7/16/2022 - danibus Likes this wine: 91 pointsStill going strong, plenty of life left. A little less fragrant, complex, than the last bottle, but still excellent. |

2006 Château CantemerleHaut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
6/27/2022 - danibus Likes this wine: 92 pointsClassic old-school claret. Cherries, earth, tobacco. Nice acidity. Began quite austere but opened up in the glass. Plenty of people will find this too dry, but it is just my style. |

2/19/2022 - danibus Likes this wine: 90 pointsSilky and tasty. That ‘09 fruit really stands out. Juicy dark cherries and loamy earth and coffee. Prime drinking spot. |

2009 Château Haut-SurgetLalande de Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/5/2022 - danibus Likes this wine: 88 pointsGood solid classic claret. Nicely balanced. Dry in a good way and enough fruit and structure to hold and wait for more secondary characteristics. |

2004 Château Léoville BartonSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/15/2022 - danibus Likes this wine: 92 pointsIn a great place. Dark cherry, mint/menthol, lead, currant. Smooth but still with a tannic backbone and good acidity that should keep it drinking well for a while. |

2005 Château Haut-BaillyPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/6/2021 - danibus Likes this wine: 93 pointsWonderful purity of high toned fruit. Fine grained tannins. Pretty, delicious cherries and stone. All that fruit masks excellent structure, with the tertiary/secondary notes likely to emerge years later. Great now but probably even greater with patience. 93+ |

8/14/2021 - danibus Likes this wine: 92 pointsBig dark fruit, tobacco, a little menthol. Excellent with steak, though I prefer many classic, cheaper Medocs to this right bank blockbuster. |

2005 Clos l'Église (Pomerol)Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/31/2021 - danibus Likes this wine: 92 pointsDeep and rich but lacked nuance and complexity. Smooth dark fruit and coffee. I suspect it will develop nicely with another 5-10 years. Hold. 92+ |

7/5/2021 - danibus Likes this wine: 93 pointsBig dark fruit. Silky and rich, with violet and currant. On the modern side, a bit too much oak for me. Excellent nonetheless. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |
