9.0

Medium(+) intensity aromas of black fruit (plum, cherry and prune) with secondary aromas of oak (cedar, smoke and dark chocolate) and just beginning to show some tertiary aromas and flavors of tobacco leaf and prunes. The wine has medium(+) acidity, medium(+) fine grained textural tannins and medium(+) body. The finish is medium (+) and while slightly grippy, those tannins are ripe and it’s that structure which will give it the ability to age in bottle for another 5/7 years. There is enough fruit and defined aromas and flavors to balance the acidity and the tannins which want to be the protagonista of this wine. A solid Claret. #saintestephe #bordeaux #grandvindebordeaux #cabernet #cabernetsauvignon #merlot and just 5% #petitverdot — 5 years ago

Château Tour Grand Faurie

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Young St. Emilion blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Red berries, plum and smoky notes. Medium to full bodied, chrisp acidity and some heat from alcohol. Still a little bit off, needs year or two to settle down. Don’t know can I wait so long for this very decent wine with excelent value. — 6 years ago

Les Rousselots Cuvée de la Tour St Denis Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Pinot Noir 2017

Like Pinot Noirs? This one is not to be missed. Subtle, but velvety fruit you would expect from Bourgogne - but a slight tanginess on finish. Paired incredibly well with our walleye! — 6 years ago

Domaine des Pierres Sèches Sylvain Gauthier

Cuvée Georges de la Tour Syrah

A poor man’s St. Joseph (and I ain’t rich). Peppery, minerally, blackberry fruit scents are lifted and wafty. Mouthfilling but lean, if that’s a thing. Great acids. — 7 years ago

Chateau Haut Tour de Coutelin

Saint Estephe Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Wow, flavor bomb 💥 intense and complex. Tobacco, mocha, cedar, graphite, and dirt around a nice core of sweet and charred dark fruit, cassis, plum, and blackberry. Soft, round, and long. Yum!

Drank really well after a splash decant, faded a tad after a few hours.

Much better day 2. Red fruit, leather, fairly light bodied, dry and balanced but not too complex. — 5 years ago

Château Tour Baladoz

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Oak and spice aromas. Lots of oak. Darker red fruit and some black, lots of oak spice on the palate. Way too young right now. — 6 years ago

Cuvée Tour Joviac La Prieuré d'Arras St. Joseph Syrah 2014

This is a 100 % organic Syrah grown on decomposed granite hillsides in Saint Joseph, displaying violet, ripe black fruits with hint of dried blueberry, black pepper and vanilla. Slightly musky, dusty, med plus body with great acidity and med plus tannin. A wonderful Saint Joseph has depth, structure, and fruitiness. — 6 years ago

Château Tour de Lagarde

St. Émilion Grand Cru 2009

Deep garnet purple in the glass. Abundant nose of cassis and graphite, echoed on the palate with a bit of additional black fruit. Medium acidity. Medium tannins. Lengthy, dark finish. Classic right bank Bordeaux that’s drinking very well now, but still has a few good years left. Filet with Bordelaise is a natural, but work your way out from there. — 6 years ago

Domaine Ponsot

Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1990

Tour d’Argent. Tawny, heavy color in the glass. The Somm smiles. I smile. The room smiles. This is killer juice that opens with a fragrant bouquet of ripe bing cherries, earthly spice, some sois bois, and some Asian spice. I’ve had this wine probably 10+ times and this is easily the best of them. Silky smooth. The nose is sexual. Killer juice. Worth the price. — 6 years ago

In Feb there was scaffolding covering the rear. Now there is more scaffolding, some signs of the fire and no spire of course. Sad.

The list is still a monster. Old stuff is picked through but it’s all relative because mid 90s is now “old stuff”. If you know what to look for there are good options. Ps the food is significantly improved at TdA. Even better this time vs Feb. Worth a look again.
