Château Mauvesin Barton
Moulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2015
2015 vintage. I last tasted this 2 years ago, and today it is fully mature, the tannins have softened, and the wine has gained in complexity and elegance. But I don't see this getting any better,so drink asap. Moreover,it sells for a song. From the owners of famous Saint- Julien Léoville Barton ( that is still reasonably priced, check the incredible 2022 Léoville Barton!). — a month ago
Château Durfort-Vivens
Margaux Cru Classé en 1855 Red Bordeaux Blend 2019
2019 vintage. I had very little experience with Durfort-Vivens before, but today's tasting was extraordinary. The grand vin 2019 is stunning, concentrated and elegant at the same time, with an incredible purity of fruit, and haute couture tannins, culminating in a very long finish. Well worth the money. — 2 months ago
Château Mouton-Baronne-Philippe
Pauillac en hommage a Pauline Red Bordeaux Blend 1985
Popped and poured; enjoyed over a red sauce pasta night at home. High shoulder fill, but the cork completely disintegrated during removal. Juice is still drinking exceptionally well; shockingly fresh for being 40. Tons of black fruit and strong spices, with its age showing via expected tobacco and leather notes. Very structured via strong tannins and acidity; long and smooth / velvety finish...meaning this still has room to run. Cheers! — 5 months ago

We had it on a diner with friends. Food was a bit of a disappointment considering the reputation (and the price tag) but the bottle was frankly excellent. Tell tale claret which is delivering the goods now but no rush. — 2 months ago
