Domaine Grand St Paul

Château Côte de Baleau

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

2022 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. Excellent richness and viability of frontal palate fruit along with consistency of experience throughout. Tannins throughout but they don't dominate the conversation like the blowhard at the high school reunion. No dropped coverage or passes. Phenomenal (relatively) cheap chicken BDX at $25.10 a bottle resto cost. Picked up a case but, if I had more storage room, woulda picked up 5 cases. If I ran a retail store, woulda picked up 10 cases and pushed it hard for someone curious about but had never had BDX. 10.8.25. — 6 days ago

Château Pipeau

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Deep Ruby red color with aromas of ripe fruits with floral perfume and sweet earthy tones, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. On the palate flavors of blackberry and plum fruits, with pepper spice notes. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral and earthy spice character. Good now, has short-term aging potential. — a month ago

Birth year tastings, evening 4.
Polished leather, nuts, ecoline, grilled red pepper, tomato leaf, gingerbread, pepper, salty savoriness, tannins still present, still youthful, lots of future. Muscular! Beautiful.

Paul Bara

Special Club Brut Grand Cru Champagne 2016

Sensational Champagne with pale gold color and deep autolytic flavors. Crisp ripe apple and lemon, chalky minerality, subtle raspberry, biscuit, brioche, Acacia, hawthorn, and hazelnut with an achingly long finish showing chalk, flint, honey and biscuit. A dazzling match with pan-seared scallops. — a month ago
