Avant Unoaked California Chardonnay 2024

Just a grocery store wine but I really enjoy the refreshing taste of it, especially with grilled oysters! My friend spent a few days with me who I met in the Navy while in Japan back in the 80’s. Of course friends always cook good food and drink delicious wine while together! — 2 months ago

Château-Chalon Vin de Garde Savagnin 1995

Medium deep lemon , old gold colour , slightly hazy appearance. Intense on the nose with iodine , sea breeze , green apple and Indian spices . On the palate this also shows a lot of intensity and grip , really quite young apparently . Green apple , toasted almonds , orange rind , curry and a strong seaside component . Long and complex on the finish with , really fresh saline tinged acidity . This is seems pretty young and I would imagine can still go another decade or longer. — 6 months ago

Château de Sancerre

Passe Avant le Meilleur Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Pale lemon color, with aromas of citrus, floral and flinty stone fruits. On the palate flavors of grapefruit, pineapple and peach with floral notes and slight herb spice. Medium+ finish, vivid acidity ending with citrus and stony mineral spice. Nice! — 4 months ago

La Terrasse de La Garde

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

This is equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but my nose keeps telling me it's Syrah. Heat and spice on the nose. Muted dark fruit flavors, blackberry, raisin, figs followed by powerfully bitter tea leaves, red apple skins, and stone. A lingering tannic finish. It's good, but should have been decanted and paired with food, not sipped before bed. Try again tomorrow.

Did it end up getting better later?

So much better. It's amazing how a little oxygen can transform a wine into something completely new. @Tegan Marriott
