  • 2016 Château Grand-Puy Ducasse 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

    Creamy red and dark berries in the bouquet. Lactic and youthful, very juicy fresh acidity. Some herbs and spiciness. With 3 – 5+ years of additional cellaring the wine will probably show more finesse.

  • 2009 Clos Fourtet 95 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

    The bouquet is slightly rustic with some barnyard and creamy dark berries. Same on the palate, lovely juicy acidity, chocolate, soft tannin and a pleasant touch of sweetness. Improved with more air. Was much more elegant the second day. This will be a lovely wine from now until 2030 at least.

  • 2019 Château Nenin Flawed

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    IMHO the wine was not 100% fresh. Slightly corked? No score.

    Very clean bouquet with cherries, creamy red and dark berries. On the palate juicy and expressive, full bodied, a firm amount of fresh acidity, sweet spices, a pleasant touch of sweetness, full bodied and refined. Very youthful and possibly the best wine of the afternoon. Waite at least another 5 years. 94 - 95+
