10/28/2017 - JBVino wrote: NRWine is at a good place. Integrated and showing some finesse for cornas but still with that life /texture on the palate providing great lift and structure. Not massive in the mouth but with a solid presence. Fruit is an equal partner with secondary flavors on the palate. Fun mature cornas. |

8/16/2017 - JBVino wrote: NRLow expectations and anticipating new world, alcohol and fruit driven... could not have been more wrong. This wine had great size but balance and with extra ordinary texture on the palate. Definitely had fruit but balanced w really nice old world Syrah secondary flavors. At 15 years definitely life left but why wait... can imagine it gets better |

7/25/2017 - JBVino wrote: NRNo notes but on memory really solid. All pieces integrated and solid length and structure. Could have had a bit more texture on the palate and secondary flavors were good not outstanding. Nonetheless enjoyed. |

2002 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
8/2/2017 - JBVino wrote: NRGood but not as dynamic and other worldly as bottle had five years ago. This bottle while solid lacked the lift and complexity and length on the palate to be extraordinary. Color did not indicate age of the wine that was experienced. Solid but disappointing given pedigree of this vintage, producer and fruit source. |

7/31/2017 - JBVino wrote: NRMoving into drinking window... secondary flavors, complexity on the palate starting to develop. I would have thought this might be farther along in development. Solid but not amazing acidity. Much better than sauzet combettes from same vintage had a few nights later. Enjoyable. |

2001 Hourglass Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
7/15/2017 - JBVino wrote: NRHad next to 06 Cos. Really made apparent the style differences while Hourglass is a really solid bottle of wine it is primarily a fruit driven wine. It had solid mouthfeel and legnth but lacked complexity in flavor profile and texture on the palate of the Cos. Good bottle but suffered on comparison if you lean old world. |

6/17/2017 - JBVino wrote: NRExceeded expectations. Prior bottles had been nice but simple with nothing more than ordinary length and little secondary flavors. This bottle has really evolved. Palate now has nice secondary flavors and mouthfeel and presence is much better. |
