Domaine Antonin Guyon
Clos du Village Monopole Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2000
Medium dark rubi robe, nose was a bit funky after uncorking. Secondary aromas, dark fruits and asian spices. Round, complex, well evolved but with a ton of time ahead. Great stuff at villages level.
Very evolved on secondary notes but still with flowers and dark cherries. Classically done, on top form now. Excellent Chambolle !
Château Montrose
Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2002
Dark rubi robe, no color evolution, reticent nose of cedar, tobacco and dark fruits. Its a small vintage but the wine is balanced and elegant, drinks well, with these more prominent tannins in better vintages, and lacking a bit of complexity. Its still one of the better 2002 bordeaux we had.
Château Lanessan
Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1995
Lacks complexity but its a truly excellent bottle and is singing now. Really good wine that is long lasting in bottle. Classical style.
Medium dark rubi robe, nose of cedar wood, top soil and asian spices. Does not look the age in any way. Its a great classical claret, very elegant, just lacks some complexity to get a higher score. Top notch for the price point, very civilized and polished tannins for the year.
Château Doisy-Daëne
L'Extravagant Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2018
This is unctuous, rich, opulent, but has great acidity and is very light on its feet. A fantastic Barsac. Really great and contrarily to conventional wisdom, great as an aperitif.
Contraryness yields pleasant surprises
