Château Poujeaux

Moulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

I really enjoyed this wine. Gave it lots of air as 2019 is really too young and this improved it immensely. Typical Bordeaux nose with lots of fruit. Balanced and moreish without being overcomplicated. — a month ago

This is a producer bottling that over-delivers in good vintage with the appropriate aging.

Agree 100% with @David T - I had bottles of 1982 and 1986 that easily lasted 15+ years from vintage!!

Tablas Creek Vineyard

En Gobelet Red Rhone Blend 2021

The grapes are exclusively from head-trained (En Gobelet) dry-farmed blocks of the estate vineyard.
The ‘21 really showcases the freshness of the fruits with raspberry, strawberry, and blackberry scented with fresh herbs and light warm spices. Juicy and a bit crunchy palate. Very good concentration and purity. Lovely.

Hemel-en-Aarde Valley Pinotage

Finally found something we like more than Wairau River. Flavor is very simular, but Zynsy-pops-alot thinks it’s easier to drink. I agreed. — 19 days ago

Cayuse Vineyards

En Chamberlin Vineyard Syrah 2009

Smelled like raspberry jam in the decanter, but much more mineral-like in the glass. Fruit-forward, but not overly so like many Syrahs. — a month ago
