Château Haut Coteau

M. Chapoutier

Domaine de Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem Syrah Blend

NOSE: mild, cooked fruit, a little carob. Inoffensive but not especially inviting.

TASTE: cooking spices, chicory, ash, a little bitter —unsweetened minerally dark chocolate - red fruit barely present and dried. Very balanced and elegant. This is going to kill with the herb roasted chicken I’m about to eat. 91.

Château Bernadotte

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

NOSE: Crayola, cranberry, a flower I can’t quite place, meat, iron, blood orange, raspberry. All light and receded … but color me intrigued!

TASTE: lovely lightweight Bordeaux - red fruit and floral flavors are muted but pleasant and elegantly “integrated.” “Feminine” is the right word. I love it! 91.

Château Malescasse

Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2008

Appearance: clear clarity, medium intensity, garnet. Nose: clean condition, medium intensity, aroma - cigar, black berry, fruitcake, stewed prune. Palate: dry, high acidity, medium (+) chalky tannin, flavour - dark cherry, chocolate, smoky, long finish. Conclusion, very good and approachable cab-sauv, great value for its price tag ($33), alcohol and flavour greatly integrated. — 11 years ago

Château Sociando-Mallet

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

2020 vintage. Big, darkly-fruited nose that rolls over to the flavors. Medium body. Great complexity for initial and mid-palates, Finish is where things drop off a cliff. Solid banger for the price. If only some of that impressive, frontal assault could be transferred to the back end, we'd be in clover. Nice, first-time BDX to get the palate rolling/draw people in tho. 3.15.24. — 2 months ago

Le Haut-Lieu Demi-Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2007

Love the demi-sec style—paired beautifully with a fresh produce-forward dinner. Lots of peach and apricot, honey, pronounced lime pith, fresh flowers and grass, and plentiful acid, stone and a sort of savory bitterness that balances the RS — 8 months ago
