Hay Maker

Cloudy Bay

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

I'm led to believe that this is pretty unfashionable at the moment but I couldn't give less of a shit. A great, pure wine that gives you exactly what you ask for. A light greenish hue; not getting much grapefruit but lots of cider apples and perry pears, with a touch of cat's piss and maybe a hint of freshly cut (lightly damp) hay and fatty cheese rind; plenty of acidity, apt minerality, and a lovely lingering palette-cleansing freshness. Our house pour for fish and chips with mushy peas and my home made tartare sauce. — 11 years ago

Single Vineyard Shiraz 2003

Standish "The Standish" Shiraz 2003. 99pts Parker. Holy sh*t. Worth every single point it has been given. Dan Standish is IMO Australia's greatest Shiraz maker. This wine is sweet fruited, with a kaleidoscope of complex blue and black fruits. Seamless in structure. Amazing balance. Extraordinary length. This wine is everything Barossa shiraz can be and more. +++ 97 points. — 12 years ago

Bodega DiamAndes

Clos de los Siete Malbec Blend 2010

I like this one. Es un malbec especial, se sinte picoso y alcoholico. Solo hay que dejarlo respirar un poco, ea delicioso en olor y consistencia.
Realmente de mis preferidos.

Domaine Ramonet

Les Ruchottes Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 1987

These supposedly off years by old great producers are simply gems... Extreme front to back balance, sun drenched hay, touch of dry peach, apricot pits, crushed pebbles, shells, bits of honeysuckle, and a soft acid backbone that lingers and touches your spine. Better than most grand cru's I have had in famous vintages. Speaks more to development than popular knowledge/science which is never meets great expectations in wine. Try it to love and live it ! — 13 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Roussanne

9.2

2012: herbal, quite mealy, vanilla, thyme, hay, lemon pith. Unctuous, creamy, apricot, and more fresher than most years. Perhaps going into the dreaded dumb phase soon? Stone fruited, melon, rich. Good but the standard Blanc is close in quality! — 11 years ago

Domaine Belluard

Le Feu Vin de Savoie Gringet 2012

Lyle Fass
9.9

Like an Alpine mountain aromatically. So vivid. That Le Feu fatness on the nose there as well. Fresh hay as well. Best Le Feu aromas ever. The palate is 04 Meursault Tillets from Roulot. I shit you not. Stunning and the best wine since 08 Mont Blanc from Belluard for me. — 12 years ago
