NV Jacquesson & Fils Champagne Cuvée No. 741 Dégorgement TardifChampagne Blend more |
5/16/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 94 pointsDinner in Reims. Discrete nose at first, then opening up with bruised apples and spices, lime. The oxidation is gentle, not intrusive. Dense palate, dry, feeling brut nature almost. Definitely a food chamapagne. Can keep further. 94-95 |

5/16/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 96 pointsDinner in Reims. Fantastic as always, This has so much aroma and chalkyness on the palate, you can see that they picked top quality grapes here. The nose has yellow and red fruit, spice box, red flowers. The palate very good density and a wonderful low dosage feeling. |

1964 Henriot Champagne Cuvée des Enchanteleurs BrutChampagne Blend more |
5/16/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 97 pointsDomaine visit. Disgorged à la volée for the lunch. What a generous gesture from the house as this is a four digit bottle by now. Showed fresh and absolutely spectacular, combining champignon notes with lemon and yellow fruit, also some nutmeg, forest floor. Perlage only petillant making this like a sublime, old Montrachet. Wonderful experience |

5/16/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 92 pointsDomaine visit. Discrete nose, needed some swhirling. Raspberry notes intertwined with lemon and spices. Light on the palate with lovely dry extract on the finish. Solid, but not the last word on complexity. |

5/13/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 97 pointsDiscrete nose, opens up with swirling. Wonderful aromas of smoke, beef blood, herbs, black pepper. Ripe dark fruit on then palate entry but with tons of acidity and great structure. They really managed the ripe vintage very well. Not a sign of heat or overripeness. Top wine A to Z. |

5/12/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 93 pointsExpressive nose with coconut, vanilla dominating, needs some integration. Lush palate, polished tannins, almost a bit too slick but good acidity with red fruit, a touch farmyard funk to finish elegant and Burgundian. Very popular at the table tonight both with Pinot nuts and novices. |

5/12/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 96 pointsParker 100 Pointer Lunch, tasted blind: Tasted blind. This showed exceptionally well. We were all at least 10 years off in age. So much freshness and structure here combined with a kaledoscope of tertiary Burg aromas around sour cherry, autumn leaves, cured meat, dried flowers. Wonderful 96+ |

1993 Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon John Riddochmore |
5/12/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 95 pointsParker 100 Pointer Lunch, tasted blind: Tasted blind, snuck into a bordeaux flight and did well. I guessed Napa from the 90ies as it combined ripe fruit, eucalyptus notes with good structure and freshness. It shows that before the 2000era both in Napa and Australia the Cabernets were more made in a Bordeauesque style with suits this region well. Ripe fruit is never a problem here, but keeping freshness and structure. This wine did that well. |

5/12/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 95 pointsParker 100 Pointer Lunch, tasted blind: Opened this as a palate cleanser after all the 100 pointers. It did not only that job well, but was a great wine. Flinty nose with lemon curd, generous palate, tart enough finish. Not as good as the Paul Pillot rendition but very nice and very good QPR. |

5/12/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 96 pointsParker 100 Pointer Lunch, tasted blind: During a tasting. Expressive nose of dark fruit with some smoke and forest elements. It was late in the line up so my palate wasn't the freshest anymore. Structured and young. I would give this a few more years. |

5/12/2024 - Collector1855 wrote: 95 pointsParker 100 Pointer Lunch, tasted blind: Rich and ripe, fruity, lots of oak and vanilla, clay, torrefaction, dark fruit. We were tossing between Nebbiolo and Sagiovese, but whatever, it was Italian we said and the quality is good and the balance works despite it being a modern interpretation of Sangiovese. |
