1999 Confuron-Cotetidot Vosne-Romanée

By on October 31, 2003 #asides

Medium-plus cherry red. The nose is a subdued strawberry and raspberry number – very smooth. Lovely mouthfeel, lots of high-toned fruits, good acidity and medium, velvetty tannins. Persistent finish too. This is a very good villages wine.

Medium-plus cherry red. The nose is a very forward mix of of red and black cherries. Nice mouthfeel again with medium velvetty tannins coupled with good acidity and fruit concentration. Also a very good villages – I marginally prefer the Vosne-Romanée.

Lufthansa first class! Medium/medium-plus colour. A little spice and subdued red raspberry fruit coated with subtle vanilla. Nice texture, medium concentration, good acidity and medium plus well-grained tannins. Good length on the slightly sweet fruit, a little banana too. I’d prefer the fruit to be a bit more concentrated but this is a nice drink at 35,000 feet and in this environment surprisingly refined – but couldn’t I have expected a 1er or Grand Cru in first class? , -)

Slightly deeper lemon yellow. Much deeper nose – slightly smokey and ripe – there’s a little melon and pineapple, becomes more honeyed and gradually a waxy note comes through. The nose develops really well. The palate is a little buttery and nicely deep. This is a big, rather than an elegant, wine. The acidity is just right. Finishes just a little dry. Boisterous – but I like it.

1999 Faiveley Joseph Mercurey La Framboisière

Medium ruby red with cherry at the rim. A subdued cooked cherry nose with just a trace of caramel. Less sweet than the Givry but good depth of fruit and good acidity too. The smooth tannin is a good buffer. Good.

Medium ruby red. Clean, sweet red berried nose – raspberry, redcurrant and strawberry. Quite full with medium-soft tannins and good acidity. This has a nice style and would be worth leaving a couple of years.

1999 Château Génot-Boulanger Pommard

By on March 31, 2003 #asides

Medium cherry red. The nose is subdued but sweet strawberry is the dominant note. Also sweet on the palate with medium-plus tannins and slightly tart acidity. The fruit is mainly red and quite persistent. Perhaps a bit rustic, almost good.
