Birthday bash in the heat

Tasted August 18, 2023 by boillatm with 76 views

Introduction

An okay line-up without any wow wine. Always difficult to make a good selection to be drunk when it's so hot.

Flight 1 (4 notes)

Red
2000 Chateau Musar Lebanon, Bekaa Valley
92 points
Opened 6 hours before drinking. Was surprised by how pristine the cork was.
Classical Musar drinking very well now. Next (and last bottle) in 10 years if I am still around

Red
2019 Paul Lato Syrah Cinematique Larner Vineyard USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Ynez Valley
89 points
Deep purple color. Very marked peppery notes. A certain hollowness in mid palate that prevents a higher score.
Red
2020 Domaine Ruedin Pinot Noir Les Haux Switzerland, Three Lakes, Neuchâtel
90 points
PnP. Bit of carbonic acid at first.
Drinking okay now but I didn't see much of a difference with Les Ratenets

Red
2010 Château Léoville Poyferré France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien
91 points
Drinking well now as noted by others. But I've had more flamboyant bottles from this château. Probably didn't give enough air (opened 30 minutes before drinking)
