First wine of 2025 and had to open something fun! From Mag.

1 hour decant(some chunky/fine sediment). A striking dark ruby red color. On the nose: jumping from the glass is ripe dark fruit, currants, mint, floral, wet forest floor, truffles, and some roasted meat. Taste: smooth, soft, silky, seductive wine with plum/cherry, earth, cedar, minerals, and a medium plus smokey spiced chocolate finish. YUM! — a month ago

Liked a lot. From Haskell’s box, our second red Bordeaux. Medium body with some but not marked tannins, is mainly a Merlot blend with less Cabernet from this region I think. — a month ago

The Sauvignon blanc lightly shows through with subtle notes of gooseberry and lime but is completed well by the Pinot Gris and Marsanne with hints of tropical fruits and subtle florals. A very good wine! — 6 months ago

La Guigasse has a sweeter fruit, less aromas and lower definition than Les Grand Pin in 2017. — 4 years ago

First vintage under the ownership of Le Pin. The nose starts off with abundant of blueberry, blackberry and cassis, and then turns to warm spices, black pepper, graphite, and hint of cigar box. Medium to full elegant body. Bitter sweet long finish.
Just entering its drinking window. Fantastic value. — 8 months ago

9.0

1985 vintage. A nice surprise and another testimony to the ageing potential of the great 1985 vintage. Still a solid colour at 37 years old. Smoke and cedar wood, good concentration of dried fruits and spices. There is complexity and length, well worth seeking out if you like older wines. — 2 years ago
