Leo’s Blind Tasting Group.
Not that we haven’t picked up the alternate reading and in an endeavour to be more politically correct I’ve started referring to it as Leo’s Blind Quality Tasting Group.

24

You’ve got to get with the program. Leo’s Blind Tasting Group.

25
  1. Fiore di Campo Venezia Giulia IGT Tocai Friulano 2008: Pear, cantaloupe, pineapple, richly textured, absurdly delicious.

2.Vinogorje Peljesac Plavac Mali 2012: Mulberry, blueberry, fresh-tasting, not at all Zin-like.

  1. Domaine Anne Gros & Jean Tollot “Les Fontanilles” Minervois 2012: Elegant. Polished. This is Minervois? I dunno about this.

  2. Frank Cornelissen MunJebel Rosso 4 Etna DOC Nero Mascalese (2007): Let this be a lesson: When the man writes on the label to store below 60 degrees F, he really means it. This was hopelessly heat damaged: Stewed strawberries, cough syrup, rubbing alcohol.

  3. Abbay Sylva Plana “Las Closeraie” Faugeres 2010: Big fruit, exotic spice, rich without being heavy. What I like about the South.

  4. Robert Niero “Les Ravines” Condrieu 2012: Very polished, lots of yellow fruit, I wished for more body.

  5. Domaine Herve Azo Chablis 2013: Very good, if a bit simple. Lime/lemon, green apple, saline.

  6. Antonelli San Marco Montefalco Sagrantino Passito 2007: Death by Chocolate!

  7. Pasini Azienda Agricola “Il Groppello” Garda Classico 2010: Like Valpolicella that’s been in weight training: Bigger, bolder, more assertive.

  8. Chard Farm “The Tiger” Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2002: Confounding. Balanced, seamless, correct in all ways, but no development. A pretty song sung in a monotone.

26

Amazing, no overlapping of wine with anyone. In fact, there are so many wines that I have never heard of.

29

How was this? I had incredibly good experience with 2 bottles of '09 vintage.

30

All 10 just last night’s dinner (8 people):

NV Champagne Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut
2000 Champagne Taittinger Comtes de Champagne

31

I don’t drink wines like this in a year. Never mind the last 10 bottles, in the last few days like you heavy hitters. And I’m not new here either.

32

This is where the Delectable App comes in handy:

Interesting topic, I’m a little late to. Give or take one or two, here’s what I’ve most recently taken notes on:

1999 Domaine de la Vougeraie Bonnes Mares
1999 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Bonnes Mares
1999 Louis Jadot Bonnes Mares
1999 Michel & Stéphane Ogier Côte-Rôtie
2007 Nicolas Rossignol Volnay 1er Cru Les Roncerets
2005 Frederic Esmonin Chambertin-Clos de Bèze
2006 Bernard Dugat-Py Mazoyères-Chambertin
2011 Thibault Liger-Belair Moulin-à-Vent Vignes Centenaires
2006 Craggy Range Sophia
2005 Château Moulin Saint-Georges

By the way Chiu, how was this? Approachable? Shut down? I’m thinking of cracking a recent Fourrier MSD.

34

Costadilà 450 slm
2011 Leo Steen Calpella
2012 Domaine de L’Ecu RedNoz
2012 St. Urbans-Hof Ockfener Bockstein Riesling Kabinett
2011 Domaine Dupasquier Altesse Roussette de Savoie
2012 Domaine du Bel Air (Pierre et Rodolphe Gauthier) Bourgueil Jour de Soif
Domaine des Bodines Crémant du Jura
2012 Salinia Love and Collarbones Sun Hawk Farms
2013 Azienda Agricola Tintero Elvio Moscato d’Asti Sori Gramella
2013 Broc Carignan

35

Not yet shut down, still approachable. Denser and riper than '11 GC VV and '11 Aux Moines (not sure because of vintage or the site, probably both). Good spices and pretty, typical of Fourrier. Good enough for me to order a 6-pack immediately, not the easiest wine to find though.

36

Thanks, maybe I’ll try an '08. If you think Fourriers are hard to find in Singapore, try NZ!

Cheers, Howard

How was the Leoville Poyferre? Curious about the more exalted 2000s

40

This definitely needed more air time than the approximately 30 minutes it had. We drank it over the next 45 minutes and it continued to improve with more air. Nice silky smooth including the finish with quite a bit of spice. A bit sappy, but I find that with this producer in general.
