2018 Clos de l'OratoireSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/9/2022 - SirJ Likes this wine: 95 pointsCompletely hooked at Clos de L’Oratoire, had to try 2018 (1 of 6). Hard to get a better wine based on the price. The minerality is so good in form of summer wet stones, pencil, this in combination with the dark fruit, plums, black currants and even blackberries makes this wine absolutely fantastic. Decanted 2-3 hours, the tannins are wonderful, a finish that lasts for a long time. Right bank when it's at its best, buy if you get the chance 👌🍷🙏

7/9/2022 - Jeff Leve wrote: 97 pointsDeeply colored, initially you notice Cuban cigars, eucalyptus, coffee bean, flowers, blackberries, and cassis. On the palate, the wine is rich, plush, and polished with an opulence to the texture. The fruit is packed and stacked with wave after wave of mouth-coating fruits that paint every nook and cranny of your palate. There is fabulous sweetness, lift, and depth. There is no touch of heat. Even with all of this power, the wine is balanced. Completely effortless to drink, this is already sublime in your glass. But, give it a few more years in the cellar and it is only going to get better and better. An interesting point, 2015 marks the first vintage without a second wine, allowing you to experience the totality of what the entire 81-hectare vineyard produced. The wine blends 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, 13.5% ABV. Drink from 2025-2060.

5/17/2022 - Alexander Tronstad Likes this wine: 93 pointsI love this Chateau. And this wine in this vintage is by far my most drunk wine of the left bank classed growths. Just good easy drinking, yet has enough complexity and depth to satisfy the craving for some gravity and seriously made wine.. So be it that it may be lacking a bit on concentration as Konstantin Baum pointed out recently, but... at the price it is a big winner. It is a classed growth, and it tastes like a class growth, unmistakably.

9/11/2021 - AlphaMikeFoxtrot wrote: 89 pointsRed cherries, red raspberries, leather, tobacco, Mediterranean underbrush/garrigue. It's the latter note I like the best on this (I don't see it too often on Rosso di Montalcino). Medium body with great acid and pretty big tannins. Drink now; but will benefit from 2-3 more years. Good pairing with veal parm.

12/19/2021 - Delli Likes this wine: 92 pointsDrinking well. Purple body with a crimson edge. More opaque than I’d expect a 13% alcohol cab franc. Floral nose with blue fruit. The plate is red fruit it’s a cranberry finish. Modest acidity. Good structure. Mouthfeel suggests more than 13% alcohol. 5+13+16+8=92

1/15/2022 - Jonnytheneedle Likes this wine: 91 pointsWell Made! I just dont understand it. Find it soft but delicious. Not a typical franc by any means. How can it keep without tannins? Drinks great now, it has good structure, but will it develop?

9/19/2021 - Francophile Does not like this wine: 85 pointsI thought that being Cab Franc (which I love) and labelled as dry, I would love this. It is very pink, which often spoils a Rose for me, much preffering the barely pinks from Provence, however, what we both found very disappointing for us was how sweet it was. So sweet after one glass we drank no more. A disappointing buy.

10/7/2020 - Brun Teditor Likes this wine: 92 pointsAmazingly good for a NY state red, or for any Bordeaux blend from anywhere. Smooth, very balanced. Decanted for about an hour, which helps. Probably getting close to peak, and I'll guess has several more years at least at this level. Highly recommended.

1/29/2021 - fingers Likes this wine: 92 pointsSo exotic and feral, with loads of Cab Franc funkiness. Won’t be for everyone’s taste but it suits me in the right mood, which today was a rare stormy day in SoCal. Plenty of tannin and acidic structure to build upon with some more age. Fantastic bouquet.

2018 Philippe Alliet ChinonCabernet Franc more |
12/1/2020 - pjaines Likes this wine: NRNow this is a proper grown-ups wine. No gobs of ripe fruit or Sucklingesque "I'm 95 on this". Its not about in-your-face or look-at-me or check-out-my-label..... its about a touch of serenity and calm and quiet confidence. Its Loire Cab Franc without a doubt - it is infused with the typical Chinon high-toned, rocky, minerally kick on the back palate. The palate is where this cranks up a gear - it is Chinon but with manners and good breeding. It has spent time with nicer children. It is rounded, but not rich and the crunchy notes you'd normally get on the palate of a Chinon this age are smoothed out. A touch of menthol, olives and aniseed wraps things up very nicely.
