Château Grand Corbin-Despagne

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

The nose is different. Much more woodsy and less fruit than I’d have imagined. The flavour profile was blackberry based and again, some wood. Some eucalyptus and green grass. Also some wet soil and cloves. The tannins weren’t a punch in the face by any means, but also haven’t haven’t completely softened as you might expect in a ten year-old. The palate was uninspiring as there was a watery-ness in the mid palate. I’m not sure whether this is over the hill or just not quite there yet and in a dumb phase? Will wait and see for the final two bottles. Solid, I guess. Not yet amazing. — 7 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

Romanée-Conti Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1966

Tasted blind. Old wine color. Reddish light brown, thin and translucent. Notes of cherries, cola, earth, a little wood and some rhubarb. With more air this gained complexity and added salt and rose petals to its bouquet. At the end of the evening it had a nice richness too. But compared to a 66 DRC GE we had in the past year, there was consensus this must have had some issues with storage or handling at some point. Was really good but not the "Wow" we expected. — 8 years ago

2011 disgorgement . Very saline, tidal pool nose. Tight and strong, mini gravel, old piny wood. Big, expansive, long. Dominating finish. Really good. Very much like champagne no matter what they say. — 12 years ago

Chateau Grand Traverse

Dry Riesling 2017

This bone-dry Michigan Riesling is a mineral-driven wine. Light golden in color, it has a nose of citrus peel and a wet driveway. The aromas aren't terribly complex, but as Spencer Tracy said, “What’s there is cherce.” On the palate there are flavors of lemon and lime with a chalky minerality. Acidity is almost racy, certainly zippy enough to handle a sandwich or salad. The finish is lengthy and reminiscent of an older vintage Riesling, quite nice. — 8 years ago

Poured a medium yellow-gold color (looked like a 4-5 year old Chardonnay), initially lots of SO2 that blew off in 5-10 minutes, amazing depth, minerality, cut, more than sufficient acidity to carry this 10+ more years, really pretty much a perfect bottle of Les Clos!!! — 8 years ago

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé

Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Musigny Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1990

Tawny red color. Not the nose you would expect for a Pinot. More old Italian like. Notes of tea, maraschino cherries, roses, dry earth and some wood. Nice in the mouth and grabs your attention. Lighter fruit matched against still vibrant acidity. Puckering structure. I’d like to say this needs more time but the fruit has evolved to a point where I don’t know if this will be all that better in 5 yrs. Have had better experiences with this one. Still, the quality of the wine is evident, especially with more air (5+ hrs) over the evening. — 8 years ago
