Krug

Brut Champagne Blend 2000

Another stellar Champagne. Not quite to the level of the 99 Salon for me, but I think both are so good it is an individual preference matter. This was a little more on the yeasty side, with a little more brioche going on. — 11 years ago

Salon being BdB will develop earlier complexity; Krug 2000 tasted at their cellars two weeks ago #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtour #france2015 ; just had occupied the full space yet; building up the brioche yes; but underlying acidity amazing; so both wines will go in the opposite direction.

Super-Tuscan blend, fresh with balanced tannins, no hints of green or vegetable typical of Cab. Sauv. & Franc not perfectly matured. A very good expression #FrescobaldiTasting — 11 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2000 with its millennia label; a stout vintage; six hours of air helped; then vanillin from the oak; sweetened it; actually a monster cabernet type; power there despite the 13 years inside; earth, cedar and meaty😡; #drinkbordeaux #drinkpauillac #pauillac #firstgrowth #medoc #bordeaux #cabernet #merlot #bordeauxblend #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtour #france16 #moutonrothschild — 11 years ago

Castell'in Villa

Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2008

Chianti Classico 2008 nearing maturity; this Castell'InVilla looks pretty rounded until you hit the tell tale sangiovese tannins which hitch your palate suggesting a mouthful of protein is best; Tuscany fared better than France in the rainy vintage of 2008; 14%; AUD 25 good value; #drinkitaly #drinktuscany #sangiovese #castellinvilla #berandegna #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtour #italy2015 — 11 years ago

Ceretto

Prapó Barolo Nebbiolo 1997

An interesting balance of secondary savoriness, spicy black tea-like tannins, darker than expected fruit and tons of acidic structure. Evolving & fascinating. — 10 years ago

Barbazzale Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese Nerello Cappuccio

2 new grape varieties for me. Jubey floral aromas and flavours. Easy on the front palate but quite a firm finish. Essential with food as you would expect. — 11 years ago
