2017 Et Fille Pinot Noir Heredity
4/27/2024 - Condrieu82 Likes this wine: 90 Points
Garnet in the glass. Nose is expressive, with pepper, raspberries, strawberries compôte, vanilla. Medium acidity, fresh, red berries-loaded, secondary notes of forest floor, bell peppers; medium tannins, long finish with oak, white pepper, and raspberries.
Better than the first bottle I had two years ago - very Oregon-like which means not terribly elegant but mostly fruit-driven. A good wine, but nothing terribly exciting.

2010 Château Rauzan-Ségla

Dark ruby in the glass. Nose shows some alcohol but also lots of cassis and bramble, with a touch of aromatic wood. Medium+ acidity, then cassis, blueberries, cherries, some plums - fruit is very refined, expressive, and precise. Cocoa, some pencil shavings, grippy tannins even after 2 hours decant, and long, lingering, cherry-filled finish.
This is an intense, young, very enjoyable wine already. Still quite primary, but elements are integrating very well. Decant a couple of hours and you are good to go. Very Margaux in its refined elegance. 94 now, but likely 96+ in 5-6 years.

2017 Bodegas y Viñedos Valderiz Ribera del Duero

Mose is deep with black fruits and mulberries, lavender even. Medium acidity; deep, full-bodied and exploding with blueberries and bramble. Some forest floor notes, but also cocoa, white pepper, and a pleasantly oaky, long ending. Medium+ tannins. Still young, but so delicious already. Hold 2-3 years for even better results. Excellent!
