Day One: Very plump /Very ripe …easy drinking Maconaise pinot noir. It serves its purpose. Day Two: Twenty-four hours of aeration have pushed a 7.9 to an 8.0. Well done! — a month ago
A delicious wine/food pairing—pasta with fish sauce. (Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy. S2 E8-Liguria.) — 2 months ago
Given its Léoville-Poyferre connection I was hoping for something a tad more interesting. That said, I could easily be tempted to place a few in the cellar and see where we are in two to three years. (At a $35 close out sale this second label to Chateau Moulin Riche is worth the punt.) — 6 days ago
Why I don’t more often drink Nero D’ Avola always escapes me. I’ll have to change that. (Gulfi is my favorite producer.) Paired nicely with Spaghetti alla Nerano. — a month ago
Always fun to be introduced to a new varietal…at least to me. Just OK. — a month ago
Outstanding! Dark fruit(s)…Black Tea…Smoked Meats…Charcoal…And?…way too young to really tell. But, one thing is for sure..a definite cellar addition. — 2 months ago
Everything in sync. Juicy-fruity with whispers of smokey spice and fruit. Pop and pour is the joy of this Malbec…along with any grilled meats that tickles your fancy. Not for the cellar but definitely a contender for LA’s 2024 BBQ red. — 9 days ago
Probably won’t try again but it’s still a lot of fun. (Paired it up with chicken feta meatballs and Israeli couscous.) — 18 days ago
Way too rich for its own good. I’ll come back tomorrow and see where we land. (OK…near twenty-four hours in. Still too chocolatey with an added thimble of black ink. Or, is that cassis? No matter. Just not doing it for me.) I hear the latest vintages have been quite successful. 😃 — a month ago

Yes…I know..a tad too early. But any chateau that has a lighthouse (built 1611 AD) in the middle of its vineyards deserves a look. And I’m so glad I did. Classic Bordeaux profile made up of 60% Cab, 35% Merlot, and 5% Petit V. With a QPR of $18 this Mèdoc is simply crushing it. Cellar worthy? Absolutely! 😎 — 4 days ago
