2/25/2024 - SlapTheBag wrote: NRThis wine really came alive when paired with food. Nose had iodine, black currant and maybe a little black pepper. Palate had a little tar and funk to it, and the tannins are still strong giving it a very long finish. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

Lots of marzipan, orange zest and a little chalky botrytis.On the second glass got some wild flowers. There is a waxy feel to the wine that really coats the mouth and gives it a long finish. This is drinking amazing and can clearly continue to age. |

2/25/2024 - SlapTheBag wrote: NRStarted drinking the wine after 5 hour decant. On the nose there was fresh herbs with red and black fruit, when paired with food the strawberries came out. Palate was still tannic and the wine clearly needs time, but drank great for being so young. |

2010 Château Malescot St. ExupéryMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/15/2023 - SlapTheBag Likes this wine: NRBig nose on the wine with hunny buns and blackcurrant. Gave the wine a 2 hour decant and the palate still felt a little muted, not sure if it needs more age or a longer decant. Even with the muted palate this was an excellent wine and would highly recommend. |

2015 Château de Saint Cosme GigondasRed Rhone Blend more |
5/7/2023 - SlapTheBag Likes this wine: NRNose had funk with mushrooms, garrigue with damp earth in the background to start. The second glass brought the fruit more to the forefront with lots of overripe cherries and a hint of tobacco. Palate is very ripe and full bodied with lots of fruit, and strong finish that showed off more of the garrigue and damp earth. |

4/10/2023 - SlapTheBag Likes this wine: NROn the nose the wine was balanced between red fruit and herbs with some damp earth in background. On the palate the wine was not sweet and had subtle tannins, but still managed to be big and bold. (I tend to prefer fruitier CDP's but this was still excellent). |
