Terrazas de Los Andes

Cheval des Andes Mendoza Malbec Blend 2004

Dusty left bank aromatics. Strong at 15 years - a medium to full bodied palate still vibrant and alive. A word on Drinking Windows - A UK source I respect greatly said 2016-2018 for this wine but this tasting showed there was a lot of life left - maybe another 4 to 5 years I would say. To be fair it is an inexact science. This the Argentinian venture of Right Bank Icon, Chateau Cheval Blanc. 55% Malbec, 43% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot. There is no doubt you could mistake this as Bordeaux. An excellent Wine singing at 15 years. — 7 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1975

An evening of Lynch-Bages with Stephen Bolger. Included 04 Dom Rose and a 95 Heidsieck Millenaires, ‘16 LB Blanc and the. A beautiful cascade of wines including 1961, 1970, 1975, 1986, 1989, 1996, 2000 and 2005. I would say the 1989 was surprisingly closed and primary and everything after, while still having a beautiful perfume, needed much time. Everything showed beautifully and my personal favorite was actually the 1975 because it was such a tough-as-nails vintage and yet showed a beautiful delicacy. Splitting hairs to pick a favorite. One of my favorite estates just jumped even higher in my estimation! — 8 years ago

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

Opened this btl from a case that I purchased on futures. This is still very young and needs a min of 10 more years to start reaching its peak drinking window. This had black fruits along with plum, the Cab Franc really stood out showing pepper and dried herbs along with licorice and vanilla spice. This also had a shoe polish like perfume and floral notes. This a legendary Cheval in the making. — 9 years ago

Great intensity but tight and not giving much at the moment. Focused, lemony, mineral, steel. Structured and incredibly concentrated on the palate. Tremendous balance and energy. Hold and wait in excitement! — 7 years ago

Château Quinault

L'Enclos St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

I have Soooo much love for 2012 Bordeaux! There is a lot of chiseled black fruit that dances on your tongue along with rich notes of licorice. A pop and pour for us this evening that of course gained complexity with air. No doubt contributions from the owners of Ch. Cheval Blanc and Biodynamic farming have benefited this property!

Goes beyond the labels of Merlot and Cabernet franc and results in a beautiful expression of 21st century Bordeaux!
