Two great disapointments

Trying the next two legendary wines was a great disapointment......I have never tasted such wines from any of these wineries.

2003 Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos;
Pale gold colour, very closed, some lime, apples, minerals, citrus, nuts, vanilla, butter and apples rotting in the garden. Lacks freshness and acidity, great minerality and beach leaves, very long mineral driven finish, but the lack of acidity pulls the whole wine apart. 9?


2004 Antinori Tignanello;
Deep ruby with garnet rim, some mocca, vanilla, dried fruits, slightly cooked, massive nose. Ok acidity, unripe green tannins, big fruit, like a ball in the mouth, and those astringent tannins, and an unballanced aftertaste. 85


2002 Damilano Barolo Lecinquevigne;
Deep ruby, pinkish rim, Very intens nose of tar, some roses, dust, cherries and blackberries and hints of liquorice. Medium bodied, high acidity but hard to notice with those astringent tannins, a little bit hollow on the palate and a ripe cherry fruity aftertaste.85

  1. 49 poeng var knallhard dømming for Tignanello:)

  2. Jepp, helt enig, men vinen er helt forferdelig, og det er flere som deler oppfatning av denne i denne årgangen. Normalt er jeg veldig glad i Tignanello, men denne spriker i alle rettninger og henger ikke sammen.
