Impressive showing. Bursting with apples and pears. Still young...would love to try one of these after longer bottle aging. — 3 days ago

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2013

9.4

This was a very fun experiment. I bought this for 149€ due to the 2013 vintage being terrible. Would this be a waste of money or a bargin? It was a bargin. Classic high end Bordeaux nose with complexity and flavour. Lots of mint. Tailed off quite quickly but still so much to enjoy. The art of wine making should shine through on "off" years as all of the producers make excellent wines in a 09 or 10 vintage. Will definately buy more!

Great producers make great wines and often the most challenging vintages pull out their best

Very dark and brooding wine. Blackcurrants and wood all every expressive. Will continue to improve. Served out of a magnum and paired with venison wellington — 17 days ago

curious about the longevity of this famously warm vintage, seems like it's a winner

Jan de Weerd

Wow! 2003!

Andrew McIntyre

@ESF this felt like it had many more years in front of it. 2003 rarely disappoints and this was no exception

Check out the veilles vinges chardonnay of this producer.. If you can find it because of the hype...

Andrew McIntyre

@Jan A answer after a quick look is no! Sold out everywhere apart from Switzerland and there I pay too much import tax!!

Marqués de Murrieta

Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2011

Andrew McIntyre

9.6

Was expecting this to be good and didnt let us down. All about blackberries and leather...silky smooth. Goes on for minutes. Still felt like a baby with years and years in front of it. Will be interesting to see this again in 5-10 years. Served with Hachis Parmentier — 3 days ago

Château Smith Haut Lafitte

Pessac-Léognan Blanc White Bordeaux Blend 2020

9.5

Brilliant and complex wine. Personally i couldnt find any hint of sauvignon blanc on the nose and it reminds me more of a chardonnay. Great use of wood and acidity. Will improve in the coming years. Highly recommmend! Served with roasted cauliflower soup — 10 days ago

Weingut Keller

Bürgel Spätburgunder 2020

Andrew McIntyre

9.3

After drinking mainly Bordeaux and Rioja over the christmas period this was much lighter. Nose of cherries, raspberries, tar and orange peel. Palate was similar but needed more air to catch up. Elegant and balanced. Paired excellently with roast duck legs, orange sauce and roast potatoes. — a month ago
