~Chateau trotanoy 2004~

Vibrant and young red with full potential to age.

it has a deep purple color, violet notes on the nose with aromas of pepper and spice and obvious oak. On the palate is full of dark plum character, cassis bunches of blackcurrant juices, astringency and a very long and lively finish.

An espression for the typical wines from Pomerol.

~Comte Lafon Meursault 1999~

Domaine des Comte Lafon Meursault 1999

A rich and creamy Chardonnay!

golden yellow in color with a nutty and vanilla aromas, this wine is best with any cheese ( except blue cheese?) the oakiness of the wine mellows the acid in the Chardonnay, is a round and creamy style with a toast flavors, vanilla, hazelnut, walnut and groundnut characters. a persistent body and superb finish.

Meursault is part of Burgundy and anything falls under this appelation must have a oak influence in its wine to fit the appelation( unlike chablis which is not oak ageing).

recommend to drink this wine now or 5 years from now.

~Dujac Vosne Romanee les Beaumonts 1er Cru 2000~

Domaine Dujac Les Beaumonts 1er Cru Vosne Romanne

Beautiful Pinot with seductive aromas!

The color is red with a rose hue, it is lively and brilliantly clear.

The first nose reminds the exotic flowers bouquet, second nose is pungent with light red fruits, a ripe strawberry notes, fresh blossom scents and cherry. there is a touch of bay leaves and a vanilla scents.

Dujac will never let you dissapointed with his Pinot, the palate is full with red fruits aromas, touch of fine acid balance with a medium bodied alcohol and I could find a sweetness in the end of the palate. A very interesting wine to be drink it with fruits and a roasted duck!

tasted on 26 March 2010

the color reminds me of the discolored red rose,pale red turning to brown with onion skin hue. the nose has a ripe red fruit flavors, indicates a very warm year, blackcurrant, cherry fruit a touch of vanilla, cedar wood, wineleaf and mineral.
the palate shows a elegant style of left bank bordeaux, margaux has the most elegant amongst all, medium palate, soft tannins with ripe fruits flavor that brings a little sweetness in the finish.
good to enjoy now!

Chateau Lascombes 2000

Chateau Lascombes 2000

tested on 24 february 2010

The color of this wine is really intense and leading to a ruby red hue, vicosity is high probably the wine is ripe enough to offer a high alcohol volume.

deep brilliant purple with hint of herbacous notes, ripe berries flavor, oak and liquorice. on the palate was a firm tannins with a touch of acidity, a sign of value to store for another 5 years or more. a long finish and ripe fruits flavor.

(acidity is the backbone for the wine to be mature in the bottle for longer period and this also contibute to sendiments in the bottle which will settle in the bottom of the bottle in time)

chateau lascombes has a winemaker tradition to mature its wine in 100% new oak for 18 to 24 months. this contribute to the silky texture and vanilla flavours which found in younger vintages.

Chateau Cos D Estournel 1990

I was surprised by its deep purple color(must be a very big vintage)- full currant aromas, blackberries,touch of herbacous with minerality hint. taste full bodied with presence of tannins and touch of acidity. finishing was long. still consider to be young and may be enjoy for another 5 to 8 years.
