2003 Lambrays Clos des Lambrays

By on March 31, 2009 #asides

A high-toned and nicely fresh nose of red berries over something initailly a little musty – the must slowly evolves to creamy soil notes. The palate is very ripe but the fruit retains some freshness and avoids being ‘roast’. The flavour is good and shows no obvious jarr from the tannin. This is very supple but not as long as many here.

Deep aromas, some sous-bois, a little spicy oak. Much better texture to the tannin versus the 2002 – this is almost a junior 2005 in mouth-feel. There is plenty of action in the mouth and a similar if slightly narrower length to the 2002, actually this seems younger than the 2002. Very fine wine.

The nose needs a little coaxing, but soon shows reasonable width, but a stunning fruit depth and the faintest creme brulée. Silken and soft in the mouth, yet powerful – that tannin is buried and the balance is a wonder. It bursts across the mid-palate before slowling lingering in the finish. A ‘wow’ wine. Of-course, also sold-out at the domaine!

About 26 hectolitres per hectare. The nose is wide and mineral with fine herbs. Understated, mouthfilling power that manages to expand even further on the mid-palate, becoming ever-more complex as it does so. It’s long and reasonably tannic – though the tannins are very soft – Super! The last drops in the glass are finally giving up a beautifully pure cherry note. Already sold-out at the domaine.

Medium red only, but the colour looked super in the glass, despite domestic comments about it being a rosé! The nose was wide and reasonably deep – rather mineral and persisent – not so much fruit but lovely to sniff. In the mouth it was mainly about balance and persistence; nicely ripe fruit, a little of the aromatic minerality and an intensity that built before slowly fading. Like many Lambrays, it’s about balance and compexity, not power.

A soft and yet tight nose – giving little away. Mouth-filling and perfectly ripe in a slightly confiture way. But its like a comfy armchair you can sink into.

2005 Lambrays Clos des Lambrays

By on October 31, 2007 #asides

Understated aromatics that are fin and complex with a faint creamy undertow. Ripe, sweet and complex. The tannin carries a little grain, but it’s hardly very forward. Super length – a wine to spend an evening with!

A forward nose, leafy, tobacco. The palate is subdued, relatively balanced but shows a nice little burst of interest in the mid-palate before fading. It’s quite nice, but not more.
