Entre Deux Mers White Bordeaux Blend 2022

N: massive cat piss gooseberry. Sort of pretty. Lychee? More white flower as it opens.

P: gooseberry. Peach. A bit creamy. Some brine.

Very good example of what it is.

9.7

This was my WOTN - amazing juice - traditional LPV / Schrader but with a nice extra kick of something else

En Mag

This wine has loads of deep, rich, sweet dark berries and vibrant, chocolate covered boysenberry finish - 2 hour decant and bam - singing loud and clear - nicely integrated silky tannins - finish was unique but not as long as I wanted or I would have gave a 9.9

The 12 is really ready to drink but might get even better is a few years

A guilty like smile - sort of like the cat that shallowed the canary smile as in the carton with tweetie bird

Magnum. This wine has superb texture, an opulent, FULL- BODIED mouthfeel, Layered finish. Sensational wine that could use a few more years in the bottle.
@Mike R Can you imagine what this would taste like in 5+ years. Can’t thank you enough for sharing this with all of us.

What a wonderful tactile, Piedmonte wine. So many things unfolding as you go. Layers as Shrek would say.

9.1

91 on its own. With my Mother’s old fashion sour cream coffee cake a 9.2

We had it with the N/V Bollinger & Laurent but, the Laurent was the better pair. Not necessarily the better Champange.

One of the best things about the coffee cake is you can enjoy it as dessert and/or with my Barista whole Milk Lattes w/ Cat N Cloud “The Answer“ beans. Something to look forward to!!!!

$18 375ml’s at Costco. Stocked up.
