Château Croizet Bages

Château Haut-Bages Libéral

Pauillac de Haut-Bages Libéral 2015

2015 vintage. The anti-Pauillac. Lean. Light. Feminine. Oodles of graphite with delicate earth note framing. Substantive, yet hushed, push towards a happy finish. This is just beginning to find itself. 04.11.25. — 7 months ago

Château Trotanoy

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1995

Very fun comparing to the lynch bages. This one needs a little more time. Straight pepper bomb with an extremely tannic finish. — 6 years ago

Domaine des Sénéchaux

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2016

Have CdP somewhat rarely now but was curious to try this both because it’s 2016 and because it’s now owned by the Cazes family of Lynch-Bages in Bordeaux and who have been extremely hospitable to us in the past. Was skeptical of the 15% labeled abv but I think this is in a great place with a bit of a chill. The fruit is quite powerful, but in a great way, and nothing is overbearing. Perfect with skirt steak off the grill. — 3 years ago

Château Ormes de Pez

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

2015 vintage. 49% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. From the Cazes stable (Lynch Bages). Surprisingly light on its feet, especially compared to the Haut- Condissas Médoc 2015 tasted alongside. Floral and elegant, more like a Margaux than a Saint- Estèphe. Ready to drink. Abv. 13,5 %. — 8 months ago

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Delectable Wine
9.5

The 2018 Grand Puy Lacoste has a quintessential Pauillac nose of intense black fruit infused with graphite scents, pencil shavings and a very discreet marine influence. It is beautifully defined, less opulent than the 2018 Lynch Bages tasted alongside, yet maybe more complex. The palate is medium-bodied and taut, offering sappy black fruit, gritty tannins and a lot of crushed stone. The focused, graphite-driven finish could only come from this appellation. Superb. A wine to correct those bemoaning that Bordeaux no longer makes "proper Claret." (Neal Martin, Vinous, March 2021)

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1999

Not my favorite vintage of Dominus but paired well when served blind with the 00 Lynch Bages showing Bordeaux like notes of red & black fruits, cassis, earth, cedar & leather that was not as rich & aromatic as the LB. — 7 years ago

Masies d'Avinyo Abadal

Pla de Bages DO Cabernet Franc

Black cherry, worn leather, and licorice are nothing new together, but this has a skillful balance of brightness and brooding that keeps me plenty interested. Unexpected blend. A great bargain. — 8 years ago
