Château La Croix St. Georges

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

Chris England

9.8

Occasionally you come across an incredible wine at a price that makes your draw drop on the quality to price ratio 😎

La Croix St George’s has always delivered amazing value from Pomerol for me but today we found a 1990 at €90 & to say it blew us away is a complete understatement!!

We immediately bought the other 11, in the case we found lurking in a cellar in St Emilion, & drank this one with a Beef Steak in a local restaurant for lunch - it was simply superb 😍

Aromas to die for & full of complex fruits with age potential left 😉 Normally you’d pay €200-€500 for a wine like this!

I’ll do a detailed review on the next bottle as we just enjoyed this so much we didn’t take notes but this 1990 La Croix St Georges is a 98-99 pointer for us ..... & at €90 😍 Incredible 💥 A very understated wine 😎

Got to love St Emilion backstreet cellars 😉👍🍷

Did I say it was €90 😁 — 7 years ago

The Sadie wines are treasures. Eben Sadie makes wine in the ways I’d make wine. Treinspoor is something unique. I’d be shocked if anyone could call the grape blind though it makes sense after you think about it. Tinta Barocca is usually made for Port and you can draw the link to prune, plumb, raisins, spruce, and oak. Bone dry, fleshy tannins. — 6 years ago

Château Palmer

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

Chris England

9.8

The fight was a draw on points but on QPR the judges voted on the Palmer 🥇

At £340 it has less life but better & a bigger thrill drinking today 🥊 a bit more masculine than Ch Margaux

🍷 Deep ruby w/ brick edge

👃 Perfumed red flower, burnt oak, musty cellar, dark berry fruits, cocoa Black Forest morello cherry gateaux, liquorice & herbs

👄 Med body of super smooth dark berry w/ rich mocha liquorice

🎯 Long lingering rich deep liquorice dark mocha through dark spiced berries — 8 years ago

Domaine Roulot

Les Meix Chavaux Meursault Chardonnay 2004

Tasted blind chez Roulot, and of course it is an 04. Vibrant acidity, unfurling now past a tight reduction into an open, maturing mix of rich citrus, tea, spice, stone. Lovely and lucky — 8 years ago
