Solid Ground

Château Potensac

Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

Needed a solid hour to open, but a treat when it did. This is drinking beautifully now, lots of puckery bramble fruit, smooth leather, tobacco smoke, and green herbs with assertive but integrated tannins. Shared with my pops over pork and fennel seed sausages, roasted new turnips and garden greens. — 10 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

Classic vintage - a solid 2004 Bordeaux. Purity of fruit, fresh and complex. Elegant, I enjoyed the nose. Palate lacked the X- factor I was looking for. Secondary characters just showing, leather and tobacco. Tannins very subtle. 93 points — 10 years ago
