La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

One of the better 2nd’s I’ve had. Slightly fruit forward in a drink now style. Soft tannins and good acidity for that easy drinking brightness. — 19 days ago

Clos des Papes

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2022

RWOTN. Approachable now and quite delicious. Rich kirsch and and raspberry fruit, some wafty garrigue earthy notes. Rich and silky on entry, so delicious, but at the finish a bit of alcohol (15.5%) pooks though. — a month ago

@Doug Powers - Yep. Unfortunately 15-16 is the new normal for CDP these days. I bought this only because my dad has always loved CDP and I wanted him to try a Clos des Papes. I was amazed I liked it so much since I’m a bit dogmatic about alc levels.

Grenache. But they pick too late. They haven't recovered from the Parker era

Bosquet des Papes

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2019

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing red and black fruits with wood, chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth and spices.

Long finish with round tannins and cooked cherries.

This is a delicious Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich and extracted. Powerful and interesting. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and entertaining.

Already showing beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 75% Grenache, 12% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and a touch of Vaccarèse, Counoise and Cinsault. Aged in large French oak barrels for 16 months.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$50.

Beautiful, quintessential nose! Silky and balanced from start to finish. Not trying to be too bold but it doesn’t disappear either. Truly enjoyable Bordeaux and I would absolutely buy it again — 3 months ago
