  Chasse Spleen 2006

  Snoothrank:

  A somewhat closed nose with typical berry cordial scent that breaks through nicely once this dark, luscious liquid caresses the tongue. There are puckering tannins, but these are gentle and approachable now - with obvious potential for 5-6 years of bottle aging. Not as powerful... Read moreA somewhat closed nose with typical berry cordial scent that breaks through nicely once this dark, luscious liquid caresses the tongue. There are puckering tannins, but these are gentle and approachable now - with obvious potential for 5-6 years of bottle aging. Not as powerful and dense as the 2005 (to be expected), but a beautifully crafted, balanced and delicious wine. This well-regarded property just never seems to let you down. In my opinion, this wine is better than many 4th and 5th Growths of this vintage.    (hide)

  Chateau Poujeaux 2000

  Snoothrank:

  A bit of a vegetal nose from the bottle but this quickly dissipated in the glass. Lots of fruit, nice balance but lacking length. I'm happy that I still have a few bottles. A nice easy drinking wine.

  Chateau Malmaison Baronne Nadine de Rothschild Moulis-En-Medoc 2003

  Snoothrank:

  This is one of our favorite wine purchases of the year. Dark cherries and smoky meats on the nose with a hint of tobacco/mint, medium finish that hits every point in your mouth and is very very well balanced.

Dark cherries and smoky meats on the nose with a hint of tobacco/mint, medium finish that hits every point in your mouth and is very very well balanced. We recently bought two bottles and had three more earlier in the year and all 5 were the same. This wine isn't anything out of the ordinary but seeing as everyone we've had over has tasted it and loved it I'd say it's an extremely well made friendly wine that anyone can get along with. It's the hot friendly cheerleader.    (hide)

Read moreSo DIS, is your interest coincidental, or was Philip asking in the first place ... from the often overlooked Moulis district; --Chateau Potensac, a Cru Bourgeous from the Medoc that far outclasses many of the traditional Grand Crus; --Chateau Sociando-Mallet, ditto as for Potensac, made by one of Bordeaux's true 'characters'; --Chateau Pontet-Canet, Pauillac, a 5th Growth in the old Grand Cru classification that is much better than *many* of the higher-ranked growths--its vines grow next to some of the first growths; --Domaine de Chevalier, in Pessac Leognan, Graves (near Chateau Haut Brion and La Mission Haut Brion), which also produces a most excellent white (which white I wouldn't lay down for 20 years, though I did have an excellent bottle from '93 this past Christmas...). --And for an often-economical higher growth I've always enjoyed Chateau Cos d'Estournel, and this also, I believe, has the GregDP seal of approval. These have been my more-economical-yet-quite-reliably-good-to-excellent go-to Bordeauxs over the past couple of decades. Meyney almost makes the cut in this grouping for me, too. You can buy a lot more of them for the same price and have more festive future festivities, while also having bottles to 'sample' in the interim to ensure everything's going according to plan... ;-) Depending on your cellar capacity, budget and desires, why not also lay down some Californians? I've kept a range of Napa cabs for my daughters, a few pinot noirs (back then Chalone was the only California pinot I wanted to lay down but now I'd look at those from the Sonoma Coast, particularly, but other areas as well). And maybe some from the Columbia Valley in eastern Washington, too? I've stored Woodward Canyon cabs for more than 20 years that have been excellent, though I initially got interested in the vineyard because of their chardonnays. That was nearly 30 years ago, and now there are many other interesting options in the area, too. If you are interested in California recommendations I've got plenty of them, too, but will stop here and allow others to step in.... GregT, the friend who shopped the '82s for the acquaintance who hit the rocks a year or two ago isn't a typical wine merchant, if there is such an animal. He also is in the jewelry business, and other things I may or may not be aware of. He put the bottles up on the net almost in auction style off his own site, only releasing a few bottles at a time to test the waters. Response was huge from Hong Kong and Shanghai, and he ended up selling the last case of each chateau for two to three times the price of the first case. Good for my friend the merchant, but small consolation, I imagine, for the dashing of decades-old dreams for the acquaintance..    (hide)
