Terra Laura
Cour-Cheverny Romorantin 2010
One of the better Cour-Cheverny wines I've tasted: a statement that says everything but also nothing. Less unpleasantly oxidative than Daridan, more interesting than de Montcy and Cazin and at much frendlier price than Henri Marionnet. For the money I think this is the best that's out there-- Golden apple skin, celery, tarragon. — 12 years ago

There was a library release of Renaissances a few years ago, including '95s and '96es. If you can get your hands on them, they are sensational wines. In their youth they can be a little cloying though, I agree.
I'll definitely have to seek those out. Sounds spectacular.
Within the last year or so, I saw them at Nice Matin and Bathazar for under $100. Not exactly the sort of thing that flies off a shelf.

Vineyard Georges III Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
another two years since I opened the other bottle certainly mellowed this beast out. — 12 years ago

Domaine L'Oustal Blanc (Isabel et Claude Fonquerle)
Prima Donna Minervois-La Livinière Red Rhone Blend 2014
A heavy hitter at 15%, almost new world-ish with big fruit. But smoooove... — 12 years ago
The app got the vintage wrong - it's 2011.

2007 nose is so intriguing. Leather, dark dark blue fruit, funky earth. Chalky tannins, at 2007, it's still super young. Nice with lamb chops, a great future. Patience req'd. — 11 years ago
