Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Smoky nose exhibiting a graphite streak; stewed, baked, and braised meats with cranberry, plum, black currant and black olive, cedar plank and tobacco eyelid that flutters between oak and violet. Graphite and iron lead the Connecticut shade entry, clove and pepper pop into view, dried rose petal and violet, tulip; firm tannins, super structured and complex!

Château Branaire (Duluc-Ducru)

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Sweet tobacco notes interspersed with woodsy mushrooms, warm rye bread with toasted sesame and grill notes. Cherry and baked currant tart. Silky soft cherry open reveals exquisitely suspended smoke framing black cherry and cedar dusted black currant and dried blackberry with sage and nutmeg.
