KKO Bachelor Dinner at Chef Wai: me, kko, bigland, pau, kk, ben, tony, llchan, manl 2007/06/23

 Year  Wine  Price  Rating 
2005 Domaine Seguinot-Bordet Reserve St. Victoire, Chablis
crispy chardonnay, lots of pineapple flavor, refreshing - so - ws
18.00 ***
2004 Domaine Bachelet Vielles Vignes, Gevrey-Chambertin
floral, violet, raspberry, faint hint of BBQ meat, velvety body - so - ws
49.99 ****
2005 Sea Smoke Botella Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara
concentrated cherry and plum and vanilla, super long finish. This wine has never disappointed me. The "Ten" is too powerful and too much like an Aussie Shiraz. I much prefer this less expensive Botella at half the price of "Ten". - so - ws
30 *****
2001 Joseph Phelps Insignia, Napa Valley
well aged, leather, pencil lead, faint hint of tar, plum, mineral, long finish - so - ws
100 *****
2003 Conti di Bregonzo, Amarone
liqueur-like, sherry, tea leaves, raspberry, long finish. Not for everyone, but if one likes liqueur style profile, this is quite flavorful. - so - ws
15 ****
2002 Sequoia Grove Rutherford Reserve Cabernet, Napa Valley
verY concentrated, wet earth, sandalwood, incence, complex long finish. Tasted in Hyatt hotel room with Mattel XO to finish. Nice! - so - ws
50 ****½
