L'Ove Malbec 2022. Typical Malbec violet aromas. Refined for a 100% Malbec,with fresh RSS and good length. Abv. 13%. — 3 hours ago

2022 vintage. I don't look at the cork when opening bottles, to not be biased. Smell immediately made me think of Diam, as did the dry unpleasant aftertaste. Sadly, it was indeed a Diam 5 cork. Too bad, as the wine has a good structure. — 4 days ago

2019 Le Hameau. 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Merlot. First vintage of this parcel selection in the commune of Cantenac, aged for 16 months in amphorae (2/3) and barriques. Le Hameau stands for finesse, whereas Le Plateau (in Soussans) delivers more power. — a month ago

2022 vintage. Hervé Alins is the 3rd generation of winemakers at this Côtes de Bourg estate. He has been in charge since 2014 and this 2022 Merlot, from a selected plot, and aged in egg-shaped vats represents tremendous value for money. Juicy, succulent fruit, with good concentration, soft tannin and very good length. Serve this blind to Bordeaux bashers. Abv. 13,5%. — 3 days ago

2019 vintage. I had very little experience with Durfort-Vivens before, but today's tasting was extraordinary. The grand vin 2019 is stunning, concentrated and elegant at the same time, with an incredible purity of fruit, and haute couture tannins, culminating in a very long finish. Well worth the money. — a month ago

2020 vintage. Light transparent colour. Quaffable, but not interesting. Even with only 12,5 %, the alcohol dominates the finish. — 4 days ago

2000 vintage. This might have been an imperfect bottle, a little over the hill, and outperformed by the surprising 1997. In the same tasting Villegeorge 1995 and 1986 ( from a half bottle) provided a lot of pleasure for lovers of older Bordeaux. Sadly,the 1961 Villegeorge was corked.
Great tasting with Marie-Laure Lurton. — a month ago
