Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1999

Medium ruby , quite wide garnet , terracotta rim . Quite spiced tobacco , red focused sous bois , warm spice , coffee and cacao , a little foursquare , rustic perhaps . On the palate better , quite juicy and rounded , spiced red plum , dark cherry , dry spice . This becomes more saline with time in the glass, balanced acidity and some slightly gritty tannins. This is probably in the middle of its drinking window , and will remain here over the next 5-10 years perhaps. Within the context of Haut Brion , this perhaps is just a little below par . — 2 months ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

Medium ruby core, garnet rim . More leafy and crunchy cassis, slightly foursquare , cooler slightly mint touches . Crunchy dark fruits on the palate , more tobacco , cedar , grafite notes , fills out on the palate pretty well. Good refreshing acidity , moderate quite fine tannins, slight green notes on the ok length . Good to drink now and probably won’t improve very much , now and over the next 10 years. — 2 years ago

Domaine Dauvissat-Camus

La Forest Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay

2022 fall. I hadn’t opened an older Dauvissat in a long time. 2006 Burgundies still feel a bit foursquare (for both whites and reds). There was a touch of honeyed development on the nose but this still tasted precisely like Dauvissat Forest...I wonder how it will continue to evolve. — 2 years ago

Château Cantemerle

Pretty closed nose , a little bit funky, touch of sous bois . On the palate better , with touches of sous bois , cassis, good roundness , then a bit foursquare and dry on the finish, ok acidity , slightly bitter tannins . Not the best bottle of this . From past experience benefits from time in the glass , at peak , drink from now over the next 5-8 years . — a year ago

Terralsole

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2007

Terralsole hit above its weight, 1 of 3 bottles with some funk on the nose but otherwise silky bing cherry and dark chocolate, totally resolved, decidedly yummy and ready. [pic credit to CellarTracker, rating for 2 of 3 btls] Also at Doma Miami but Foursquare sucks. — 2 years ago

Domaine Saumaize-Michelin

Clos Sur La Roche Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay 2017

2022/5/18 with weisswurst, Japanese potato salad, etc. The nose has lemon rind and a touch of butter and stone, with nice acidity and savor on the palate. There’s good richness. Definitely a country Macon and a foursquare, with a butter wrist depending on what you’re eating, but a good mouthful. — 3 years ago

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

Pretty deep ruby , quite narrow still ruby /garnet rim . Quite masculine , slightly high toned , grafite , cassis nose , blackberry, tobacco . Cool blackcurrant , mineral , quite strict acidity and gritty tannins. Good length , quite foursquare , grafite finish . From now , though will improve over the next 5-10 and hold possibly a further 5-10 — a year ago

Domaine Maume

Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2010

Gorgeous, flinty nose with hint of barnyard. Grippy tannins. Hint of coffee and soy sauce after 3 hours. Almost Valentini Cerasuolo-ish. Imperial Treasure Teochew Ion with Andrew Dutton.

Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. There I was suggesting that Maume's Mazis-Chambertin 2011 was clearly not the pick from the domaine this vintage and lo and behold, it trumps all in a blind tasting. It has quite an earthy note on the nose with mint-tinged red fruit and black plum unfurling at its own leisurely pace in the glass. Later, this is joined by fennel and rosemary scents, creating an intriguing aromatics profile. The palate is medium-bodied, a touch foursquare on the entry, but with good substance, the texture grainy and quite peppery toward the finish. There is a lot going on in this grand cru and it will be fascinating to see how it develops and if it maintains this stellar quality. RP95, 2011, issued Nov 2014
