Les Hauts Du Mont

Château Mont-Redon

Réserve Côtes du Rhône Grenache Syrah 2022

Just gushing with smoky, roasted dark-herb-inflected, gushy berry fruit on the nose. Quite the rich nose. Intense on the palate as well. Big whack of savory, iodiney flavors competing with dark berry-skin fruit. It’s a bit tannic and bitterish on the finish, which makes it a little less-than-friendly by itself, but should pair nicely in a hour or so with my pasta with broccoli rabe and homemade salciccia. — 9 days ago

Château Smith Haut Lafitte

Les Hauts de Smith Pessac-Léognan White Bordeaux Blend 2024

Very peculiar spectrum of aromas. Freshly cutted pineapple and pear. White peach and grapefruit. Very nice and long finish.
A bit flex on the mid palate but lingering pleasant finish

Château Smith Haut Lafitte

Les Hauts de Smith Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of ripe red fruit, rose petals, dried red flowers and eucalyptus. Red and black cherry/raspberry and boysenberry fruit on the palate along with additional notes of chocolate, toffee, savory spices and mint. Well integrated oak on the long and slightly chewy finish. Rustic, well balanced and beautifully aged. Thanks for sharing this one, Ron B! — 11 days ago

@Tom Casagrande, I always LOVE when you resort to posting “petty” tasting notes, since otherwise I’m always intimidated by your massively detailed, and outstanding, tasting notes (which I prefer, but not trying to be “petty” here)!! 🤷🤷

That vinaigrette sounds like it would be quite the immunity-booster!
