1994 Domaine de Chevalier BlancPessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
5/2/2024 - cannym Likes this wine: 93 pointsMedium gold. Decently fresh for its age, still some grassy sauvignon blanc, sharp gooseberry. But overlaid now by beeswax, honey, almond and lots else. An almost oily texture. Long. Well into maturity now but still very enjoyable. A very good bottle, appropriate ageing/oxidation only in this one. |

2005 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Leistenberg Riesling KabinettNahe more |
4/4/2024 - cannym Likes this wine: 90 pointsNow golden. Needed a little airing to get going, then loads of interest. Citrus still but mixed in with more tropical fruits, lychee, pineapple perhaps. Plenty decent acidity, medium length. Quite rich. Plus that aged Riesling thing, not petrol exactly here but something a bit medicinal. Held up well but seemed to lose its voluptuous aspects over the course of the evening. |

3/30/2024 - cannym Likes this wine: 90 pointsRuby. Plenty of sweet and ripe Pinot fruit. Cranberry, beetroot at first then going into black fruits. Black plums. Plenty acidity, ripe tannins. Good length. Suspect further ageing would have made it less straightforward. |

2008 Craggy Range Syrah Le Sol Gimblett Gravels Vineyardmore |
3/18/2024 - cannym Likes this wine: 90 pointsDeep ruby. Not a bad wine but lacked class and elegance in a very strong line up. Black fruits, still rather chunky tannins. Some bits of meat and leather. OK but no star billing. |

2009 Cayuse Syrah En Chamberlin VineyardWalla Walla Valley more |
3/18/2024 - cannym Likes this wine: 97 pointsEasily WOTN. First stand out is the nose, with notes of cherries, spice, white pepper, fig, and something floral. Then grilled meat, warm spices like clove or turmeric, dark berry fruits, and much more. Velvety fully resolved tannins, very long and polished finish. We all enjoyed this wonderful wine, an exotic beauty none had drunk previously. |
