Château Musar
Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2005
I haven’t had the 2005 Chateau Musar Rouge since it was released whilst living in the Middle East. Recently, I picked up a half case each of the 2005 Rouge and Blanc since it’s an anniversary wine for Holly and I. One thing is certain, no one could ever accuse Serge (and now Gaston) for making boring wines. Decanted for five hours prior to drinking. This had a crazy bouquet of grapefruit, brambles and strawberries, pipe tobacco, wild flowers, horse blanket. Delicious red fruit, spices and earth on the palate. Tannins are still present but much more integrated than when I had this on release. Examples like this bottle will continue to age gracefully for years to come. QPR is through the freaking roof. — 8 days ago

Domaine Léon Barral
Jadis Faugères Carignane Blend 2010
Savage grace. If you want to take a walk on the wild side, but in the most elegant way possible, this is for you. Violets, animal, plums, cherries, dried herbs. Tannins firm but playing a supporting role. A pleasure to follow the evolution over an hour or two. It’s officially fall weather here in NYC so thoughts are turning to southern France... — 2 days ago

16.5/20 (90/100) Вино с ароматами ежевичного варенья, спелых ягод черники, белого перца, мускатного ореха, чёрного чая и шоколада. Высокая кислотность, чуть липкие танины. Насыщенное во вкусе. Очень хорошо! — 8 days ago
