Last night I opened the 2010 Chateau Feytit-Lagrave a Bordeaux right bank blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from Pomerol.
On the nose were notes of strawberry, plum, raspberry, kirsch, clove, mocha and lavender.
The palate gives notes of tart cherry, tart raspberry, plum, licorice, a bit of oak and a spicy finish.
The wine is medium bodied with medium acidity and medium smooth tannins. A nice everyday wine drinks well now. Have a safe and happy weekend. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷 — 8 years ago

1985 Cru Borgeois from Bel Air Lagrave. Tobacco leaf, cigar smoke, really subtle leather. Very pretty. — 7 months ago
Toasty, but integrated, softens with air. Roses meet dark forest berries, blackcurrant, mocha, and tobacco. Fresh, juicy with balanced tannin and linear acidity. Touch of heat but the finish builds. Opened with time in the glass. Will age 5+ years. Second label. — 7 years ago

2016 vintage. Jérémy Chasseuil is working miracles here. Needs a bit of air, but after half an hour in the decanter it really started to shine. Intense perfume of raspberries, blueberries, violets, rosemary and a hint of truffles lurking in the background. Concentrated, with layers of red and black fruit and subtle spices. Velvety tannins and hardly noticeable oak. Very long too. Still very much under the radar, a great chance to buy a high end Pomerol for less than a 100 euro. — a month ago
