Really nice St. Emilion satellite wine. After 30 min the palate is ripe with red and black fruit and vegetation. The tannic bite on the back end is soft and smooth. Great QPR — 2 months ago
1985 Cru Borgeois from Bel Air Lagrave. Tobacco leaf, cigar smoke, really subtle leather. Very pretty. — 6 months ago
Seems very light but actually taste is rich and the wine has strong tannins. Surprisingly mature smell. — 5 months ago
First granny Smith apple with a lemon lime spritzer then a tart grapefruit with a mouth watering acidic, tongue, zinging finish well in between some nuances of herbs and greens just begging for another sip — 2 months ago
2017 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 30 mins. Medium-heavy body but starting to thin out slightly. Taupenot-Merme is one of the "bigger bodied" Burgs. Wanted more earth but got more spice instead. Decent compromise. Seems like another 3-4 years would find this hitting the optimal sweet spot. 8.23.24. — 9 months ago
