This was youthful, polished that needed some air to open & show red, black fruits, plum with notes of graphite, mocha, earth, sweet, savory spice & tobacco. — 2 months ago

I don’t quite follow the Garagiste story of this vintage, but glad to have it for $20. Feels like it’s on the down slope of life, but still lovely at 12y. + short ribs = yum. — 7 years ago

Clos Saint Georges L'Eglise Pomerol 2020, Bordeaux, France

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.

On the nose red cherries, plums, red currants, light oak, chocolates and spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light oak, chocolates, spices, coffee, licorice, light tobacco leaf, earth and herbs.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 5 year old Merlot blend from Pomerol feels very young and not showing its age at all. Fruit forward with nice complexity and good balance. Elegant with good structure.

Starting to drink nicely now, and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime, when the tannins show up and bring more structure. Spicy and entertaining.

Good by itself or with food.


A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$30. — a month ago

This Castillion Chateau was acquired by the late Denis Durantou of L'Eglise Clinet roughly 15 years ago. Just as promised it delivers excellent value. Damp earth, currants, plums, black truffle and some green notes. Very solid. Would buy again. 2019 is the last vintage Monsieur Darantou harvested. — a year ago
