Château Camensac

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

Firmly in tertiary territory at first, with mushroom and soy sauce on the nose and palate. After 20 minutes or air time fruit came to life, still with good acidity and chewy tannin. Has plenty of life in in but very tasty right now. — 4 years ago

Château Citran

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

9.3

This 96 Citran seriously over delivers @Cole’s Chop House Napa. Bought this 8 months or so ago for $39.99 at K&L. Clyde has brought in another grand slam value -golden gem.

Previous notes apply. Nearly 94 with the Cowboy Bone-in Ribeye. The Cowboy is their best steak and the only one I order.

I am mostly disappointed in most steakhouse recommendations or read, not Cole’s.

Château du Retout

Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Dark, rich color from the Petit Verdot. Wonderful blend of grapes from the Left Bank. My favorite bottle out of 7 that we tasted during a Bordeaux battle at Total Wine (Left vs Right bank). Two weeks later I brought a bottle to a party & shared with my closest friends with great success. Each sip takes you further into a sophisticated state of wine drinking. Balance and poise, rich tasting experience with notes of tobacco, leather and light spices. This wine is incredible for the price and launched my deep appreciation for Bordeaux wine as an experience. Love it!!! — 10 years ago

Château de Lamarque

Marquis d'Evry Red Bordeaux Blend 2021

Château de Lamarque “Héritiers des Marquis d’Evry” 2021
Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷

Overview
This vintage is a classic Bordeaux blend—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot—sourced from a historic Haut-Médoc château with roots stretching back to the 15th century. It’s the “second wine” of Château de Lamarque, offering approachability while retaining estate quality. The appellation’s gravelly terroir and structured style are evident in every sip.
 

Aromas & Flavors
Rippling with blackcurrant and cassis, the wine is wreathed in cedar, tobacco, and earthy undertones. On the palate, dense fruit and toast meld with a hint of spice—classic left-bank elegance with that savory Médoc streak.
 

Mouthfeel
Medium to full-bodied with refined tannins and vibrant acidity. A balanced structure makes it satisfying now, while promising graceful evolution over the next 5–10 years.
 

Winemaking Notes
The estate cultivates a blend of vines: roughly 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. Fermentation occurs in hidden concrete vats, followed by aging—with about 25% in new French oak barrels.
 

Food Pairing
Perfectly paired with robust fare: beef steaks, roast lamb, silverside, game, and dishes enveloped in rich, savory sauces.


Verdict
A solid Haut-Médoc “second wine” that mirrors the terroir and tradition of Château de Lamarque at a more accessible level—classic, savory, and beautifully balanced. Cheers!

定番酒、初の2019年もの。フェリシティ税込2211円。タンニンが立つためか大好物の2018年よりパワフルに感ずる。曖昧な記憶を辿れば、であるが2016や2017より素晴らしい。しかしほんの少し甘味が優位な2018の方が好みなんである。

Château Verdignan

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1961

1961. Wine older than me. Lots of cedar box and cigar. Tannin completely resolved. Lots of tertiary aromas and flavor. Can’t believe after all these years....still going strong. At Bern’s in Tampa. Page 85 of the 180 page wine list. More like a wine book. — 9 years ago
