2010 vintage. A classic La Tour Blanche with roasted pineapple, nuts, beeswax and flowers. Rich and complex, with good balancing acidity and great length. — 8 days ago
2023 Le Colombier de Brown white. Obvious oak in the nose, bit integrated. Exotic fruit, roasted nuts. A rather rich style, that is Sémillon driven. — 9 days ago
2019 vintage. No score. Very disappointing bottle, weird nose, drying bitter finish. Another Diam cork. This estate makes very reliable wines. Therefore, don't blame it on the sunshine, don't blame it on the moonlight, don't blame it on the good times, blame it on the Diam 😢 — 2 days ago

2023 Intuition blanc from Fleur Cardinale. 45% Sauvignon Blanc, 39% Sémillon and 16% Sauvignon Gris. An excellent white from Saint-Emilion, with a beautiful balance between freshness and opulence. — 9 days ago
2022 vintage. An excellent Amiral with the opulence and complexity of the vintage. — 9 days ago
2022 vintage. A very serious wine for the price. Mainly Merlot, with some Cabernet Franc. Needs a bit of time to open up. Blackberries and spicy oak. Quite powerful and extracted. I would prefer a bit more finesse, but a solid effort for the price. — 4 days ago
2024 vintage. A lighter style of Sauternes with much less residual sugar. Delicate, fresh and bright. This could be enjoyed as an aperitif, or with light curries. — 9 days ago
2021 vintage. A light, fresh, uncomplicated Pomerol. — 9 days ago
2023 vintage. Aspirant is a very limited production. A nice value more fruit-forward Saint-Julien that doesn't break the bank. 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Merlot. — 9 days ago

2020 vintage. One of my favourite vintages for Cantemerle, and the second wine is delicious too. While it doesn't have the complexity and length of the grand vin, it's a nice, elegant Haut-Médoc in its own right. — a day ago
