8.8

2022 vintage. Very good value from the first estate acquired by the Castel family in 1957. A seriously good "petit Bordeaux". Solid dark red colour. Dark cherries and a touch of oak. Not particularly complex or long, but a very good every day Bordeaux. Moreover, it can age ( the 2016 is still drinking well). Abv. 14%. — a day ago

2010 vintage. This was before the estate was sold to Sylvie Cases. Fully mature, a bit more evolved than expected. — 5 days ago

2015 vintage. Beautiful nose, truffle galore. A delicious Pomerol, ready to drink. It would have been nice to taste the grand vin next to it, because sometimes you wonder if the second wine turns out to outperform the grand vin. — 5 days ago

7.9

2020 vintage. Quaffable at best,but a bit diluted and terribly boring. Not something I want to drink. Totally outperformed by the humble Bordeaux Supérieur Château de Goëlane 2022 that I opened instead. — a day ago

9.2

2019 vintage. A small 7 hectares estate with vineyards bought from Palmer and Durfort Vivens in 1928. Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (40%) and Petit Verdot. Dark red, with orange rim. Cassis, blackberries and violet, the latter becoming more pronounced after an hour. A smooth, elegant Margaux with silky tannins and good length that doesn't break the bank. Abv. 13%. — 4 days ago

This is the second wine of Château Barreyres, 2022 vintage. A fine value Haut-Médoc (10 euro!), and proof that Bordeaux can do fruity reds that can be enjoyed young and that offer incredible value for money. Abv. 13,5%. — 5 days ago

2022 vintage. Château Gravat, Cru Bourgeois Médoc. The wine world is in crisis. It's hard to believe that one can find this quality at such a ridiculously low price ( I dare not tell you how low). Ripe cherries and some smokiness. Impeccable, juicy Médoc for unpretentious pleasure. — 4 days ago

9.1

2020 vintage. Beaujolais " La Mère" from La Famille K. A delicious Gamay from 90 years old vines in the Pierres Dorées sector. Raspberries, cherries and some floral tones. Juicy red fruit with a good structure. Drinking well, but I believe this can still age. Very good value. Abv. 13%. — a month ago
