I just came upon this one, for a 2006 1er Cru white Burgundy:
Tasted by [redacted] on 12/4/2012 & rated 91 points:
No notes taken.
Perfect provenance.
Perfect cork with zero liquid.
Generally a top fave of mine (moreso than the Corton Charlemagne I have had). Light yellow '06 color.
Big round body with 3% mil mouth weight and velvety mouthfeel.
Nice nose of apple, orange, lt. pear, and a touch of wax. Calcium and light clay.
Taste calium, apple, orange, pear, lt. oak butter popcorn showing up briefly in the middle of the night. Lt. pineapple as well.
Benefits from 1 hr decant. Over time she got more and more like the lovely big lady I have had in the past. More nose and taste.
Benefits from warming to room temp as well. Like an Albino Rocca single vineyard white, she gets best at that level IMHO.
Nice finish length of around 1.5 minutes.
91 pts.
Went Perfect with crab legs and flaming hot crunchy cheetos.
Nice with hummus too.
Enjoy now and can easily coast another 5-12 yrs.
A '96 Puligny non-vintage special cuvee actually showed better than this bottle.
I think my favorite things are that it opens by saying “no notes taken,” but then this gigantic and ultraspecific tasting note follows. And then there’s the pairing with crab legs and flaming hot crunchy Cheetos. The 1.5 minute finish is impressive as well. I have no clue what a 3 mil mouth weight is – is that like a 3 mil wetsuit?
Looking at the users other notes it refers to milk fat content. I don’t mind the notes, some of them are pretty out there but they are interesting at least!
I liked this one. A friend commented that “Inner Mouth Funk” would be a good band name:
2008 xxxxx Châteauneuf-du-Pape
8/20/2013 -xxxxx WROTE: NR
Aromatic nose of sweat, blended berries and bonfire ash. Silky. Some inner mouth funk with air. Spicy finish. NR
This posting on the 88 La Chapelle Hermitage originally said it tasted like vinegar, but awarded 88 points. Someone commented that it must have been a bad bottle, at which point the poster changed the description but not the score!
I have about 20 funny notes I’ve copied from cellartracker over last year or two that I have saved in MS Word on my desktop. I’ll have to post them up next week.
One of my all time faves from a very good friend of mine with a fantastic palate…
Tasted by Matt Neel on 2/23/2012: Dinner at l’Artusi 2/23/2012 (West Village): Deepest midnight black, opaque. Nose hyper floral, like a bouquet of violets delivered in a freshly milled-cedar box; hugely soapy, body wash (h/t Josh). Like a Russian oligarch’s daughter’s perfume – not cheap but cloying and totalitarian. Not inviting me to taste it; I am afraid to taste it. Palate massively lush, ripe, and excruciatingly tannic; utter and complete lockdown, totalitarian like the perfume. I hate this wine, sorry. But I usually don’t prefer valpolicella (though I do love old Amarone). There is obvious quality here but it is hard for me to stare into the sun, as it were.
I don’t know the wine (or the taster), but I love this description: “Nose hyper floral, like a bouquet of violets delivered in a freshly milled-cedar box.”
Matt is still taking notes but hasn’t posted in a while…luckily I am probably with him when he consumes the majority of his wine so I get to hear these things first hand…they always make for good conversation…
