Château Tour La Vérité

Marie-Laure Lurton

La Tour de Bessan Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

2022 vintage. Dark red, much deeper colour than usual for this estate. Marie-Laure Lurton seems to have gone for a bit more extraction in this exceptional vintage. More powerful than usual, with a fresh black fruit personality,embedded in a tight, ripe tannic structure. Serious length too. Decanting recommended,as it showed better the next day. Ab. 14%. — a day ago

Château La Tour Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

Dark rubi robe with bricky tears. Nose of secondary and tertiary notes, tobacco, asphalt, cedar, and a hint of dark berries. Medium bodied, a bit off in the finish, but really good bottle and we still have a couple more left :)

La Joie Sonoma County Red Blend 2013

2013 vintage. Decanted (throwing a small amount of sed) and tasted after 45 mins and 1.5 hours. Medium-heavy body. Nose had the requisite and desired "funk." Amongst my handful of all-time best Sonoma Cabs/BDX blends (unfortunately, all too short after 32 years of extensive sampling). Phenomenal punch and acceleration. Shredding with impunity. Occasionally, that eff you ca$hi$h pays off. 7.19.24. — 2 months ago

Domaine La Tour Vieille

Rimage Banyuls Grenache

Deep Ruby with aromas of dried fruits and sweet notes. On the palate flavors of dried apricot and blackberry, well balanced with lively acidity, full-bodied, good structured. Long finish, smooth tannins ending with cacao and rich sweet fruit tones. Very nice! — 2 months ago
