good fruit weight, coupled with a litheness that belies its youth. There is upside. Looking forward to my next bottle in a few years' time. Drink from 2020.
has a light, slightly tinny bouquet with bright red cherries and a touch of blueberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin, pretty and rather earthy red berry fruit with a tart, peppery finish. This is easy-drinking but well made Saint Julien to enjoy over four or five years.
A wine with strong traits, a deep ruby color, red fruit (kirsch) aromas and a minerality that borders on perfection. Mouthfeel gradually shows notes of spice.
More roundness and flesh than Côte-Rôtie, with a texture of fatty and melting tannins, the solar side of the Hermitage hillside is perfectly highlighted here.
The 2015 Lacoste-Borie is a pretty, juicy wine with good balance and enough depth to drink well for another few years at least, while the red cherry and plum fruit remains vibrant. This is an attractive second wine from Grand-Puy-Lacoste.
Château La Tour de Mons is a classic wine, elegant and pure and fully respectful of this great terroir of Margaux. Nice nose well defined. The wine is elegant, of good length, charming. It will evolve well as usual.
Rich and perfectly ripe aromas of black fruits, violets, spices… Dense, concentrated mouth, at the same time unctuous, delicious and fresh. A village worthy of a premier cru
Strong characteristic of great terroirs of Pauillac. The texture of the tannins, smooth and silky, shows a beautiful harmony between power, elegance and subtlety. Excellent Pauillac!
A modern style Vosne-Romanee and the least I like from a VR tasting. Sweet strawberry and candy notes driven with subtle blackberry and mint leaf aromas. It is a fruit-driven VR; and needs more depth to take it to the next level. It started to become tart after an hour
