2016 Clos du MarquisSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/25/2024 - PSanDiego Does not like this wine: NRWhat a disappointment. I am a great fan of the 2016 Potentsac, so I was hoping that this would be better. Alot of bitterness on the front end, and even after some time no improvement on the bitterness. Sad. Wife said she tasted lots of stems. She thought it was ok. Have 5 more bottles. |

2010 Edi Kante Carso Chardonnaymore |
11/26/2023 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: 91 pointsBought at the winery many years ago, and left in the cellar of an old Italian house. Brought back to the US a couple of months ago, and had it for Thanksgiving. Has some noticeable age on it, but still very good. Can't wait to go back and drink fresher/younger bottles. The bora charonnay are better as a rule. These wines are meant for fish. |

2018 Château Tour Saint-ChristopheSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/12/2023 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: NRWell, had to try a bottle with such high scores. But the cork was redish pink, (I prefer it black red) and the taste was flat. Nothing bad, maybe with more age better?? |

2019 Château Phélan SégurSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/13/2023 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: 95 pointsPaid $45. I usually avoid St Estephe wines, as I have found too them too harsh when young, which is when I drink BDX wines. No cellar (san diego) and limited funds. But all I can say is wow, my additude will change now. I will buy more. Jeff (my north star) and Neal (advising people that can drink the wine 15 years from now) are correct, a very nice wine. Note the chalk is mild now, if it grows my score will increase. Chalk (lip smacking) is what I am after. |

6/20/2023 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: 95 pointsNOTE, I LIKE HANSEL WINES. I BUY A LEAST A CASE OF ALYCE CHARDONNEY EACH YEAR (WHEN THEY LET ME). THIS IS HIS BEST. l LOVE IT. MY REDS ARE BORDEAUX AND MY WHITES ARE HANSEL. UNLESS I AM IN NORTHERN ITALY, THEN A DIFFERENT STORY. |

2017 Château ClinetPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/21/2023 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: NRWell, I waited almost 2 years for the next bottle, paid $95.99, however the Clinet is still too young. Not rated because this is a good wine however it needs more time than I can give it. |

2016 Château Troplong MondotSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/31/2023 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: 97 pointsPaid $140. Wow. This bottle reminds me of the second bottle, young and delicious. Took about a hour to show. Everything I like in a Bordeaux. Family was not interested in even having a sip. Bought more and planing to but more. |

2019 Walter Hansel Winery Chardonnay Cuvée AlyceRussian River Valley more |
1/29/2023 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis is not a weak-kneed chardonnay. I would love to taste it when it is fully matured. No luck on that. I buy it by the case. Today I am having my next to last bottle after two cases. I usually get many cases of his chardonnay each year. Most friends and wife find it too strong, so Italian pinot grigio for them, Hansel for me. |

2016 Château Lafon-RochetSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/15/2023 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: NRPaid $54.95. My two least favorite areas of BDX is St ESTEPHE and PESSAC LEOGNAN, one is too bitter and one is not enough. The rest try to hit the spot correctly. But I have not had a ST E in a long time, so why not? one bottle. The bottle was empty before the steak meal had ended. |

2019 Château Léoville PoyferréSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/2/2023 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: NRPaid $125. When I opened it, it tasted thin with some bitterness. Cork end was rosy not dark, so I placed the cork lightly back and waited a day. It gained some weight and improved somewhat. I do think it will be great in the future. Still have one bottle. I am always hoping to catch these before they close. The 2018 didn't have this problem. |

2019 Château PotensacMédoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/20/2022 - PSanDiego wrote: NRPAID $24.99. I AM A GREAT FAN OF POTENSAC, EVEN VISITED THE VINEYARD LONG AGO. NO TASTING ROOM JUST A SMALL CHAPEL. THE 2019 WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT, TOO WATERY. BUT SAME GREAT FLAVOR. CORK WAS PINK, NOT THE DARK RED OF OLDER WINES. HOPING JEFF-91 IS CORRECT AS I HAVE 5 MORE BOTTLES. AND WOULD BUY MORE IF IT THICKENS. I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED, BUT I DO NOT PLAN TO OPEN ANOTHER SOON. NO SCORE AS I ALWAY DRINK BEFORE ITS TIME. |

2018 Château Léoville BartonSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/23/2022 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: 96 pointsWell, I been drinking the three 2018 Leovilles. The Las Cases is good, but needs lots of time. The Poyferre is excellent now. So I was expecting the Barton to be so-so. But this is an excellent wine. Even the wife and son liked it. They also like the P. So it has caused a problem, do I buy more P or B? Note Potentsac is my everyday wine. Yes Bordeaux wines are the best! |

2016 Château d'ArmailhacPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
6/28/2022 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: 91 pointsPaid $75. Mellow with a bitter aftertaste. Wife liked it, I was so-so. Was expecting more. But I do know that drinking Rothschild's wine before their time is never that enjoyable. The very nice surprise always comes later. By then however; your dealing with the last bottle of the case. |

2015 Château Troplong MondotSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/23/2022 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: 99 pointsI liked this wine. I loved the 2016. But if you don't have the 2016, then the 2015 will do. Note the family did not share my enthusiasm because it was too young and high alcohol. Too young and too alcohol what's not to like??? 4 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2016 Château GiscoursMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/11/2022 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: 95 pointsPaid $79. One of the most refined and mellow Bordeaux I have had. Family liked it very much. Feel it would be a good wine to introduce a person to Bordeaux wines. |

2016 Château Péby FaugèresSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/3/2022 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: 97 pointsPaid maybe in the $160. Wow, I loved it. But I love my wines young. The bottle was empty before the steak was finished. My Son and Wife liked it but for the first time asked why I drink them so young when they would be so much better later in life. Why is a good question. Recommended. First time for Peby. |

2016 Château Larcis DucasseSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/27/2022 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: NRPaid $85. Well, the last bottle we had, I rated as a 96, this one will remain unrated. I liked it but the family didn't and did not believe that they had asked for more. But I did notice that this bottle had notes of aging, maybe bad handling in the past? |

2016 Château Troplong MondotSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/20/2022 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: 97 pointsPaid $145. Five months ago, I said it was nothing special. Now it is fantastic. The entire family loved it. Recommended. Unfortunately, it the last bottle. Its that the story with Bordeaux wines? |

2016 Château d'IssanMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/13/2022 - PSanDiego Likes this wine: 95 pointsPaid $89.99. I normally am not partial to D'Issan. I drink wines much too young, and drinking D'Issan young is not at its best. However, with 2016s, I obtain a bottle to check if the excellence of 2016 was across all vineyards. It is, the D'Issan was excellent for me. Now, my son and wife felt it was too soft on the back end. I have gotten them to love the Medocs, so it is a lot of fun to see the effect of an excellent Margaux on them. Recommended. |
