Somlói Juhfark 2009

2009 vintage and last bottle from my Eastern bloc pack that I got an age ago. Tastes like an aged dry Riesling. Wet stones, poached pears, yellow apple, musk melon that is overripe, petrol, and light smokiness. First run in with Juhfark and glad to see it uphold its reputation for longevity. Spontaneous fermentation and aged in large 1200L cask for two years. — 9 years ago

Vieilles Vignes Chassagne-Montrachet Pinot Noir 2010

Dried cherry, strawberry, persimmon and nice silky mouthfeel with good acidity. Tannins are pretty stout at the back end lending itself to definite longevity. — 11 years ago

Brilliant example of Clare Riesling with lime & quince on the complex palate, all balanced by crisp acidity. Great potential longevity. — 8 years ago

Yann Chave

Le Rouvre Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2013

Still a bit early to drink this one. Very little fruit on the nose even after some air time (subtle blackberry and cassis). Most present is the cracked pepper and earth. Hints of leather and strong acidity and tannins promise longevity. — 9 years ago

Dauvergne Ranvier

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2009

Quite light for Côte-Rôtie. Smart and sophisticated with just enough red fruit to play along with the savory, umami character. Medium tannins and acidity and with plenty of remaining longevity. — 9 years ago

Montmains Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2012

Really enjoying 2012 Chablis. Nice acid and longevity with the fruit. — 9 years ago

Voyager Estate

Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2003

Excellent, excellent WA cabernet dominant blend; shows Margaret River's dominance of Australian cabernets; shows tobacco and black fruits flavours; undoubtedly now dry with a tannin backbone rarely found in Oz cabernet; then juicy, taut acids too to show further longevity; drink til 2025; little colour dropoff — 9 years ago

2004 is showing fleshy fruit but lacks backbone and structure and may not have great longevity. — 9 years ago

Domaine Gros Frère et Sœur

Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir

In a really nice place right now. Really great acidity that suggests more longevity but the fruit was really starting to dry out which makes me wonder... — 9 years ago

Cavallotto

Vigna Scot Dolcetto d'Alba 2012

Smooth, drinkable - would pair well with anything. Had with a wonderful Italian meal.

Ruby wine club notes: The Cavallotto family claims sole ownership of the beautiful Bricco Boschis cru in the Castiglione Falletto district (also home to Azelia), where they have been growing Nebbiolo since 1929 and bottling their own wine since 1948. These richly structured wines place emphasis on elegance and longevity, attributable to excellent vineyards in the Bricco Boschis and Vignolo crus and traditional long maturation periods in large Slovenian-oak casks. After meeting and tasting with Winemaker and owner Alfio Cavallotto, I was incredibly impressed with his wines and thought his Dolcetto was one of the best I had tasted all year. This wine offers the crunchy red fruits for which Dolcetto is known for, with an element of licorice, and sandalwood. This Impressive effort will pair with just about anything, but it is highly fashionable with pasta and grilled meats.
