Pretty color on that D’Yquem

Château de Fieuzal

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Vintage 2014 | This Pessac Leognan delivers. Ten years old the colour is brownish. In smell lovely complexity: spices, liquorice, flint, warmth. Impressions of plums and tobacco. Surprising velvety taste, clearly a point! | paired with Cantonese beef and mango. — 9 days ago

Château Larrivet Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Dark & still very youthful, perfumed & elegant, full of energy, ripe dark fruit, with a beautiful fresh menthol-cedar wood note. Layers of Black currant & cassis with some lighter cherry and a touch of fresh raspberries. A hint of dark Ghana chocolate. Ripe & sweet yet savoury. Complex.
Surprisingly energetic on the palate, with a firm tannic frame yet the tannins are juicy, polished, velvety. This is filled with juicy ripe fruit and fresh acidity. Impeccably balanced and with great complexity & depth.
This is a beautiful wine that is just awakening, serious & profound yet so approachable. A spectacular bottle!

Château Smith Haut Lafitte

Le Petit Haut Lafitte Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

Would buy again. Beautiful deep color. Nose is vibrant dark fruits, plum, blueberry. Palate is earthy and less fruit forward than I would have thought given the nose. Long dry finish, with medium to high tannins. Balanced and great with fatty steak. — 8 days ago

1953 vintage needed decades but it’s a low-key 🔥 vintage. Same for Piemonte.
