Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Impressive Pessac Leognan. Smooth tannins, slight smokey aromas, and smooth deep berry flavors. It’s a food wine, like with a nice fillet. — 4 months ago

Reserve Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2015

Love the perfume in the glass after you let it sit a bit. Very fruit forward but somewhat darker cherry than you would expect. Really love this Pinot! — 8 months ago

Château La Fleur Cailleau

Canon-Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

2019 vintage. Château La Fleur Cailleau, Canon-Fronsac. Bought in 1982 by Paul Barré (also Château La Garde, Fronsac) and managed these days by his son Gabriel and his wife Edith. Biodynamically farmed since 1990. Very impressive indeed, with an exemplary purity of fruit, ripe tannin and energetic acidity. Highly recommended. Abv. 14,5%. — 2 years ago

Château Jean-Pierre Gaussen

Longue Garde Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2010

Star of a two Bandol night, but this at age 14( minus a week or two). Deeper, plush, black violet & cassis nose; on palate tannins really nicely integrated, wild blackberries, more cassis & black currants. Crazy elegant and generous. Feels open. Distant notes of some kind of bark & forest floor. Older wild flowers.Eye opener, in sense of how far Bandol can go for me. — 10 months ago

Happy for Bandol-heads to emerge out of the shadows…this was a significant wine for me, very surprising- perhaps because my previous experiences were with Bandols that were still closed or too tight (Tempier, for example) @Tom Casagrande

Once had a Bandol that I thought was a bad buy. Though as nails. It openend up extremely beautiful. After twenty years. 🫣
