Really nice. — 7 months ago
The various Count properties are very "forward" but always delicious. Good value and usually PNP if necessary.
@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego seems so:)
Château Olivier
Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé Red Bordeaux Blend
2019 vintage. Tasted alongside the 2019 Clos Marsalette, this is less flashy, but more refined. An elegant Olivier with impeccable balance and charm that sells for a song. Abv. 14,5%. — 4 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages
Echo de Lynch-Bages Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
52$ SAQ 2009 Very good but I should have put it in a carafe. It was not as complex as I would have expected but still good. Clos Marsalette remains a better deal. — 12 years ago

A little blocky and rough initially. Needed an hour or two to come together. Then the nose started showing elegant black cherry and cassis fruit, smoky gravel tones, and a little dry underbrush. It softened in the mouth too. The tannins are quite present and clingy, but receding under the waves of fruit and loads of rich clay-like earthiness. Decent acids, especially for an ‘18. This is nice now with a 90+ minute decant, and likely will improve even more over the next 5 years or so. — 14 days ago
