2021 vintage. A great effort for the vintage in a lighter, fresh style. Can be drunk immediately, but should age well. — 3 days ago
2018 vintage. Concentrated and layered, with a ripe tannic structure and great length. — 2 days ago

2021 vintage. New label for Villemaurine, not recognised by the app. A fine effort for the vintage. Fresh and elegant. — 3 days ago
2020 vintage. New label for Bonalgue Pomerol. A rather extracted style in comparison with the Clos du Clocher 2018 tasted alongside. A good Pomerol, that still has some rough edges, but this should be very good with a few years of bottle age. — 3 days ago
2018 vintage. A more flashy, extracted style compared to stable mates Villemaurine and Sansonnet, but very well done. — 3 days ago
2019 vintage. Another fine effort from Villemaurine. This was still made under the Justin Onclin reign, since 2021 Villemaurine is owned by the Lefevere family. — 3 days ago

2018 vintage. Another great effort from this tiny estate that started out as a hobby for oncologist Fady Geara. This beautiful monovarietal Cabernet Franc is produced from vineyards in the village of Aoura, in Northern Lebanon, at 850 meters of altitude. Intense perfume of black and red fruits, oriental spices, mint, and a hint of vanilla. Layers of concentrated juicy fruit and spices, balanced by fresh mountain wine acidity and velvety tannins. Long, fresh finish. Highly recommended. Abv. 14 %. — a day ago
