Triumvirate

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1983

1983 vintage. Had the requisite BDX "funk" in the nose upon opening. Coming hard with the Pompey/Crassus/Caesar triumvirate of cherry, cedar and earth in both the nose and flavor profile. Light-medium body. Decanted (mega-sed!) and tasted over the course of two hours. Not improving but slotted into this groove a few years ago and can see it performing these same dance moves for another 7-10 years. 7.22.23. — a year ago

Looks like the other members of the Tucson wine triumvirate have been missing my presence here on Delectable so I figured I’d give them some Sunday content. Very Chambolle-esque and pretty. Ethereal w/ punchy sour red cherry with wet forest floor. Great stuff. — 3 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

32 years and going strong. Chanterelle and porcini with earth notes and crushed cherries and baked plum. Palate of dried blackberries and alluvial strolls, black currant and smoke. Cedar-cinnamon-tobacco triumvirate. Gloriously strong and hearty.

Triumvirate Pedregal Vineyard Meritage 2011

It’s funny. Paring is important. This is great with a peppery tri-tip and makes it a 9.0. Not great with pasta or anything without peppery taste. Also the storage or the way it was bottled could have something to do with it as well. Completely different compared to the same vintage almost 6 months ago. — 6 years ago

Château Climens

Barsac 1er Cru Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1986

Delectable Wine
9.7

The 1986 Climens has a lucid golden colour. It demands coaxing from the glass, notes of Seville orange, marmalade, quince and lanolin. The palate is where it's all happening with a power that bowls you over. This 1986 has wonderful balance and poise, building towards a taut Clementine and apricot finish. Perhaps this is overshadowed by the end of the decade triumvirate, but it should not be ignored. From an ex-château bottle. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2022)

Effortlessly gorgeous. Persian California never tasted better than in Japan. Talk about a tri-state area.....the world has just become molecularly small. Wine = cosmology = triumvirate = god. Fuck Steve Harvey — 6 years ago
