1998 Château Haut-BrionPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/25/2023 - VinhoVerde Likes this wine: 95 pointsMedium dark red color. Black currant, spice, and chocolate aromatics. Very rich fruit on the palate, it still has a little tannin in the finish. I think it will continue to evolve at least another 3-4 more years. A surprisingly strong showing for a 1998 vintage. |

2005 Château Malescot St. ExupéryMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/5/2021 - VinhoVerde Likes this wine: 94 pointsMedium red/purple color. Intense berries, smoke bouquet. Rich, ripe fruit extract. Tannins are relatively tame, particularly in the context of this ‘05 Bordeaux tasting. There’s just so much fruit here to counterbalance. Long finish. This needs an additional 3-5 years of age.

2003 Les Forts de LatourPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/25/2020 - Francophile1 Likes this wine: 93 pointsI wasn't sure which vintage of Les Forts to open tonight, but I decided to go with 2003 because I felt it could stand up to the 14oz. A5 Wagyu strip steak that I seared. The sweetness and almost melt in your mouth creaminess of the meat paired with a fully mature Bordeaux from one of the best wine producers in the world was magical. This wine is open for business and at its peak right now. Decanted for 90 minutes and it was good to go! While not as grand as the Grand Vin, it still has the Latour nobility in the glass.
