Château Haut-Segottes

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Eucalyptus at first, then full prune-raisin flavors. medium-plus body. Versatile foodwise. Did not get the "brett" that others describe. — 9 years ago

Château Montrose

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1970

Dusty tannin. Some Brett. Earth tobacco mushroom spice. High int acid. — 10 years ago

Château Léoville Poyferré

Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Really on point. Brett and vegetal quality actually find great balance in this challenging vintage. Perhaps a function of better fruit making it to the pavilion. Either way I imagine this is what most young Bordeaux tasted like pre-1980s. — 10 years ago

Yeah, even with my hate filter firmly placed in mouth, I found the 2012 Opus to be one of the most outstanding things I tasted at Texsom last summer.

89-91 Opus got it right...not so much after 95 but I haven't had anything since 2006 or so.

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

This is finally shedding it's tannin. Took a little while for the Brett to blow off but under that was nice dark fruits with some tinderbox aromas and smoke. A more primal Latour, but still a great Pauillac. — 11 years ago

Way too young now but destined for greatness. Chris Howell knows how to showcase what the mountain gives him. This wine, with its hints of well integrated Brett, is not only distinctive for Napa, but stands out against others from the mountain AVAs. Cellar for a long time! — 11 years ago
