4/2/2024 - Deaddeadwine Does not like this wine: NRRipe. No sense of varietal or place. I made a friend (a seasoned wine/food aficionado) taste this blind and he completely guessed incorrectly the varietal, continent, EVERYTHING about the wine. And I don't fault him - I would have gotten it wrong, as well. |

2009 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d'AmpuisSyrah more |
2/2/2024 - Deaddeadwine Likes this wine: NREarthy, minty, a touch of charcoal. Very serious, but not brooding. Decanted briefly before consuming - it didn't change much when exposed to air. More savory than fruity. It'll go longer, it'll probably develop more nuances, yet really enjoyable now. |

9/8/2023 - Deaddeadwine wrote: NRFrom memory, accompanied lunch earlier. Perfectly decent, balanced Chardonnay. Paired with roast chicken - worked well. This is MOR stuff, though, nothing particularly notable regardless of the established Dundee Hills origin. I doubt it'll improve much, I don't see much need to age further. |

8/17/2023 - Deaddeadwine Likes this wine: NRQuite pleased with this, fantastic qpr at $20. Very well made, excellent balance between ripe fruit and underlying acids. No sense of place really, but a high quality WV Chardonnay nonetheless. |

2009 Château d'AiguilheCastillon Côtes de Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/8/2023 - Deaddeadwine Likes this wine: NRModern, extracted, and..........Bordeaux. Leathery, meaty notes, yet still rich with bramble fruits. Pretty delicious 14 years on, particularly for a basic Bordeaux. Drink up, it probably won't improve much. |

6/19/2023 - Deaddeadwine Likes this wine: NRVery well made Sangiovese, with true varietal character. Spicy , ripe fruit with ample acidity. None of the earthen attributes of CC or Montalcino. More of a simple pleasure but good, nonetheless. Good qpr. |

4/21/2023 - Deaddeadwine Likes this wine: NRFantastic. Light gold in color. Lemon/lime citrus galore with a touch of petrol and plenty of slate minerality. Perfect balance of RS and searing acidity. In a great place now and certain to remain there for years to come. |

2017 Le Domaine d'Henri Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume HeritageChardonnay more |
3/19/2023 - Deaddeadwine Likes this wine: NRA wine of breed and class. Light gold. Somewhat muted nose of citrus and marine notes. Lemon and minerals on the acidic palate, although balanced by a lightly oaky presence. This is a very balanced wine, judiciously well made, albeit one that is more Chablis in temperament than in typicity. I have two more, and I'm in no hurry to consume them. |

3/19/2023 - Deaddeadwine wrote: NRLight ruby red. Promising nose of roses, mild sous bois. Light red fruits on palate, with ample acidity. But the palate doesn't blossom as the nose does, it has no middle and no finish. This, at 10 years of age, is much simpler than I'd hoped. |

2/16/2023 - Deaddeadwine wrote: NRDry, balanced riesling, strongly leaning towards citrus fruits - as noted by others, predominantly grapefruit. I found this to be enjoyable, albeit more simple than I'd hoped. Definitely can be aged further, in hopes it may develop more complexities. I have two more, I'll wait a few years until i open the next one. |
