Bel Olivier

Château Olivier

Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Delectable has like seven different versions of this wine in its ID function, which dilutes people’s ratings and impressions. Bummer. Dense color with a little bricking at the rim. Love the classic Pessac nose: earthy, cured tobacco verging on something vaguely vegetal, dark plummy fruit. Deep on the palate. Coats the mouth with rich, earthy flavors and deep fruit. Lots of tannin still but the flavor density does a pretty good job overriding it. Will definitely age. I clearly opened it too early in its development. — 12 days ago

Olivier Leflaive

Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2022

Somm David T
9.2

I have always appreciated the style of Olivier Leflaive. As well, Chassagne-Montrachet as a whole. Always, brings me back to our lunch on the patio of Hotel Montrachet during our first trip to Burgundy and our next trip having lunch at the property with Olivier.

The 22 is drinking nicely…a bit more refined than my first bottle. Some waxiness and nice viscosity. Bright lemon w/ a note of sour, green apple-the first bite with skin, pineapple, white stone fruits, kiwi, tropical melons, notes of honey, good presence of saline, sea fossils, vanillin & caramel hues, a bit of dry herbs, dry volcanic minerals, wet river stone, fruit blossoms, yellow lilies and jasmine, spring rainfall acidy with a rich, elegant, well balanced finish that longs sets on just a touch of white spice w/ gentle heat.

Château Bel-Air (Domaines Henri Martin)

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1988

Had zero expectations for this wine at a party featuring lost bottles from your cellar. It was like a raspberry preserve that you canned 10 years ago and still has the essence of that years growing season. An unexpected joy. — 6 months ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

A bottle of chateauneuf-de-pape with the complete love of my life (fiancée). I could be drinking bin juice and I’d still rate it a 10 now and forever. Bring it on baby. — 5 days ago

Pessac-Léognan Blanc White Bordeaux Blend 2018

Lovely white Bordeaux. The Semillon dominated at the beginning, finishing with lemon from the Sauvignon Blanc. Straightforward and nowhere as complex as the Malartic-Lagraviere, but a delicious bottle of wine. The nose had a great citrus and flower aroma. — 4 years ago

Château Bel Air-Marquis d'Aligre

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Lyle Fass
9.7

Absolutely gorgeous nose of cedar, wood shavings, pine, cigar, cassis and florals, with classic Margaux perfume and extraordinary depth. The palate has really smoothed out since my last bottle, with creamy cassis, unbelievable juiciness, tiny-berry concentration, sweet velvety pointillist tannins and beautiful minerality carrying an enormously long finish. Still structured and angular enough to age, but now far more integrated. One of the great Bordeauxs. — 2 months ago
