This is such a great wine. Quiet. Understated. Bookish. Have been looking for another case or two for the resto but just not in the gray market currently. Like a shark always moving and looking for it, the 1996 Pichon-Lalande and 2018 Larcis Ducasse.

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Still holding back after 3 hrs in the decanter. The wine’s concentration and tannic structure promise a wonderful future. At the age of 20, this still feels primary and even hibernating… 😳
I’ll let my remaining bottles sleep for 3-5 years.

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2002

Intoxicating nose. Tres Bordeaux, complex, high bore, intriguing. On the palate, this is youthful, red fruited, tart and fresh.
Drinking lovely at the moment. Still has some future.

Château de Pez

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Franc Blend 2023

2023 vintage. More Cabernet Sauvignon (61 %) compared to Tronquoy 2023 tasted alongside, with 38% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. More flowers ( it seems to me that somehow 2023 is the floral vintage), cassis, blackberries and a mineral touch (less pronounced compared to the Tronquoy). Elegant, ripe and juicy. — 10 days ago

Château Branaire (Duluc-Ducru)

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Ming L
9.3

Expressive nose of blackcurrant and dark cherry with hints of dried fruit nuances, along with cedar, graphite, and dried herbs. The palate is dense and layered, and becomes quite seamless after about 2 hours - nice balance of acidity, fruit concentration and tannic grip.

In the early stage of maturity. Long ascent awaits.

Château Lagrange

Les Fiefs de Lagrange St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three days. Consistent throughout. The 2016 pours a deep garnet/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of cassis, plum, purple flowers, graphite, and a combination of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. I think this is my first experience with the second wine of Chateau Lagrange. Went well with my burger. Plenty of life left in it. Drink now through 2036. — 16 days ago
