Saint Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Intense. Crushed red fruit and violets and yippee plums. I thought the intensity might tone down a bit, but even after a few hours open still is a bit daunting to drink. Not bad, but it’s definitely an experience. I had it with some basic rotisserie chicken and I’m thinking something with more fat would’ve been more appropriate for a wine like this.  — 2 months ago

Domaines Fabre Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

A typical more regional Haut-Medoc, Bordeaux blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Youthful with some degree of complexity, fruit-forward of plenty of dark cherry and mulberry, a bit smoky, woody and erathy, with some persistent tannins. Rich and textured mouthfeel, mid-long finish with some astringency, well-balanced and taste better with food rather than by itself. It needs to be splashed decanted for 30-45 minutes to appreciate its potential. — 6 months ago
