Selection Vieilles Vignes Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

I don’t drink much Bordeaux, not sure why. Maybe the choices are a bit overwhelming for me 🤷‍♀️ this one is medium bodied, has smooth tannins, not much fruit. — 3 years ago

@Sharon B same..my first Bordeaux ( many years ago) tasted like Band-Aids gone really bad. I do have a Lynch Bages 2016 in waiting. BUT most people do not touch this wine for 20 yrs +. Not sure how well I will enjoy that at age 75!! As I contemplate my wine purchases over time...!

El Principal (Valette Fontaine)

Memorias Red Blend 2015

Vino color rubí con cuerpo denso y clarificado. Notas de amaderadas, frutos rojos, zarzamora, vainilla, canela. Vino muy bien balanceado, con astringencia y acidez media.
Este vino tiene una alta retención y sin duda cada sorbo invita al siguiente.

Recomendable al 100.

Vieilles Vignes Pouilly-Vinzelles Chardonnay 2013

Мокрая шерсть, солома, битый камень, крепкие желтые яблоки, консервированный ананас, бледная курага, семечки, каперсы, заветренный мёд, сухотравье. Среднее тело с хорошо сбалансированной кислотностью. Вначале чуть закрыто и плоско, но подышав открывает красивую фруктово-минеральную фактуру с заметной глубиной. Естественно и органично. В аромате больше смахивает на шенен, чем на шардоне. — 7 years ago

Sherry, saffron, camomile, roasted peanuts and a bit of wet stones on the nose. As @Kit H said it before. Its all about the texture. Sea salt, tension, acid, balance, long finish. Lovely wine. Give it some air to really open up. — 9 years ago

Irancy Pinot Noir

Wonderful, beautiful Pinot from the Chablis region. Drinks like a cooler region Pinot - fruity, light-med body, smooth, low-med tannins, nice acid. Could age a bit longer still. — 4 years ago

Four day weekend. Gotta get it off to a good start. Been awhile since we had our 375ml of Ruinart.

The nose shows, ripe, slightly candied; black cherries, strawberries, kirsch cherries, rich, summertime watermelon, touch of orange citrus family blend, pomegranate juice, hints of fruit roll up & haunting apricots. Sea fossils & spray, a little bread dough, grey volcanics, chalky powder, orange, spring flowers with fresh & withering, red & pink rose pedals.

The palate is full & touch gummy/candied. Fruits are well extracted, deep, ruby; black cherries, blackberries, strawberries, kirsch cherries, rich, summertime watermelon, touch of orange citrus family blend, pomegranate juice, hints of fruit roll up & haunting apricots. Ghostly, not quite fruit brandy or fruit liqueur character, sea fossils & spray, a little bread dough, not quite medium, white spice with hints of palate heat, grainy, grey volcanics, chalky powder, orange, spring flowers with fresh & withering, red & pink rose pedals. The acidity lively and crisp. The round, well balanced & polish finish is always consistently satisfying and lingers for minutes.

Photos of; the House of Ruinart, Dom Thierry Ruinart, nicely light caves and rolling, hillside, Grand Cru Vineyard.

Not quite sure where “D” gets $83 when you can buy this all day at just under $65.

Vieilles Vignes Mâcon-Chaintré Chardonnay 2011

Quality drinking. Not sure the price but if it's less then $40 this is a massivr bargain. Mineral - soft lemon citrus notes. Balanced acidity - long lingering finish. Refreshing and very good. Cellar potential up to 10 years max. — 10 years ago
