Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Not bad for an inexperienced Boudreaux consumer — 16 days ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

Okay. Again the same dilemma. If a wine does not meet expectation is it basically bad (for me)? 🤔 because in life everything is relative, right? Any thoughts on puzzling matter??The wine was well balanced, dark red fruit flavors, polished, smooth tannins, good intensity and concentration, but limited length and lacking any meaningful complexity… Eight year old left bank Bordeaux. A fourth or fifth growth winery, maybe not, can’t remember for sure. Do remember what I paid though, $120. Definitely too much for what we experienced this evening…. as to our expectations. — 9 months ago

@Jan de Weerd from reviews not personal experience. Most let this wine age twenty plus years?

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Pure pleasure, still full of life, complex nose, great texture, rich and delicious. Not bad for a Friday afternoon lunch of duck confit. — 4 years ago

Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Savennières Chenin Blanc 2022

I mistakenly selected this bottle of the Moelleux rather than the Sec version of Clos de la Coulée de Serrant. And I gotta be honest, I didn’t even know this wine existed. Oh well, I can’t feel too bad about it, lol!Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2022 “Moelleux” pours a golden color with medium+ viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with heady notes of ripe orchard fruit: Gala apple, lemon drop, citrus tree flowers, lanolin and mild eastern spices. On the palate, the wine is off-dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose where the flowers took on more of a honeysuckle character. The finish is long and the texture is wooly and substantial. Not nearly as sweet as I was expecting from a Moelleux and actually comes across more Demi-Sec; a very pleasant surprise since it was picked by mistake anyway! This is better as it warms up and receives air. Can drink now with patience but better after 2032 and through 2052. — a day ago

@Douglas Braun they are unique/special for sure though, not appreciated by all due to Joly’s more natural, bio approach. Personally, I find Joly’s other two wines, Les Vieux Clos and especially Le Clos de la Bergerie to be thrilling as well.

@Jay Kline thanks for the recommendations - I met him at a seminar in Santa Cruz and was interested to try his wines - I will soon

Revana Family Vineyard

St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Heidi Barrett put this winery on the map. Lush red fruit with subtle tannins that are multi tiered. Has years to continue to mature. Their wines have not stayed at this level since Heidi left. Too bad!! — 3 years ago

9.1

Englishman Jonathan Maltus (of La Dome) Napa project. Nose shows blackcurrant, plum, cassis, pencil shavings, and clove with a herbaceous undertone. Juicy with medium to full body. Velvety tannins. Stylish, but lacking a bit of depth and complexity. — 5 months ago

Chateau Montelena

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2011

Magnum. Call it like you see it, drink it like you taste it; from a bad vintage or that is a vintage of a lot of rain at harvest. Jesus this was good. Perfect balance of acidity, toast, Carmel-curd. Roasted pineapple. This was a beautiful wine that showed zero age after 12yr, but also perfectly evolved. Loved. — 2 years ago

An easy everyday Bordeaux as it’s affordable. Very fruit forward with spice but finish is lacking. — 5 years ago
