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

La Penitencia Mencía Blend 2011

Raul Perez, Mencia wizard and human garden gnome, makes some of the most innovative and highly allocated wines from anywhere. I don’t often drink stuff this good. Sometimes you need to be reminded that average and good wines are made for relaxation and enjoyment and that extraordinary wines are art.

La penitencia could be the best thing I’ve ever opened at home. It’s elegant and bootlegged. The front label probably designed in an Internet cafe, the back label looks like it was cut and glued by a five year old. These things make it lovable because it’s so bad and it’s so good.

Pours a browned purple motor oil. The aromas fly. Perfumes of red and blue colored berries, clove, spice, leather. Like a brand new catchers mitt that needs some oil and some love. Feels of plush berry fruit and flavors of prunes and macerated strawberries and boxed raisins that seem to hang around for about as many years as I waited to open this thing.

Tenuta di Fessina

Musmeci Nerello Mascalese 2015

Pale crimson in colour. An earthy, horsey, ultra savoury nose. A light to medium weight savoury palate with dried cherry, earthy mineral flavours and light Sandy tannins. I really loved this Etna Rosso which we picked from the all Italian Wine List at the River Cafe London. Went well with a lovely fresh piece of Turbot. — 3 years ago

Château Lascombes

Margaux Merlot Blend 2000

Désolé de la photo, @delectable a supprimé mon historique et mes vins sauvegardés des 142 dernières semaines...

Tres beau Lascombes 2000, nez bordelais, café, tabac, cigare, une touche florale. En bouche, c’est bien équilibré, quand meme frais et délicat, on retrouve des saveurs similaires, cafe, cedre, tabac. Les tannins sont droit et ca donne une belle structure! J’ai bien aimé, il ne s’est pas rendu au jour
