Lovely easy drinking Chianti. Leather and chocolate. Silky tanins and great mouthfeel. Would go excellently with pasta or even pizza — 3 days ago

Out of a magnum this was still very fresh. Full bodied and intense which is something i have come to expect from Chapoutier. This lacked a bit of complexity that i have had in his other wines but still excellent! — 2 months ago

Had to give this a try after @Lyle Fass gave it such a good review and it didn't disappoint! Lovely intensity of fruit and was getting (a pleasant) burnt tire and tar note. This is not your typical german pinot by any stretch of the imagination...hits different. — 2 months ago

Oh wow nice one. Is this in Germany or USA?

I actually live about 2 hours north of them. Thanks for the brilliant recommendation!

Lyle Fass

@Andrew McIntyre lucky you. They told me the 18 is even better. Don’t miss it when released.

Another very pleasant surprise! Rose and leather on the nose with cherries and riper notes of plums and light raisins on the palatte. Would drink again! — 10 days ago

Two weeks without a decent red wine and now back with a banger. This wine is beautiful in its duplicity. On one side dark cherries, tar, plums and leather but then at the same time light with lovely acidity. A joy to drink! — a month ago

Dark yellow in the glass with ripe fruits and a bit of petrol on the nose. Palatte is beautifully balanced with gorgeous notes of honeydew and citrus. Very much enjoyed this wine! — 2 months ago

Château Pipeau

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Andrew McIntyre

9.2

This is all about cassis. The tannins aren't anywhere near integrated but the potential to move to 93 or 94 is there. A classic cellar defender with the potential for more.
Paired beautifully with lamb — 11 days ago

Château d'Armailhac

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

9.5

The nose and palate are simply unmistakably left bank Bordeaux! Went down so well and was constantly positively evolving in the glass. Could have drunk two bottles alone while contemplating life. — a month ago

9.2

I found this very difficult to rate. Seemed somewhat unbalanced. There were great aspects like dark and red fruits and a hint of pepper but then despite a light feeling very heavy intensity. It felt like everything i liked was there but for some reason i didn't like it...wierd — 2 months ago
