Vintage 2018 | First time this wine. Young but so compelling. All Bordeaux characteristics. I wish I had it with a steak. — 19 days ago

This wine has shed its new worldish baby fat and is now a classic haut medoc with graphite on the nose, plums and blueberries. Smoke, cedar and dried leaves. Good acidity and a lingering finish. — a year ago

Last night I opened the 2009 Château Cambon la Pelouse. Left Bank Bordeaux from Macau in the Haut-Medoc. A blend of 54% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot.

On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, tobacco, licorice, cedar, charcoal anddark earth.

On the palate is black cherry, blackberry, black currant, green bell pepper, cedar, licorice and pencil shavings.

This wine is full bodied with a silky smooth mouthfeel medium acidity and medium fine tannins that leaves you with a medium to medium + long fleshy dark fruit earthy finish. Please have a wonderful weekend and stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 3 years ago

Vintage 2018 | Often Sociando Mallet really needs time. 2018 is gorgeous now. Plums, blackberries, hint of raspberries, great balance. Good acidity. Amazing soft tannins. What a wine! — a year ago

2016 vintage. Apart from their huge Margaux vineyards (about 100 hectares), Château Giscours also owns 60 hectares of Haut-Medoc vineyards. This 2016 is drinking beautifully now, smooth and sensual. Good value too at less than 20 euros. Reportedly a 50/50 Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend. Abv. 13%. — 3 years ago

I love this Bordeaux from Medoc! Per WE vintage chart the 2015 rates in at a 99, of course not ready to drink yet! I have a few more tucked away and wanted to give this a spin! Thank you @David T for the recommendation!
Finesse is all I can say. Every element is meshed exceedingly well! Smoke, chocolate, dark berries, espresso, earth, leather, pencil lead, and violets.
This wine does not have the wallop of a Napa cab..but think Old World on steroids! — 4 years ago

2022 vintage. This large estate is co-owned by Castel and Suntory (the group also owns Beychevelle), and this 2022 represents great value for money. 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. Compared to the Castel-owned Barreyres tasted alongside, Beaumont features a more black fruit personality,with more concentration and complexity,for only 1 euro more. Terrific value. — 8 months ago

Young but accessible already. Love this classic haut medoc palate: Blackcurrant, dark cherry, clove, earthiness, cigarboxes & pencil shavings. Pretty classic in profile and with a great potential. — 2 years ago
