Château de Fieuzal
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2014
2014 vintage. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. Stephen Carrier opted for very gentle extractions for this vintage, looking for a balance,maybe sacrificing a bit of power to preserve the fruit. It seems to have been a wise decision, this 2014 is ready to go, fully mature, with soft tannins balancing the fruit and spices. Very good length also. A great Fieuzal to drink now. Interestingly, it reminds me somehow of Château Musar. Abv. 13,5%. — a month ago

Bekaa Valley Obaideh Merwah 2005
Double-decanted the night before; enjoyed over several hours out of red Solo cups. It’s been several years since my last experience with the 2005 Blanc. The extended air treatment ahead of service is now customary for me with the Blanc and Rosé in particular. The entire bouquet has a chance to unfurl. The wine pours a deep golden color. On the nose, the wine is vinous and recalls my previous experience with the 2005 Blanc: redolent of ripe stone fruits, some dried citrus, wild flower honey, echinacea, marzipan and butterscotch. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long with slightly bitter, testa/skin coat sort of flavor. Fabulous texture. At this rate, I expect well stored cellared examples to drink well beyond my original assessment several years ago. Drink now through 2045+ — 17 days ago

Levantine De Musar Red Blend 2021
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2021 pours, a ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and significant signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of fresh blackberries, black cherry, mixed flowers, and dry, rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. A great sophomore effort of the “Levantine de Musar”. Drink now through 2031.

Incredible wine showing many faces at different dishes. Superb with Ling, not that good with a heavenly sweetbread and fantastic with quail.
Each time showing different sides. — 11 days ago
