2013 Château Les Trois ManoirsMédoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/3/2024 - sterben Likes this wine: NRRuby, some clearing at the rim. 2013 was a years with massive rain during the harvest in most of the left bank with diluted wines as a result. The 12,5% ABV is sort of a reminder of the good old days of bordeaux. |

2008 Château Gazin PomerolRed Bordeaux Blend more |
1/1/2024 - sterben Likes this wine: NRConsumed over two days, needs time to open up, best on day 2 (double decant). Big nose, plum, spice box, chocolate. High acidity, a bit grainy tannins, plum and some dark fruit, some tertiary notes with forest floor, good medium length without any gaps. Great, wish they still retailed for the 2008 price. |

2008 Château MontroseSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/1/2024 - sterben Likes this wine: NRGood fill. Decanted 5 hours before first tasting, reintroduced to bottle at the end of the evening and tried the following day. Cassis, some forest floor, great length, high acidity, good structure with permissible tannins, very good, better day 2. Decant if consumed today, many years left alive. |

2004 Château MontroseSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/7/2023 - sterben Likes this wine: NRGreat cork and fill. Upon opening mainly some beginning tertiary notes with light forest floor, not too much fruit. Opens up with air and when tried on day 2 much more open and some cassis/plum. Medium length, still rather tannic. As of now needs decanting. |

1981 Château Patache d'Aux MédocRed Bordeaux Blend more |
12/17/2021 - sterben Does not like this wine: NRGot two patache d'Aux as "bonuses" when buying a grand puy ducasse 82. from the 81 vintage that started out great (maybe a cold July, but hot August/september) but was offset by heavy rain at harvest time. Diluted fruit, low alcohol levels and many producers had to chapitalize. |
