Domaine A.-F. Gros (Anne & Francois Gros)
Aux Réas Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2011
Quite forward (as are most 11s) with some sweet lashings of oak and very good fruit. — 12 years ago
Egon Müller
Scharzhof Riesling 2010
Decent and quaffable but nothing more than that. — 12 years ago
Elderton
Friends Vineyard Series Shiraz 2011
Drinkable but nothing to write home about. — 11 years ago
Marcassin
Three Sisters Vineyard Pinot Noir 2007
More like a Burgundy than a typical Marcassin. Hedonistic as always but quite fine. — 12 years ago
Domaine A.-F. Gros (Anne & Francois Gros)
Clos de la Fontaine Monopole Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2011
Quite forward and pretty. Lacks a bit of stuffing for a VR lieux dit however. Drink over the short term. — 12 years ago
Tenuta Greppo (Biondi-Santi)
Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2004
Bought at the winery in 2008. Still young but with four hours decanting is surprisingly accessible. Thought I was pulling the cork on a 2005 which is a much inferior vintage at biondi santi — 12 years ago
Tenuta Caparzo
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2007
A bit of oak plus good fruit and moderate acidity. At $30 a good value in Brunello. — 11 years ago
Domaine Dujac
Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2005
Plenty of time left but this is already showing quite well. — 12 years ago
Domaine A.-F. Gros (Anne & Francois Gros)
Clos des Guettes Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2011
A very surprising Savigny. This wine punches far above its weight. Quite impressive in context. — 12 years ago
Daniel Bailey
Not the best Brunello vintage (Biondi-Santi made no riserva in 2005) but a very fine Sangiovese nonetheless. No rush obviously to drink up but the wine is already showing quite well now. — 11 years ago
