Château Haut-Bailly

Pessac-Léognan Grand Cru Classé Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Blackish purple robe, opulent nose of blackcurrant, tobacco, asian spices and a hint of violettes. Very elegant and somewhat tight tannins, medium bodied, long and complex. Drinking well now but oh has so much potential ! Great bottle of classic claret. — 2 years ago

Domaine des Huards (Michel Gendrier)

Envol Cheverny Pinot Noir et Gamay Blend 2018

Fluid cherry-ruby dress. Nose: red fruits, spices, vegetable. Smooth mouth, light, flexible body. Notes of Pinot Noir and Gamay well restored, assembled in harmony in an accessible and complex bouquet with many shades: cherry, cloves, pepper, strawberry, blackberry, rose, violets. Pretty vegetable notes, almost menthol, dry herbs, hay. Tertiary notes slightly smoked/vanilla, suggesting a possibility of Burgundian evolution. Very nice work at a correct price.

Robe cerise-rubis fluide. Nez fruits rouges, épices, végétal. Bouche lisse, corps léger, souple. Notes de Pinot Noir et Gamay bien restituées, assemblées avec harmonie au sein d’un bouquet accessibles et complexe aux nombreuses nuances: cerise, clou de girofle, poivre, fraise, mûre, rose, violettes. De jolies notes végétales, presque mentholées, herbes sèches, foin. Des notes tertiaires légèrement fumées/vanillées, laissant entrevoir une possibilité d’évolution à la bourguignonne. Très beau travail à prix correct.

l'Appel des Sereines Syrah 2019

Gourmet vintage, young vines in the making with the markers of Syrah that we like to find: violets, black fruits, pepper, light smoke. Soft, straight and balanced mouth.

Cuvée gourmande, à priori de jeunes vignes en devenir avec les marqueurs de la Syrah qu’on aime retrouver: violettes, fruits noirs, poivre, léger fumé. Bouche souple, droite et équilibrée.

Marchesi Mazzei

Siepi Castello di Fonterutoli Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2007

Couleur prononcée. Le nez semble avoir une touche Bordelaise et du Sangiovese aussi, croyant Cabernet Sauvignon, finalement 50% Merlot et 50% Sangiovese. Du fruit noir et bleu, graphite, mures, violettes. Une bouche riche, ample, belle texture satinée, ne fait pas son âge du tout, très bien. 91-92

Tasted blind, The nose has scents of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon I clled butmit was finally Merlot, 50-50 Sangio and Merlot. Nice wine with scents of black and blue fruit, violets and graphite. The palate is rich, dense, ripe, nice texture, seems younger then 14 years old, very good.
