9.0

2022 vintage. Another Castel family estate ( since 1960),and again amazing value for money. Lighter colour, and more immediately open compared to the Tour Prignac 2022 tasted alongside. Very accessible, charming, everyday Bordeaux. Abv. 14%. — 5 days ago

2020 vintage. Batheos is a high end wine produced by Pierre-Yves Joannon at Château Roquegrave in the Northern Médoc ( Valeyrac). There is very little chance you will come across a bottle, as there were only 2050 produced. Pierre-Yves is a storyteller and it would lead us too far to tell the whole story behind this wine, but most importantly it is very good. — 10 days ago

9.1

2022 vintage. One of the Castel family estates since 1973 ( before the estate was known as Domaine de Tartuguière). With 144 hectares of vines,this is the largest contiguous vineyard in the Médoc. Vanessa Trouy has been in charge since 2002. Dark red colour. Needs a bit of time to open up, give it 15 minutes to release attractive aromas of strawberries, flowers, nutmeg and oak. Good fruit concentration in the mouth, with a solid tannic structure,fresh acidity and nice length. This will need a few years to show all its potential, and has serious ageing potential. For now decanting is recommended, pair with a good steak. Another terrific Bordeaux value. — 5 days ago

2022 vintage. Impressive concentration, but even if it handles the oak better than the 2020, it is still overoaked in my humble opinion. — 14 days ago

9.3

2022 vintage. Château Liouner, Cru Bourgeois Listrac. Not sure of the blend in this vintage, but in general it's about 60/40 Merlot/ Cabernet Sauvignon for this estate. It's sad to see this in a supermarket at less than half the price mentioned on the website ( other vintages), but then the wine world is in crisis. If you have to sell this quality at such a very low price, something is very wrong. — 8 days ago
