Four from Mikulski
Date: Thu, Mar 28, 2013 Wine Tasting
2011 Francois Mikulski Bourgogne Chardonnay:
Pale lemon yellow. Apples, minerals, slightly flinty, slightly floral, lemony. Fresh acidity, somewhat creamy texture, light body, elegant and fairly nuanced. Good length. Lovely 87
2010 Francois Mikulski Meursault:
Pale lemon yellow. Apples, floral, nuanced, very pure feel, elegant minerals, refined. Fresh acidity, lively, again lovely nuance, almost creamy texture, but no butter. Playful mineraly and lemons finish. Long. 90

Date: Tue, Mar 26, 2013 Wine Tasting

2010 Château Pichon Longueville Baron:
Deep ruby. Vanilla and cassis, very up front on the nose, but things are happening behind. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, quite grippy texture now, needs years and years of cellaring. Forget for fifteen years. Lovely balance, long. 94 for now.
2009 Château Pichon Longueville Baron:
Deep ruby. Intense nose of cassis, blueberries, plums and scented notes. Medium acidity, ripe tannins, a slightly sweet style, feels riper now than during primeurs, reminds me of the young 03 but more elegant, long finish. 93
2007 Château Petrus:
Ruby. Again this almost Burgundian elegance, blueberries, floral and scented nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, elegant and light texture, not far from 07 La Tâche not long ago, but more intense flavours, very long. More open like last bottle. 95

Date: Tue, Mar 26, 2013 Wine Tasting
1999 Château Potensac:

2010 Samuel Billaud Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnere:
Pale lemon yellow. Apples, minerals, a bit tight nose. Fresh acidity, elegant fruit and texture even if a bit ripe and yellow fruity, good length. 89
2006 Francois Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny 1erCru Les Charmes:
Bright ruby. Barrel notes and plums.fresh acidity. More elegant body, not as vulgar as another 06 1er Cru a few weeks back, good length. 88
2007 Mugnier Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos de laMaréchale:
Tasted this several times lately, this one decanted for about an hour, elegant ruby, scented nose, more open than last two bottles. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fresh, elegan and quite lively, one of the tighter 07's that needs a bit of air. 91+
2008 Claude Dugat Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru:
Ruby. Scented and fruity after an hour in decanter. Fresh acidity, lively, ripe tannins, elegant fruit, needs a few years to settle it seems, long. 92
2007 Conceito Vintage Port:
Deep ruby. Fruity and deep nose, chocolates, layered. Fresh acidity, lively, elegant, long and fairly playful Vintage Port. 93

2009 Château Lestage: (Listrac)
Ruby. Cassis, some vanilla, slightly scented nose. Some herbs. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, elegant, light bodied but fruity, quite lovely even if easy going. 85
2009 Château La Fleur Peilhan:
Deep ruby. Started out rich but fairly nuanced, with air, alcoholic and sweet, even bitter. Feels extracted (14%) and is simply too much for this one. Ungainly. Falls completely apart after ten minutes. Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, why on earth? 70
2010 Grand Cannon: (Canon Fronsac)
Ruby. Coffee, rich and ripe nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, somewhat unrefined and not very elegant. Canon Fronsac can do better. 83

2006 Château Meyney:
Deep ruby. Cassis and blueberries, vanilla, coffee touch and chocolate. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, biting texture and very young. Needs many years or hours of decanting, the 06's are mostly too rough still, even at this level. 89
