2016 vintage. Dark ruby with orange rim. This seems to be at its peak now. A complex nose with flowers, red and black fruits, and a hint of rosemary. A fresh and elegant Haut-Médoc with very good length that sells for a song (15 euro). Abv. 13,5%. — 4 days ago

Not called Baroness anymore this mid level HB 2025 vintage is exploding out of the glass. Took a minute to get my bearings instead of restraint and editing it’s a full out cabaret of a wine with lively melon gooseberries and passion fruit on an edgy substrate of salinity and limestone. Went incredibly well with prosciutto and honeydew. Once I adjusted I found it magnificent. — 3 months ago

2015 vintage. Fully mature with spices and a hint of truffle. The tannins have smoothened out, and there is good balance and length. — 4 months ago

Cherry and red/dark berry with a touch of leather and earthiness. Still prefer Willamette Pinots but this French Pinot was quite impressive. — 7 months ago

Better on days 2 and 3. A touch abrasive on day one. Best to decant. — 8 months ago

2023 vintage. Medium body. Plenty of tannic punch with dark-fruited counter-balance. $26.50 a bottle resto cost. Would have picked it up but have 6 cheap chicken BDX's I prefer more than this. Not too shabby for the ca$hi$h tho. 7.8.26. — a month ago

Last had this 10 months ago. I think it's on the decline since then. Grapefruit, melon, citrus. Lacking acidity, it's a bit flabby. That's not what I remember in the last bottle. Anyway, it's nice with some fresh caught walleye.

Atherton Wine Imports 2026 tasting at République, Los Angeles. 2019 vintage. Medium-medium heavy bod. First third (of the palate) better than the last third. Makes promises and only partially keeps them. The 2018 had total follow-through. 3.18.26. — 5 months ago

Deep Ruby red color with aromas of berry fruits, oak and herb spice, a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants with notes of cedar, herb, cacao and bell pepper. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, vanilla and earthy oak spice character. — 8 months ago

This Chavignol-based cuvée is very deep. Nose has just-ripe orchard fruit, with a fleeting tropical suggestion, an herbal/minty note, and a deep mineral stank, almost feral in nature. Deeply flavored too, it’s bone dry and full bodied, and while there’s an up-front bit of fruit, the huge minerality quickly takes charge. Medium acids. Another Chavignol geology seminar in a glass. — a year ago

A good inexpensive blend but unremarkable. At 10+ years old, cherry still present from the Cabernet, very smooth from the Merlot and Cab Franc but little complexity. June 2026. — 2 months ago

Jolie complexité sur un fruité juteux avec de très discrètes notes oxydatives, mineralité et rondeur. c'est efficace et juste — a year ago
