2005 Château MontroseSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/27/2024 - chatters wrote: NRChateau Montrose Tasting (Bentley Bar & Restaurant, Sydney): Polished, rich and generous nose shows good quality oak, sweet spice, bacon fat, blackcurrant, plums a little violet, smells younger than the 2011, touch of clay. Juicy and generous here on the palate as well, a little savoury, almost salted liquorice notes joins the black hued fruits, tannins are woody, talc textured and super persistent, a little sous bois joins on the finish with the liquorice slightly more pronounced. Pretty clever |

2015 Château AngélusSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/20/2024 - chatters wrote: NRChateau Angelus at Ivy (Ivy Bottle Shop, Sydney): And the step up from the Carillon is equally pronounced. Bold, rich, dense, plenty of polished oak lens sweet spice, plain chocolate, a little caramel, lush and plush black plums backed by a smidge raspberry, a touch of fresh herbs lens an almost tobacco leaf note, toast and, again, a little soy sauce. Juicy, fleshy, dense, broad, alcohol warmth is present but controlled, plums are slightly dominated by the oak, creamy, time required though this is balanced. A little freshening red berry; raspberry and strawberry on the finish is pleasant. Powerful. Nice.

2009 Château BatailleyPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/29/2024 - belfast taxman wrote: 91 pointsTwo bottles with Good Friday lamb - a lovely combination. Typically dark Pauillac and on the nose classic left bank graphite, cedar and a hint of cassis. On the palate drank well with the lamb but perhaps slightly light and short on the finish. I feel this is on its plateau and may have many years yet but will it improve? Certainly it needs food. Decanted for 30 minutes, a little sediment but nothing serious. For me it was open fairly quickly yet held up in the glass for several hours. Overall very enjoyable and once again proof of the strength of the vintage and the Chateau. |

This wine was tight but able to revisit this wine 3 hours later and it was so much better. Tobacco, cherry, earth, leather and minerals. Medium plus finish. A solid effort for sure. |

2017 Domaine Séguinot-Bordet Chablis 1er Cru FourchaumeChardonnay more |
3/11/2024 - djhammond Likes this wine: 92 pointsI have to reiterate my note from last year. A high street purchase 5 years ago at a modest price, I never really expected much from this. However, it has blossomed into an excellent Premier Cru Chablis, and now is drinking at its peak. Everything sits perfectly, |

1998 Château Léoville BartonSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/20/2024 - Zweder Likes this wine: 92 pointsMonthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow": Pauillac and St. Julien (By me @ the factory): In the bouquet dark berries, minerals and beautifully dosed oak. On the palate an elegant wine with fresh acidity, dark and red berries, beautiful oak and cedar, good acidity and tannin with still enough power for some more years. Beautiful and classical wine. |

In the mouth it's sour and volatile, metallic with sharp red fruits. FLAW

1/14/2024 - Purple Tooth wrote: 89 pointsFeels warm at best and hot at worse. Theres a lack of balance here, punctuated by charred wood and what seems to be a bit of dark, long hung Merlot dominance. Lost of charred vanilla makes it drink like a cheap St Emilion...I guess that makes it a compliment. Pass again....Others will like this more than me. My life is now too short to drink wines like this... |

2010 Domaine de ChevalierPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/29/2024 - JCGuthrie wrote: 93 pointsTasted double blind in the first of two pairings of red wines from anywhere. Initially placed it as Bordeaux, but second-guessed myself and said Napa. Regardless, this had great depth and balance, with darker red fruit and earth notes. Really tasty now, but still on the younger side. I understand it had been decanted about 4 hours.

2000 Château Durfort-VivensMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/10/2010 - rikipedia Likes this wine: 90 pointsWine Cellar - Bordeaux 2000 (Wine Cellar, Cape Town): (Tasted Blind): A medium to deep garnet colour, the aromas feature aniseed, tobacco, liquorice and black cherries. A wonderfully focused, supple wine that is rich in texture, delicious and lip-smacking good. Firm but yielding tannins and lively acidity add structure without overpowering and the flavours linger for a long finish. Closes with tobacco and cigar box, some carrion and cherry flesh.

4/26/2024 5:59:00 AM - on the night in question i preferred the 2011 to the 2019 and the 2005...it was drinking superbly for me.
Comparing the 2019 and the 2005 is very hard. The change in wine-making & viticultural approaches in the last 20 years are nigh on seismic when taking into account climate change as well. The 2005 is from the Parker years and, though I don't really consider Montrose a follower of that doctrine, all producers were impacted to some extent. Additionally the 2019 is a demonstration of how eminently approachable young Bordeaux is nowadays. Finally taking into account the, albeit slow, evolution of the 2005 versus the youthful impetuosity of the 2019 well, it's like having a faithful wolfhound and a young pup...on any given occasion they are both wonderful to have around...
Sorry, the short answer is, dunno...today maybe the 2019 but tomorrow I may have changed back to the 2005...In an ideal world a couple of bottles of each would do me just fine
cheers, chatters
