Domaine du Castel

Grand Vin Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

From a magnum bottle.
The cork was challenging, too dry and crumbled on its way out....
A very powerful nose and a full body, tasty, exceptional balanced wine is experienced.

HBTM! 🥳 🎉🎂 🎈

A Christmas present from Sofia.

This is still somewhat taut and dry, meaty tannins. The first time you should open this Grand Vin. Decanted four and a half hours. It has another 20 years of good drinking ahead.

Bramble, dry blackberries, black plum, black raspberries, dry, dark cherries. Dry twig, dry crushed rocks, lead pencil for days, sandstone/limestone, dark, rich, earth with dry leaves, cigar box, ash, leathery, dark spice, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon sticks and vanillin, slightly, moist, volcanic clay, dry & withering flowers that are dark, red and violets framed in lavender, perfect round acidity, structured, well tensioned, overly balanced to earth and smartly polished finish that lands on earth & spice. 

The 02 should be opened in another 8-10 years and will still drink well in another 20 years properly stored.

Paired with AB Brothers Ribcap, crispy baked potato & cooked carrots.

Photos of, their late summer, early fall vineyards and their iconic storage building/vineyard & stainless tanks.

The 07 Turnbull Napa almost seemed grape juice like after the 82 Les Forts & 02 Latour.

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Can’t tell if not in a great spot or maybe some slight heat damage—but leaning to the latter. Tasty, but not as good as it should have been — a month ago

Château Gressier Grand Poujeaux

Grand Vin Bordeaux 1989

From farfar’s cellar. Opened with Will and Monika and Kalen and Hugo. Tough to get the cork out but I did a yeomans job. Developing very well over time, started a bit astringent on the finish but now showing much more structure. Beautiful. — 7 months ago
