Les Trois Syrah Blend 2014

Tom Casagrande
9.2

Double decanted to get rid of a fair amount of sediment. Deeply earthy nose with tiny pungent mountain berry fruit. Sharp roasted herbs too and beef jerky. On the palate, nicely intense flavors and zingy acidity, tannins there but resolving. Lengthy finish. 76% Syrah 24% Grenache Only 13.6% alcohol! From Sonoma County. Aging quite slowly and easily could be confused with a good Northern Rhone Syrah. Serving with braised lamb shanks. — 3 days ago

[En Magnum] Lovely, fresh, crisp, old school Bordeaux from the family who were the cellar masters of Chateau Palmer back during this time frame, 12% ABV, perfumed, violets, soft, plummy fruit, great acidity, longish finish, this wine is about subtlety, not power, excellent!! — 4 months ago

@Tom Casagrande, Claude Kolm (a lawyer/now retired(?) used to write/distribute “The Fine Wine Review” — he also still publishes on Substack, I believe he and his wife now (mostly?) live in Paris, and I think you can follow his excellent Paris reviews (free??). . . . Anyway, when I first subscribed to his wine newsletter back in the mid-1990s, he occasionally wrote about this producer, raving about the high quality/fine QPR of their wines, but OF COURSE the wines were only available in Europe, no U.S. importer. But, being the crazy dude I am (surprised?? 🤷), I found a shop selling the wines “in bond” in Edinburgh, Scotland!!?? (Yep) Then, I knew someone importing wines, in the early 2000s they used to be able to fill up a reefer with up to 5 cases of “samples”, which is how this wine got to me (there was also a shipment from Edinburgh, together with payment of taxes, to a producer in southern France, who added these samples to the reefer). Bottom line, I was able to bring in 5 cases, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998 and 1999, the 1994/1998/1999 were magnums, while 1995/1996 were fifths. Likely a once in a lifetime thing, but love these wines!!

@Doug Powers - Now THAT is determination! Seems like a large work project just to get it! What does “in bond” mean? Decanter uses that term all the time and it always puzzles me.
Doug Powers

Doug Powers

@Tom Casagrande, “en bond” or in bond simply means the wine BEFORE VAT and any other taxes are imposed. Technically, the shop cannot release any so purchased wines unless and until they collect these taxes. Makes total sense for futures.

Last had this 10 months ago. I think it's on the decline since then. Grapefruit, melon, citrus. Lacking acidity, it's a bit flabby. That's not what I remember in the last bottle. Anyway, it's nice with some fresh caught walleye.

Seems logical. Haven’t had this one unfortunately but 18s there were mostly too ripe and fleshy to age. But many were fun in their youth! Walleye! Think I’ve had that only once (had to give a presentation in Sturgeon Bay) a few years ago.

Les Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Jay Kline
9.3

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2024 “Les Monts Damés” pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with white flowers, grapefruit, star fruit, alfalfa, and cream cheese stuffed poblano pepper. There’s also this Double Bubble thing going on. Wild stuff. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. In a world of increasing ambiguity, I love that this is immediately identifiable as Sancerre. Drink now through 2034+. — 8 months ago

Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Boris Mathiszik
9.2

The 2015 BDX continue to amaze and this Fronsac fits the bill. No decanting necessary. Jumping out of the bottle with beautiful red fruit and cassis notes, silky, and nicely balanced and integrated tannins, at such a young age, I am amazed. Feels like drinking a Grand Cru from a slightly lesser vintage. Great value too. If I can find it, I’ll buy a case. Hopefully two. — 6 years ago
