Chateau Grand Bel Air

Château Bel Air-Marquis d'Aligre

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Lyle Fass
9.7

Gorgeous but embryonic. Cassis and florality. Tweed jacket. Stunning florals. Tree bark. Desiccated leaves. Palate is round and wonderful but closed. This is so good and soooooo young. 9.7 on potential. — 18 days ago

@Lyle Fass It will be hard to exercise self control but, challenge accepted.

Domaine François Raveneau

Blanchot Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2003

Jay Kline
9.4

The 2003 Blanchot pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, this is developing and all about the minerals with crushed seashell and chalk taking the lead over some verbana and a creamy lemon leesy thing. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and savory, leesy and mineral laden. A special wine that needs air to really come alive. Drink now with patience and through 2033. — 4 months ago

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2008

Ron Siegel
9.4

Drinking well that needed some air to reveal a polished, silky mouthfeel with black fruits, red berry, plum, graphite, mocha, spice & tobacco. This will continue to develop for many years — 2 months ago

Really nice St. Emilion satellite wine. After 30 min the palate is ripe with red and black fruit and vegetation. The tannic bite on the back end is soft and smooth. Great QPR — 4 months ago

Next level. Actually the air from the decant did it well. Could have aired it out longer but we had Warriors game to get to!!! — 2 months ago

First time trying this wine having some how missed it for years. Found it very acidic and lithe. Improved vastly with time and air but still a little lacking. Nice cherry taste. — 5 months ago

I have the same and have to decided to give it another 5 years to give it a chance. To your point, it's just a hint lacking now, Hopefully time will resolve the wine portential
