2016 Château Haut-Brisson

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more

4/2/2024 - Nomadirish Likes this wine: 88 points

PNP dark garnet color with slight musty nose.
Very drinkable - my only issue is the longer the glass stood out, the shorter the finish (and a bit watery and some heat). However I still think it’s fine with food pairing. Have another and will wait to compare.

I was pleasantly surprised by this wine but suggest drinking at one sitting as it didn’t get better over the 3 days I drank.

Let air for 15min. Little too much heat on the throat but nice wine; needs to be paired with a steak as drinking it solo didn’t sit well.

2007 Opus One

Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more

11/23/2023 - Nomadirish Likes this wine: 94 points

Brought to Thanksgiving hoping to have with our meal. First opening taste - astringent, tight. 90min later - softened but a bit sour. 200min later - perfect. Would have wasted if rushed. A fantastic Bordeaux style wine and enjoyed considerably though as an after dinner drink.

I was hoping for more out of this one but it was relatively pedestrian. Let decant 30min but didn’t get better over our meal. Have another so will compare.

I’m not a Pinot person but this is to my liking. Paired with Thanksgiving turkey and was a winner at our table.

Earthy and slightly tart - very light on the mouth and a pinch of heat. Very nice wine; after an hour started to soften.

Feels past it’s prime but drinking okay. Drank over two days. Licorice / cherry notes but a bit of heat in the back of the throat.

Maybe something wrong with my bottle given other comments but this one lost its structure - drinkable but zero body.

Ate with a prime beef tenderloin. Let’s decant for an hour. Thought was good at first but over time, it seemed to lose its finish. Last bottle so perhaps time to drink if you have.

This is drinking great right now.
Decanted for 30min. Dark, opaque color concerned me at first but the dark fruit flavor and unctuous mouth made this a delight. Have one more bottle.
