Château Haut Grignon

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan White Bordeaux Blend 2013

More expressive than HB.
Very elegant, deep and austere.
At the same time it’s able to be expressive.

Château Haut-Batailley

Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot Blend 2023

Pauillac power. At the same time it is a well constructed wine. Fine and pretty mid palate with shut by a harsh finish which will smoothen with time. 92 + — 18 days ago

Château Caronne Ste. Gemme

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Full bodied, dense, deep ruby Bordeaux. On the nose: dark mulberry fruit,cedar, & a touch of eucalyptus/camphor. On the palate: dark fruit, cedar and light tannins. After 40 minutes decanted the tannins recede and the soft fruit is delicious. This wine is fully mature and a terrific offering from Medoc. If you have it or can get it, drink now and enjoy! — a month ago

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

Outstanding QPR! 51% Cab Sauv, then Merlot, Cab Franc, and Petit Verdot. Drinking very well now with some air but has stuffing. Love the balance here. With NY Strip. — 2 months 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

Château Haut-Segottes

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Dark black fruits but also earthiness on the nose, light on the palate with red cherry, smooth acidity, big but fine-grained tannins. This one needs food (vs the one I had earlier with the movie). — 2 months ago

It has something really unique as always. But it’s missing that intensity.

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.
