Château La Rose Figeac
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1990
1990 vintage. An under the radar Pomerol, bought in 1961 by the grandfather of current owner Nathalie Despagne. He also owned La Tour Figeac in Saint-Emilion and La Rose Figeac is just across the Saint-Emilion border. The 4,56 hectare vineyard consists of 9 parcels (all within 500 m of each other) on gravelly sandy soils and is planted with Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc. My bottle had a near-perfect level and as the smell was a bit musty upon opening, but there was still good fruit in the mouth and the colour looked very solid, I took the risk to decant it. It turned out to be a wise decision as the wine evolved positively, even if the tannins remained a bit rustic. On the other hand it still has lively fruit and freshness, it is a testimony to the ageing potential of Bordeaux wines and an attractive food wine. Abv. 12,8% . — 2 years ago
Château de La Tour
Clos Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2016
Slightly deeper colour than the 2019 and 2017 . More closed , quite rich summer fruits , touch more mineral . Pretty big and rich in the mouth , more powerful tannins , more masculine more wild and serious than the 2017 . Long and mineral on the finish . Needs time this may well close down but lots of promise . Quite mineral and saline on the rose and redcurrant tinged finish . Will improve over the next 10-15 years and last a further 10 . — a year ago

Lovely rose, just the way I like them! Crisp and acidic, dry. Notes of strawberry, grapefruit, and maybe a light bergamot aftertaste. Purchased in Prague. — a month ago
