This seems more integrated than the Hyland Vineyard, same vintage. Anyone have insight? — 4 days ago

Château Bouscassé (Alain Brumont)

Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat 1990

[80% Tannat, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon] Leather, forest floor, maybe a little Brett, excellent structure and depth, despite its age, seems like it can easily age another 10-15 years, long, lingering finish, excellent Madiran! — 18 days ago

Martin Stelling Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Wine is incredibly dark and brooding. Very dense and heavy taste and texture right out of the bottle.

Drank over about 3 hours. Oxygen was this wines friend and the wine opened up quite a bit to reveal more bright and red fruit to complement the black fruit and density which also gave way as it breathed.

Not a blockbuster from a complexity perspective and lacked the punch of something special. But a solid oakville cab nonetheless and not too oaky.

Domaine du Clos de Sixte Lirac Red Rhone Blend 2020

Nearly opaque crimson color.
Rich bouquet with tannins present.
Immediately spiced on the palate with an earthy, cocoa, herbaceous, candied, fertilized quality.
Lots of gentle chocolate rounded out by dark, fresh fruit.

Cuvée Mes Favorites Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2017

Lyle Fass
9.2

Nice nose of spice, mid season cherry, dark rustling leaves, wet moss, dark flowers, and lots of mineral. Terrific depth and ebullience on the nose. Palate is ripe and juicy but a bit one note, lacking in energy and the tannins seem a bit much for the vintage. Let’s see where this goes. — a day ago
