2010 Château L'Eglise-Clinet
5/8/2024 - grapenomad wrote: 93 Points
Incredibly tight at first, so needed to wait about 3-4 hours to get a glimpse of what this offers. Deep ruby red in the glass. Unmistakably Right Bank on the nose, with the dark fruit dominating the whole profile. Some baking spices, vanilla, hazelnut and earthy tones in there as well. Palate is silky smooth, almost too smooth for a Bordeaux, but I love it. Ripe tannins, high acidity, balance in check. Long, sweet-fruited finish with a hint of graphite. Approachable now, but will deliver for the years to come.

2022 Clos du Tue-Boeuf Cheverny La Gravotte
5/7/2024 - grapenomad wrote: 87 Points
La Gravotte is 100% Pinot Noir that is hand-harvested at optimum ripeness with 10 days of carbonic maceration before spending 8 months in oak barrels. Super pale ruby in the glass. Strong VA on the nose and palate. Soft tannins, high acidity, moderate alcohol. Light-bodied, but the fruit doesn't seem to shine at this stage. Would be good to revisit in a few years, hopefully the VA blows off.

2023 Delinquente Nero d'Avola Roxanne the Razor

Pale ruby in the glass. Sweet-fruited on the nose and palate, very straightforward. Light-bodied, virtually no tannins, high acidity. Glou glou, balcony kinda vibe here. Nice.
