Medium ruby just beginning to get a brick rim. A bit stemmy on the nose, with some vegetal character and green pepper underpinning the tobacco and minerality. A little cassis and blueberry fruit - 40% merlot in this cépage — 7 years ago

Great vintage for GL just a point or two below their 82 showing an old school styled Bordeaux with black berry, red currant, cedar, leather, damp soil, mineral, dried herbs, soy, mineral, sweet tobacco & cigar ash. — 7 years ago

damn—forgot how good P-Y C-M did in 2010. Intense essence of Chardonnay, like boiling down a gallon of wine into a few ounces, tastebuds are in shock. The concentration and balance of this wine are stunning. Great stuff—and just a St. Aubin! — 8 years ago

This is unmistakably Saint Joseph. Firing on all cylinders - dark fruit, herbs, smoke, and maybe just a touch of meatiness. Elegant, affordable Northern Rhone Syrah goodness. Love it. — 9 years ago

This 2013 is really well balanced. Of course we can't compare with the amazing 2009 and 2010 but this wine is very fruity strawberry blackcurrant and liquorice. Enjoyable from now and for the next 15 years. It reminds me off the 2007 which was criticised and nowadays nobody is able to recognise this vintage blind according the fact that it is just delicious.
2013 shows us that Lagrange is a Chateau who produce every year very consistent Wine.
No bad vintages just a different window of tasting. .. one of the best value for money in Bordeaux 2013 — 9 years ago

This is the second wine of Cos d’ Estournel, Les Pagodes De Cos. I find it’s a good idea not only to buy first wines of Bordeaux in good vintages but, also buy the hell out of 2nd wines of good producers as it’s a close relative of their first wine for a lot less money 💰. 2005 was a marquee vintage in Bordeaux.

On the nose, ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, black raspberries, baked strawberries and notes of blackberries. Black cherry cola, saddle-wood, limestone minerals, graphite, crushed, dry rocks, stones, hints of; vanilla, clove & very light cinnamon. Dark rich soil, dry stones, anise, fresh & dry red and dark flowers.

The body is not quite full. The tannins are round, soft and well resolved, 65%. The structure, tension, length and balance are peaking. Ripe & slight ruby; blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, black raspberries, baked strawberries and notes of blackberries. Black cherry cola, saddle-wood, dark spice, dry stems, mint, limestone minerals, slightly moist clay, graphite, charcoal ash, crushed, dry rocks, stones, tobacco with ash, hints of; vanilla, clove & very light cinnamon. Dark rich soil, dry stones, anise, fresh & dry red and dark flowers. The acidity is quite nice. The long finish is; ripe & ruby, elegant, well polished & balanced and lasts minutes.

It’s just short of its peak and will drink well for another 8–10 years.

Photos of; the majesty of Chateau Cos d’ Estournel, library cellar, see through floor barrel room and the back terrace and grounds of the Chateau.

This Anjou Saumur is a character heavy floral white. Took me a minute to appreciate and undetstand it but once I got there, I was impressed. — 8 years ago

A wine from Anthony that's finally ready. Just kidding. It's the volatile acidity holding this wine together. Completely resolved tannins. Ripe lean; blackberries, dark cherries, blueberries. It's almost all fruit with just a hint of earth and minerality. Fun to drink. I always like to ask, what were you doing in 1978? Nice of Lilian Barton to model the bottle for my photo. Thank you for bringing this wine. A real treat to try. — 9 years ago

A bit past its prime on the 81, tons of leather and not enough fruit balance. Still was a very nice bottle just not as expected. — 10 years ago

Really well done, great density of flavor, bit surprised by such rugged tannins, intensely dark brooding & opaque with ripe cherry & tomato vine, crushed stone & minerals, violets & spice, this layered rascal just kept showing more and more... stood up to lamb like a champ! — 7 years ago

This is just lovely with hints of black cherry and plum with creosote, black pepper and soy accents. Palate is full of spicy Syrah flavors with lots of white pepper, plum and black raspberry. Tannins are present but sauve with lifting acidity. Just a great level of balance on the earth driven finish. — 7 years ago

Great Nuits. Red fruits (cranberry/cherry), touch of earth and herbs and just a hint of oak. On the palate add a touch of sweetness and sauvage that is well balanced and focused. — 12 years ago
