  • Fantastic bottle of wine regardless of the vintage. Take advantage of the discount and load up as this one is just getting started.

    12 Hour slow decant with cork pulled and replaced.

  • Decanted over 5 hours, plus saved an extra glass for the next day. First day was fruit and oak, but was ever evolving no single sip was the same, fruit was slightly brambly, bit of chocolate and vanilla, tannic and low acid with a long finish, still had a very nice mouthfeel. Felt like this was much more fruit forward on day 2, no vanilla or chocolate with more red fruited strawberry and cassis, was very nice, preferred it on day 2, will sit on my remaining bottles at least another 5 years. This was my first time having the grand vin and it did not disappoint as it was very nice, one of those special wines that really evolves a lot as you drink it and is hard to describe.

  • Decanted for 3 hours. Gorgeous. It was a few days ago so I wont right much, however was easy to pick up a high quality producer from Pomerol from the line up (Blind). Still needs time though.

  • A really amazing bottle that performed well from the pop. I decanted for about 3 hours before pouring this at a broad 2014 tasting (but no other bordeaux, oddly).

    Violet florals, blue and purple fruits, medium plus weight on the palate. This is both expressive and classic/sturdy at the same time. Beautiful depth with a velvety texture and some savory underpinning, maybe a hint of pyrazine that had folks clued in to Pomerol. I was really impressed with it.

  • Took a little while blind but eventually was able to nail it (only good call of the day). This is so refined and elegant, seamless from start to finish. Shows it's cab franc influence well, with savory tobacco notes and a little herbal flair mixed in. Palate again is seamless, elegant, with a cashmere texture. Hard not to love. Drinking very well for a young bdx.
