Blason Rosé Brut Champagne Blend

8.9

Raspberry, pomegranate, peach, grapefruit, light brioche, and hint of white flower. Great fruit intensity. Robust and clean. The mousse were a bit too aggressive.
For about the same price, I will take B-S or L-P anytime.

I always like the balance of the L-P rose, but this bottle seems to be particularly full and creamy and lacking a bit tension. Beautiful red and citrus fruits, clean and fresh. Super delicious nevertheless. — 4 years ago

Château de la Louvière

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

2019 vintage. Underbrush and certain amount of weediness on the nose. Medium body. Full color. That Graves/Pessac-Léognan milk chocolate texture. Flush and full mouthfeel. Gliding finish. Unexpected balance of fruit and tannins in a pop and pour price range. More oomph (generally) than Malartic Lagravière but less than Chevalier. Drink now? Yes. Drink in 25 years? Probably not. Likely has a end game of 15 years with the sweet spot in the (shocker) 5-8 year range. Picked up at Costco and price was $32 USD. Affordable Graves/P-L not the easiest BDX to source. This was firing from the get go. 7.22.24. — a year ago

This chateau regularly overachieves.

@Tom Casagrande On the lookout. Doubtful I’ll be able to find a case or two or the 2019 at this price now tho. Maybe the 2020 or 2021.

Château Prieuré-Lichine

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

2018 vintage. Graphite, cherry and ripe dark plum in the nose. That tantalizing P-L perfectly medium body. Dill, rosemary, cedar, mint and sandalwood adding to the plum and cherry on the finish. “Devolving” a bit as the evident showiness of the last six months is retreating. Wine is a living thing so it’s allowed to have attitude. Crawling back into its’ shell for now. — 3 years ago

@Ron R thanks but was hoping the juice was headed the other direction. A fave producer so optimistic it'll emerge bigger and better.

Boscarelli (Marchesi de Ferrari Corradi)

de Ferrari Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2018

Schöner Sangiovese mit ein bisschen Holz und guter Frucht, aber nicht zu unterschätzender Säure. Zum Essen besser als solo, daher nur eine 9,0, P L bei 11 EUR ok — 4 years ago

Brut Rosé Champagne

9.1

Always like the fruit transparency in the bottling. Strawberry, raspberry, pink grapefruit and light yeast. The palate is vibrant yet soft, and a bit feminine, possibly because of comparison to the L-P rose.
A delight as usual. And very good value for around $50.

Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Auslese** Mosel Riesling 2020

Lyle Fass
9.7

White Cap. Stunning. Magic. Nose of slate, lime zest, lime blossom, herbs and just so airy and expansive. A 9.7 nose. Zeltinger Sonnenuhr sweet tart. Palate is expansive and incisive with terrific lime and apple fruit and sweetness from the ripe fruit but not the RS which seems like 3-5 grams p/l. So juicy and invigorating. A brilliant wine. I love love Molitor so much. — 2 years ago
