Chateau Malartic Lagraviere 2003


Chateau Malartic Lagraviere 2003
An old and historic place for wine?
Malartic is in remembrance of a governor of Ile de France which known as Mauritius today.
Tasting notes:
Dark red in color with plum and cassis strike to nose on first sniff, secondary nose of capsicum , cigar box and fresh earth. The palate offers ample tannins( quite youth) with sweet spice and dark fruit characters stay on your palate before finish with an oaky touch. This could be attractive and nice to drink with a meal with red meat now or 3 more years...

Oremus Tokaji 5 Puttonyos 2000



Oremus Tokaji 5 Puttonyos

Sweet Indulgence!

This coppermine gold wine came from the east:- Hungary

they claimed it as the wine for the king and the king of sweet wine!

With exciting nose of sweet fruits, it brings out some oxidation and orange marmalade character. honey and dried apricots are the common in this particular dessert wines. Once you drink it with dessert( make sure your dessert is sweet enough), your palate will lingers with sweet ripe fruits liquid and a soft touch of ginger. Very promising body and length and its so easy to drink!

Having it lingers in my mouth for couple of minutes in 22nd August 2010- Han

Armand Rousseau, Clos St. Jacques, Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru 1996
Premier Cru at Grand Cru quality and price!
the silky texture and bundles of flower and strawberries fruit lingering in your nose and palate. Surprisingly the wine has a persistent body and silky tannnins that you can feel its tackle trough your throat once you drink it. Fantastic wine just like a lady in a glass!
