2008 Château Beau-Séjour BécotSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/30/2023 - mr_rancho Likes this wine: 90 pointsVery good wine. PnP. Tastes still very young with strong fruit but no secondary/tertiary aromas yet. Was a pleasure to drink but will easily develop over another 10 years. |

1994 Château Prieuré-LichineMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/6/2023 - mr_rancho Likes this wine: 90 pointsFeels still young like a 05 or 07. Lots of fruit, cherry, and red fruits. Almost no tertiaries. Started to fade after some 30 minutes. We vacuumed the bottle after each glass, that was the right decision. |

4/6/2023 - mr_rancho Likes this wine: 92 pointsMarvellous! All very smooth and silky. A bit of fruit, but more on the tertiaries as coffee, cocoa, leather. Tannins fully resolved. |

2002 Château Le Prieuré (Joseph Janoueix) PomerolRed Bordeaux Blend more |
12/30/2022 - mr_rancho Likes this wine: 90 pointsVery good, lots of beautiful tertiary aromas, mainly truffle like. Very little fruit left. Smooth, silky. Can drink right after opening the bottle, not much development within two hours in the decanter - also no fading of the aromas. |

11/5/2022 - mr_rancho Likes this wine: 90 pointsFruit forward, cassis, plum, dark cherry. Starts to develop secondary aromas. Lush and very pleasant to drink. Two hours decanting are a must, better three. |

1997 Château Calon-SégurSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/5/2022 - mr_rancho Likes this wine: 92 pointsDon’t understand the low ratings here. This is a beautiful mature Bordeaux with all the marvellous tertiary aromas of leather, leaves, earth, cocoa etc. Little fruit left. Round and smooth. Good tannic backbone. We decanted for 2 hours and enjoyed for another 2 hours after a light dinner. |

2002 Château Durfort-VivensMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/29/2022 - mr_rancho Likes this wine: 90 pointsVery good wine but a bit disappointing for a second growth. Nice and elegant, with a good balance between fruit and earthy flavours. However, a bit diluted and thin. |

2006 Château Lagrange (St. Julien)Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/20/2022 - mr_rancho wrote: 91 pointsSimilar to my previous notes. This time we gave it a decant of 2 hours which was too long. Still smooth and elegant but lots of the fruit have disappeared. |
