Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Baron de Pichon-Longueville Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

2000 vintage. Last tasted 9.25.23 (9.2) after 1.5 hours decanted. Popped and decanted this for lunch. Great fill and solid cork. Throwing a bit of sed but less than anticipated. Meh nose. Medium body initially. Started off on the rich side of the ledger but not plush. Had some smoothness afoot. Tasted after 45 mins open, 1.75 hours open and 8 hours open. First two were unspectacular. After lounging in the decanter 8 hours, wine had firmed up, thinned out, picked up plenty of secondary flavors and had that previously missing grip. If you're gonna open this during the holidays or anytime soon, do it very very early...otherwise, it'll be a total waste. Wine has miles to go. No rush to crush but just air it out in advance properly. 10.16.24. — 7 months ago

Château de Nages

Vieilles Vignes Costières-de-Nîmes Red Rhone Blend 2019

Been having too much blubbery white and pink wine from the South of France lately. A sub-$10 find from Total Wine with a big fat 13.5% ABV will certainly give some pause, given that context. And yet! This is really, really pleasant. From the lovely and very dry ancient town of Nîmes on the “other” side of the Southern Rhône. 85% Grenache balanced well with 15% Mourvèdre. Put it in yer next budget mixed case. — 5 years ago

Beaujolais-Villages Gamay 2018

This is a great light red and it goes with a variety of foods. I'd compare it to a pinot, really. Also very inexpensive. Maybe $11 at Total Wine? — 4 years ago
