2013 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc
4/26/2024 - Philip67 Likes this wine: 94 Points
Wonderful rich mouthful of almonds, ripe yellow peach, candied lemon zest and tangerine. There are also quite pronounced vanilla and cedar notes here, long with the first butterscotch and caramel tertiary notes. Long and complex. Drink now unless you like the tertiary flavours.

2018 Domaine Bois de Boursan Châteauneuf-du-Pape
4/25/2024 - Philip67 Likes this wine: 94 Points
This is an unexpected Wow! Superb structure, delicious, and of course, a big full bodied mouthful of wonderful fruits of the forest, along with cedar, cake spices and a little saddle leather. There is plenty of acidity and tannin here to balance the gorgeous fruit. Long finish, with touches of complexity. Just starting to enter the drinking window. Drink now and for the next 20 years.

2005 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon

Quite tertiary, lots of woody leather but still with some good fruits of the forest fruit alongside. Blind I would say left bank Bordeaux, though it is ageing faster than a Bordeaux. If it were Bordeaux I would estimate an age of 25 years. This would have been full bodied but is now between full and medium as the fruit has begun to recede. There is enough structure here to give interest and further life. Long with complexity. Drink now, though this will last another decade.
