Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Sweet, buttery nose, round and soft aromas, touch of lemons, but this nose is surprisingly monolithic and somewhat uninteresting; sweet, soft and round in the front of the mouth, but then quickly taking on layers of spicy acidity with a fresh-squeezed lemon juice character; spicy, fresh and refreshing at the end; perhaps not an important wine, but certainly a pleasant and classy one. (16.5/20)

Daviot-Perrin Chassagne-Montrachet Les Blanchots Dessus - 1999

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Buttery nose, very smoky and sweet with lemon peel aromas; good fruit in the mouth, concentrated for these wines and more textured than they tend to be; still has the characteristic lemon juice flavors and high acidity, but there is more balance and depth in the finish. (17.5/20)

Robert Mondavi Winery Fumé Blanc, To Kalon Vineyard, I Block Napa Valley - 1994

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Classic opening nose, perfumed and minerally but laced with sweet fruit, liquid apricots; wonderful in the mouth, classic powerful sweet flavors at the beginning with rich liquid fruit flavors, but also with the classic character of dry flavors along the edges, lemon peel and citrus fruit mixing with apricots and touches of honey. (17/20)

Domaine des Baumard Coteaux du Layon - 2001

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Drier nose with a more direct sense of purpose, a bit more lean with a stronger lemony and citric set of aromas, very aromatic though with tropical notes; big wine with powerful lemon juice flavors; has more depth than many of these wines, but still has that laser-like lemony finish that leaves the palate looking for a bit of relief from the bite of the lemon juice. (16.5/20)

Robert Mondavi Winery Fumé Blanc, To Kalon Vineyard, I Block, Reserve Napa Valley - 1999

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Sweet and rich nose, loaded with minerals, peppery, very intense and powerful, lemon peel and other citrus fruit aromas; sweet and thick, slightly oily on the palate; rich, ripe and round, lots of baby fat in this wine that is hiding some of the layered flavors that will emerge later; smooth and silky at the end with lemon peel and sweet spices; needs more time to develop complexity and depth. (16.5 now but more to come in the future)

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Sweet and rich nose, lots of minerals and herbs, perfumed but as with these wines, thick and dense on the nose; sweet and rich in the mouth, minerally and laced with exotic fruit flavors; silky and smooth, quite spicy; nice long finish. (16/20)

Château Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape - 1997

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Very sweet and rich with perfumed aromas of oleander and magnolia oil, also green herbs and spices apparent on the nose; sweet and rich in the mouth with ripe lemon and tropical fruit flavors; the mid-mouth is more lemony and citric with hot spices; then moving on to the end with more subtlety in the flavors, and the presence of dry minerals, talc; a dense and chewy wine, but also giving with powerful flavors. (16.5/20)

Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape - 1998

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Young and fresh nose with lots of fruit, sweet aromas touched with lemons and limes, minerals, honey; fresh and crisp in the mouth, a shot of sweet lemon and mineral notes predominate; there is depth and complexity here, though not a lot of power; meant to be drunk young, it’s hard to go wrong with these wines and seafood; nice fresh and clean finish. (16/20)

Celestin Blondeau Sancerre Cuvée des Moulins Bales - 2001

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Sweet nose, spicy with lots of honeyed fruit and an abundance of green herbs, touch of vinyl, quite perfumed and aromatic; the wine does not live up to the promise of the nose; sweet and smooth at the front of the mouth, but then quickly turning hard and acidic in the mid-mouth; quite sour at the finish and lacking depth and body; disappointing at the end after a good beginning. (15.5/20)

Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Wonderful sweet, honeyed nose with lots of ripe fruit, mushrooms, herbs and spices, beeswax, rich and thick nose; a wonderful mix of sweet lemons and limes in the mouth with an elegant dry texture; waxy; good acidity with a mix of smokiness and spices that make the wine quite exotic; solid finish, not as complex as some of these wines can be, but a good presence of layered flavors. (16.5/20)
