Assez confit comme fruits, prunes et figues, assez souple avec une acidité basse. Simple et dénué de matière. Pas long et mince, bref, trop cher pour ce qu j'avais dans le verre.

This wine is drinking fantastically now and is a big surprise. A special bottling from Chateau Larose Trintaudon, this has it all. Beautiful perfume, tender mouth texture and just the right acidity for meal matching. It’s not cheap but it is a testament to the huge holdings of this estate and what they can do with careful selection and aging in 100% new wood. You won’t be disappointed.

Plum Market Spring Wine Extravaganza (Chicago, IL): Very cool expression of a Bordeaux blend. A touch of graphite and lead pencil, with a leathery note and some black fruit. Classically styled and quite nice.

Somm recommended, good value. Dark plum color, opaque, mostly cab with some merlot. Agree with others, slightly tart/acidic upon pnp but this fades with Air and gives way to juicy goodness. Not overly complex, enough tannin to develop for another 5 years but prime drinking now with a decant.

Bordeaux Confidential USA, nose of plum, currants, and cigar box, more of the same on the palate, medium body, subdued fruit, touch simple, in a dumb state ?, rinsed my glass and moved on.

Bordeaux Confidential SF (SF): 60% cab Vibrant bright ruby in the glass. Something off - overripe plummy fruit. More elevated acidity. Wood shows through the palate. It’s nicer than the ’12 Larose Trintaudon, but not really that great. Score: Around 8.

Nowhere near as enjoyable as the 2010, but a rather pedestrian Bordeaux. Not sure if more time will help, but maybe.

Plum Market Luxury Tasting (Bad Hunter - Chicago IL): Walk around tasting, brief note. Very balanced and enjoyable, even if simple. Good to enjoy now.

Cru Burgeois Bordeaux (Ripple - Washington, DC): Nice tart kick to the grippy structure. Juicy red and black currants and earth. Interesting in its accessibility despite some density.
