Rating: 4.0stars; 92points
Aromatic and very pretty and youthful nose. Palate very youthful but acid slightly apart.

Château Rausan-Ségla, Bordeaux, France
Grape Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot

Meaty and semi-dense with soft tannins. Old leather and forest floor notes dominate. Hint of mint and sweaty armpits too.

Château de Fieuza, Graves, France
Grape Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot
Rating: 4.5stars; 94points
Dark ruby garnet with a prominent brick rim. Immediately delivers serious wafts of tobacco, gravel and cigar box over cassis. Fresh, layered and complex. Evolution introduced lovely compot like secondary notes. Immensely enjoyable. This bottle bought at the cellar so provenance is prestine.

Georges Noëllat Vosne-Romanée 1989
Georges Noëllat, Bourgogne, France
Grape Varietals: Pinot Noir
Rating: 3.5stars; 90points
After a dismal performance by the GC from the same Village and Vintage, this one immediately launches itself at your nostrils with pinot perfume and a hint of spice. Quite short but very pleasing for a 24 year old village. Does fade rather quickly tho

Grape Varietals: Pinot Noir
Rating: 3.5stars; 89points
4.2.14 tasting. Not oxidised but seems past its best. Complex genteel cherry like notes wrapped in mild sweet spice. 5.12.16.7=90 Dec 2013-This one showing heavy oxidative notes on opening. Cork also displays minimal exposure to wine hinting upright storage for prolonged period. Sad as this wine ever so often displays Vosne Romanee prowess and finesse. Could have been so much more.
