Celler Sort Del Castell

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1988

Part of a Chateau Mouton Rothschild vertical from 1988-1990. The 1988 shows great color and is quite charming with notes of cassis, tobacco, leather some bell pepper and a cinnamon bark sort of thing on the nose. Structure remains firm and this was a little greener than the ‘89 and ‘90. There is no risk of this falling off anytime soon; probably good through 2038. — 21 days ago

Billecart-Salmon

Brut Rosé Champagne Blend

She is red-fruit forward, she has brioche touches and sea salt nuances on the nose. The palate is that sort of balance there isn’t a proper word for but gosh it’s there. Finishes slightly toasty with a zip of lemon and a squeeze of cranberry. — 10 months ago

Raimat

Castell De Raimat Chardonnay 2021

Very interested Chardonnay, instant strong earthy and citrus flavours. Slowly mellows with a clean aftertaste. Just leaves a refreshing citrus twang in the cheeks. Definitely a favourite. Corte €7.60 Comparison: Veiga Naum, so much drier, Veiga lighter and fruitier, Raimat Chardonnay more intense and better long drink — 2 years ago

Cellers de Can Suriol del Castell

Azimut Blanc Penedés Maccabeu Blend

This is a really unique and lovely wine! It starts citrusy, lime and grapefruit, almost like an orange wine. It resolves super slowly but finishes with roasted almonds, vanilla, and a little hint of wet dog. Surprising and delicious. — 2 months ago

Domaine Grosbot-Barbara

S.A.S Prince Charles-Henri de Lobkowicz St. Pourçain Chardonnay Blend 2019

This is a find. Tiny appellation Saint-Pourçain smack in the middle of France, renowned in the Middle Ages but sort of forgotten today. 70% Chardonnay, 30% tressalier (Sacy). Honeysuckle nose, pear. Rich luxurious palate unfolds like velvet curtains all balanced out by coursing acidity & mineral notes. Judicious buttery oak notes play second fiddle supporting the fruit. Stone fruit. Wow. 😍 @Lyle Fass @Matthew Cohen — 3 years ago

@Lyle Fass like a meursault / Loire cross. Beautiful.

Weingut Keller

Abts E de Riesling 2009

A aus Abtserde from young vines. Nose unmistakable Keller. Depth of flavour through the roof with tropical fruits lingering in the background. Strength, balance and precision. Could still taste this minutes later...wow.
Drinking this sort of wine is always a privilege and should be done with excellent friends!

@Ira Schwartz was a new one for me too. Seems to have been a one off in 2009 for new vines in the AbtsE parcel. One for the collectors

Castell d'Encus

Taleia Brisat Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon 2018

Very clean entrance with a nice mid mouth and finish. Sharply mineral and not too acidic with a hint of nuts and vanilla at the end. Great wine. — 2 years ago
