Packed with juvenile energy, racy freshness and a lot of Austrian gewürz. Good intensity ending in a long mineral driven finish. Very nice and interesting to see this develop! Paired well with asparagus a la flamande. — 6 days ago

From magnum. Glass filling nose. Creamy mocha with still a good and fresh fruit profile. Finish a bit short. — 4 months ago

Nice - love magnums, especially for wines with modest origin. It creates surprises.

Mags also really slow down pace of ageing I think. This one felt fresher than one could expect from a ‘12 Lalande.

Nose of walking through a warm summer forest. Fresh sweet strawberries on the palate, delicate tannins structure and medium long finish. Nice! — a month ago

Beautiful glass filling nose with flowers and tar followed by dark bramble, smoke, leather and liquorice. Pretty chewy tannines and a long finish. Wine got very divergent notes and ratings on ct but I am liking this a lot. No blockbuster over extracted powerhouse but freshness and complexity. Very glad to have 5 more. — 3 months ago

My go to Bordeaux classic. Small black fruits, tobacco, cigar boxes and the ever present stubborn dusty bitter note. — 4 months ago

Dense and structured with bramble, smoke and licorice. Opened up nicely after an hour. Not deeply complex but ejoyable. Had it with chilli con carne. — a month ago

Always love this wine. So complete and balanced, especially in cooler vintages. Welcoming nose of dark fruits, some funky stable and of course garique. Fresh palate with laurel, leather and some bitters. This can age gracefully. — 2 months ago
