Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Estate dates back to Crusades & Scottish navigator, George Smith, owner in the 18th century. Followed by M. Duffour-Dubergier, Mayor of Bordeaux, then Louis Eschenauer, a famous wine shipper. In 1990, Daniel & Florence Cathiard now own estate. Blend of 60% Cab Sauv & 40% Merlot, dark berry aromas, herbs and earthy spice. On the complex palate flavors of cherry and currant with pepper, tobacco and cacao notes. Soft ripe tannins, long finish ending with an earthy mineral character. — 11 days ago

Good Bordeaux, true to style. Earthworm nose. Tastes of dark berries and pine — herbaceous. A little lean. Would probably age nicely. 90. Given the swill I’ve been drinking lately — a treat. — a month ago

Medium yellow with a touch of yellow gold, wide watery rim . Beeswax, cut grass, peaches and cream, lemon rind , grapefruit and a touch of toastiness. On the palete quite intense with that grassy note, peach , confit lemon, good acidity and good length. Quite round but the richness is counted by the acidic backbone. Fresh and vibrant with balanced alcohol . This is drinking well now , but will continue at this level for the next 10 years or so. — 3 days ago

Шикарное вино: полный яркий нос, тело и мягкие танины, среднее послевкусие. ! не стоит переливать в аэратор / декантер - нос становится проще, уходят ягоды. Но вино отличное — a month ago

Pastille & pennies. It takes a true bad ass to make just one single wine vintage after vintage. Respect. — a month ago

Pop and pour. A beautiful dark ruby red color. On the nose: very aeromatic with dark fruit, herbaceous, some funky earth, leather and touch of mint. Taste: dark cherry, chocolate espresso, spice, tar, little bit of green veggie, and a medium dry finish with a slight still there tannic kick. — 2 months ago
