2002 Dujac Gevrey Chambertin Aux combottes

This is a lovely, pretty wine, floral, light red, strawberry with long strong finish. 90 points

2002 Jouan Gevrey-Chambertin

Oil of Bergamont earl grey nose with hibiscus pollen, light ruby color with pleasant and almost swollen tanninish finish. I give it 92 points

2008 Lewis

The Lewis is extraordinary. Chocolate, Moccha exhude. This one is a keeper. 93 points on its way to 95 points. Love it.

2002 Capitain Gagnerot Aloxe-Corton Les Moutottes 1er Cru

The 2002 Les Moutottes is a lovely wine straight away. Light bright red color, rose and cotton candy nose with light refined red cherry finish make it a perfect wine for grilled salmon, spinach/shitake/parmesan/mushroom quiche, and asparagus cous-cous. This is an effortless wine to drink that is deliciously light. 88 points. May even deserve higher points - I am glad to have a case to see how it evolves.

2003 Dog Point Pinot Noir Malborough

The 2003 Dog Point tastes like it sounds. The color is fine, the nose is strawberry shortcake sweet - like its flavour and the finish is cheap, flat and not so cheerfull musty. I suspect I should have tried it earlier. 80 points.

1999 Barbaresco Giorgio Pelissero Vanotu

The 1999 Pelissero is drinking beautifully. The maroon red color, precocious red cherry nose is filled with currants and the finish is filled with long lasting concentrated cherry cassis flavour. Perfect with Prosciutto, Funghi, Spinach, and anchovie pizza. This forward muscular wine delights right out of the bottle and evolved enjoyably though the evening. 92 points.
