Domaine Henri Rebourseau

Mazy-Chambertin Pinot Noir 1994

Deep garnet color. Leather like aroma. Vintaged taste. 30 minutes, smooth, lots of aroma. 1.5 hour, peak. 2.5 hours, lots of tanning. It still has a power after 24 years. I mistook? Half glass which was kept in my cellar reminded me same taste as I felt before. Crude oil flavor, deep. 15 years vintage should be decanted more than a few hours. @13638, Raku - TH, 180923-181229 — 6 years ago

Château Clinet

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2013

Changing its color at pouring from red ~ purple ~ garnet. Oak aroma, black currant ample aroma coming from glass. Still young? A bit spicy. Mid concentration. 8.8 at first day. Next day, finally realized that’s nice! This concentration and deep black fruits flavor should be owned by good Pomerol. I don’t know we can feel the same by a few hours decant in first day, but in the young vintage, enough decanting in decanter would be necessary. @8683, Raku - JH, 181229-190202 — 6 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

Like aglianico color which is pink with unfiltered fruits juice. Sweetness with enough tanning and spicy taste. Robust and concentrated. But color inside of glass is deep,. One more special feature is Pinot noir like flavor with plum with sour taste. Zinfandel major, but with various grape blend. @12980, Raku - , 180406-180608 — 7 years ago
