Château Pontet Bayard

Rénard

Tres Niños Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Proof that you don’t have to have 15+% alc out of Napa to be stunning. Velvety tannins, leather, tobacco, cassis. Gorgeous balance. Cheers Bayard. — 8 years ago

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

More approachable than the pontet cantet 2006. Opens up pretty quickly — 9 years ago

Château Pavie Decesse

Saint Emilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Started out all berries and shaved chocolate and opened up beautifully....then really clamped down a bit after a couple hours...killer wine just starting to show some age notes but leave it alone still....really nice next to the 2004 Pontet Canet. — 10 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

I’m a sucker for barton. Family liked the pontet canet better but this st julien was delicious. Black currant, leather, mineral - classic Bordeaux. If you want a producer well priced and built to age this is it. — 8 years ago

Château Pontet Reynaud

Bordeaux Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

3.4 Lovely Bordeaux if a bit young. Nice taste but not much nose. On sale for $13.99, with Groupon was $10.39, a very good buy. — 10 years ago

Steak and claret night rides again! Thanks for opening this dad! Blind, I guessed 2010 Pontet Canet on account of all the pencil lead and good acidity. As usual, CS tastes a lot more expensive than it is! — 10 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1988

Classic lunch bags and just a stellar treat in a crowded sea of Napa cab. My fave 5th growth by a long shot but Pontet Canet and Grand Puy Lacoste aren't far behind. The Lynch seems to shine for me regardless of vintage. — 9 years ago

Château Gruaud Larose

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1994

9.4

Ideal maturity! Like Pontet-Canet and Leoville-Barton, Gruaud made a better 1994 than the more famous 1995 & 1996. This isn't just good for an off year- with prime rib it is great cassis loaded, medium bodied, vibrant claret. — 10 years ago
