Clos Saint Michel

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2020

My wife said it smelled like fart but to my nose pure barnyard, it dissipated (does that make it more fart-like?). Mid-weight and gorgeously textured Syrah with no hard edges, tangy ripe red berry, black tapenade, white pepper and leathery tones in a velvety package. Needed a short decant and was a super match for braised rib. — 7 days ago

LOL. The answer is yes, more fart-like.

Nice. This sub appellation is coming on strong. Try the Chave St. Joseph if you haven’t already.

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Lovely bottle of 1986 Ducru Beaucalliou. A little smoky and not as long as the last bottle but solid with rib chop, sautéed spinach, mushrooms Diane, and Beef Fat Fries at Hawksmoor NYC. Staff said they were going to decant and then did not. I think it would have opened more had they. Next time: insist. — 9 days ago

Ultreia Saint Jacques Mencía 2020

2020. Red fruit filled in after being open for a few hours to balance out the mild funkiness and medium tannins. Paired nicely with homemade lamb kofta and fantasy football drafting. — 4 days ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Medium garnet , medium wide garnet terracotta rim . Tobacco , sous bois , touch of ash and coffee . On the palate quite rounded but firm tannins , dark cassis , cedar , sous bois . Good acidity and medium grafite tinged finish . Overall a touch rustic in comparison to the other Leovilles , but this is drinking perfectly now , no rush however as this held up well in the glass,
so now and over the next 5-10 years

375ml. Was great! Not as good as the Haut Marbuzet even though it was 30% more. Classic Bordeaux. Refined and lovely texture. See previous note on the ‘09. — 16 days ago

Château Phélan Ségur

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Big & self-assured, and yet elegant. Still very young. Very CS dominated nose, black fruit, some cassis, a touch of nice wood & dark chocolate rounded & very elegant.
Proper St Estephe on palate - good tannic frame, juicy acidity, pure black fruit. Great depth here. And aging potential. Needs a bit of time, but it’s already shining.
