8 years ago

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 1966

66 La Mish has so much aromatics. I could just smell this all night. Black fruits, graphite, cedar, leather, black olive, soy, cigar box, eucalyptus. This is med bodied with good weight and long finish. I have been drinking this vintage for a long time and this 50 yr old wine is drinking much younger than its age and has been fully mature but has not declined. Consistent notes over the past years. — 10 years ago
