Domaine Du Haut Bourg

Domaine Huet

Clos du Bourg Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2013

This is the ideal personification of Vouvray. The nose is alive with green apple, pear, white flowers, lime zest, mineral and chalk. The mouthfeel is dry, focused and vibrant with sharp acidity, a crystalline texture, and layers of citrus and saline notes that linger. Great in its youth with great aging potential. — 14 days ago

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Color showing some age already. Nose of ripe plum. Medium acidity with resolved tannins and medium plus finish. Still some fruit at the first sip, which gives way to some wood, coffee and dark chocolate flavors. — 4 days ago

Château Smith Haut Lafitte

Pessac-Léognan Blanc White Bordeaux Blend 2022

Blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc with 5% Semillon and 5% Sauvignon Gris, aged 50% new oak. Medium lemon color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits, citrus and blossom with spicy notes. On the palate flavors of peach, pear and pineapple with slight citrus and honeysuckle adding pepper spice. Long finish, balanced acidity, ending with a fruit, oak and chalky mineral spice character. Very good! Will age well! — 5 days ago

Château Sociando-Mallet

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

I think this is peaking. From a marginal year but really nice. Lots of cedar and a little roasted peanut note augmenting some nice, mellow cassis fruit on the nose. A big whack of intense flavors on initial entry, with tannins still there but softening. A teensy bit drying on the finish, but damn this is nice with grilled butterflied leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary. — a month ago

As you probably know, I love Sociando Mallet, though I prefer them older, but that’s just WTSO Al preference. But their wines are always solid and also reasonably priced by Bordeaux standards!

Domaine Huet

Clos du Bourg Moelleux Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2016

Continues to drink better with more age. Very nicely balanced at present. For my taste, why let any other bottles sit longer? — 7 days ago
