Dicht bij de zee. Grootste gevaar de zeewind. Daarom hangen de druiven laag. Wilde dieren. Maar verder weinig gevaren. Na ca 3-5yr op de markt. Neus: gedroogd steenfruit, perzik, honing, gestoofde groene appels, heel geparfumeerd. Opent zich langzaam in het glas. Zit veel in verborgen. Parfum van gele bloesem, maar ook rose wilde rozen. in de smaak meer citrus, limoen, citroen. Aan het eind veel mineraliteit, zout, hartig door lees ageing? M+ body, 12% alcohol, droog. Ter plekke geproefd. Proeverij met dochter ‘president’ — 4 months ago

Opened as a side by side with a 2010 Domaine de Chevalier. This Repris is 50 cab/20 merlot/ 20CF/ 10 Malbec (versus the cab heavy and petit Verdot blend of the DC).

Whereas the 2010 Chevalier has the roasted Bordeaux funk (which I enjoy), this trends more of the brambly/fig profile. Very much in the deep red and black fruit style, this is deeply colored in the glass with roasted plum, fig, cassis, and black-cherry mocha aromatics. The juicy-ness of the Malbec hits immediate on the palate with blackberries and licorice, followed by the weight of the CF/merlot/Cab. Ripe dark red and black fruits, plum, dark cocoa, kiss of green/herbs. Big structure (oak frames it, but isn’t obtrusive) and finish at this stage. Holding strong, but in a good window. Quick 30min decant and follow for a few hours. — 6 months ago

While not on the same level as the 2010 Left Bank I opened a few months ago, the profile of this 2011 Right Bank was squarely on the bridge between Sonoma and right bank Bordeaux.

About 60 merlot/ 40 CabFranc. 13.9ABV

Pours a slightly fading red-black. The entire time this was open, the aromatics sported a distinct funk that I’m struggling to describe…whatever comes before brett, that’s what this was. A mix of earth/forest, mineral, fig and a small hint of leather (I’ve come across a similar profile in older warm vintage right bank Bordeaux…but this is cooler vintage Sonoma). The palate is structured but in a nicely balanced phase…red and black fruits, more fig, and espresso at the finish.

Followed over the course of 4hrs from bottle, and while the last glass seemed to be a bit more integrated, I think these are in “drink now” phase. — 4 months ago
