Château Croizet-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

2020 vintage. It's a pleasure to see that the Quié family ( also Rauzan-Gassies and Tronquoy-Lalande) is finally getting serious about quality. Easily the best wine I have ever tasted from this former perennial underachiever. A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. Cassis, blueberries and toasted oak. Medium-bodied, with juicy black fruit and ripe tannin. It lacks a bit of concentration in the midpalate, but the finish is unexpectedly long. Abv. 14%. — a year ago

Château Rauzan-Gassies

L'Orme Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

An excellent value. For $31.50 a solid, brooding Merlot blend with deep black fruit flavors and tar. Is this an excellent Bordeaux? No. But it delivers true Bordeaux flavor appropriate for an everyday meal like a hamburger 🍔 or cheese. Worth buying for under $35. — 12 days ago

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

I didn’t enjoy this much right out of the bottle, but really liked it after decanting for an hour (and letting the temperature increase a bit). Too dumb with wine to describe flavors other than tasty — 2 months ago

Château Desmirail

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

2020 vintage. A great effort from this rather obscure Cru Classé that once was part of the immense Rauzan estate and even briefly owned by Château Palmer, before it was sold in 1980 to the legendary Lucien Lurton. Since 1992 it is managed by Denis Lurton ( one of the 10 children of Lucien). A blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot. The great ( and very humble) Eric Boissenot consults. Interesting fact: the Merlots were harvested very early in 3 days from September 17th until the 20th, just before the rains on the 21st, that reduced the alcoholic degree of the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that came in at 12% abv., creating a very fresh balanced blend. Dark red with purplish rim. Seductive perfume combining black cherries, cassis, flowers, cedar wood, and rosemary. Elegant and fresh, with very pure fruit, well-tamed tannin, and very good length. Abv. 13%. Very good value, an estate to watch. — 10 months ago

Château Pas de Rauzan

Bordeaux Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Deep ruby in color, almost purple; cherries, black pepper, and dried herbs on the nose; medium plus acidity; high tannins; tastes like black cherries, roasted plums, graphite, and a hint of eucalyptus with a long fruity finish. — 8 months ago
