Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1975

Still pretty alive, albeit more into tertiary notes with some fruit still evident, at 47 years old. — 3 months ago

Centgrafenberg Spätburgunder 2004

Lovely German Pinot Noir. Almost 20 years old but still bright and fresh. Some tertiary aromas kn the nose, cola and sour cherry on the palate. Finesse. — 2 years ago

New vintage for me. This estate Cab always delivers, even on what some may call off vintages. — 6 months ago

9.6

Nose is chlorophyll, mineral and sweet green. So evocative. Sea air. So layered. Some smoke. So elegant. White flowers. So pretty. Palate is so crystalline. Unreal purity. Elegant and finesse driven. Faint peach fruit and incredible acidity and depth. It glides on the palate. Really juicy. Long. Just another wonderful 21. — 2 years ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2009

Better than the 2008 we had a couple of weeks ago... may be the atmosphere at a Basque restaurant in Bilbao made the change.
Brilliant color not showing the age, delicate fragrance. Mild palate. All very delicate

Bürgstadter Spätburgunder 2015

Bra, ren och elegant Pinot. Tydligt tysk stil, jordgubbar och smultron, viss kryddighet och bra syra. Saknar lite komplexitet för att lyfta, men ett gott vin är det. Tveksamt om det är värt pengen. Finns bättre tyska Pinoter för mindre pengar. — 7 months ago

Centgrafenberg Großes Gewächs Spätburgunder 2021

Closed, cool, with muted power. Dark berry & cherry. Quite a tannic frame but juicy & polished, not aggressive as Becker’s Kammerberg.
Nice flow & great depth. Juicy acidity. A beautiful Pinot with more power, very classic Fürst style.

Château Calon-Ségur

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend

Had two bottles on Thursday, August 5th. The party had a different dishes including lamb chops, ribeye steak and one had soft shell crabs. Solid wine with some remaining fruit (but in 3-5 years the fruit may have passed), and good amounts of tobacco, cedar and leather. The first bottle was a little green bell pepper, as you would expect with some under ripe cab franc. The second bottle was better integrated, but had fewer fans at the table. — 4 years ago
