95% Shiraz, 5% Cabernet. Considered to be one of the top 5 Granges in the 50 years between 1951 and 2001. I’ve always rated the 91 slightly higher than the 1990 which put Grange on the map in the USA when Wine Spectator made it their Wine of the Year and front page of their magazine. Nicely mature at 32 years with at least another decade or two in front of it. Black fruits of berry and cherry with mocha and dark chocolate. An absolutely smashing opulent wine which is made to go with Roast Lamb. Next one in 5 to 10 years. — 3 years ago

Pretty good! Came in the Costco Bordeaux case and drink on the lighter side but was very pleasant. — 4 years ago

Granges des peres 2007

Nez très expressif et explosif
Tapenade, café espresso, violette

La robe est dense, signe d’évolution à peine perceptible.

En bouche c’est puissant, c’est rond, il y a de la matière. Le Vin est intriguant, on veut y replonger le nez, pour voir s’il y aura de nouvelles arômes. La fraise et le cèdre font leur apparition en bouche 4:15PM. Je sens que le vin va évoluer tout au long de la soirée.

Apres quelques heures en carafe, on dénote, le coté viandeux, plus terreux, boite à cigare qui se mélange parfaitement aux autres aromes.

Je m’attendais à un profil plus bourguignon ou plus Rhône Nord comme le 2004 dégusté il y a déjà quelques années mais non je l’ai trouve un peu plus costaud qu’a mon souvenir mais c’est tout à fait excellent et extrêmement bien fait

White Burgundy. More butter than oak but not offensive. It’s a winter white for Adria and me. — 4 years ago

New vintage is slightly effervescent like a pet-nat, really lovely and citrusy and rich, grapefruit bitters. — 5 years ago

This is a delicious 13 year old Bordeaux. Showing red and black fruits with earth, wood, spices, light vegetables, pencil lead, peppercorn, leather, tobacco leaf, cola, coffee and wet leaves.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Nice and complex with a spicy finish and fine grained tannins. I also loved the nose here.

I was a little hesitant about decanting it, but I did so to remove the sediments, and then followed its progression. Always a great experience.

Needs an hour to open up properly and show more complexity, tannins and structure. Peaking now.

Very enjoyable by itself or with food.

I paired it with Brie cheese.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

Started as a basic Rhone but really opened up into something a little richer over time. Very good. Mostly dry with just a hint of jammy sweetness. — 7 years ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Nice nose of blue and black fruits with light wood, spices, licorice, light earth, vegetables, herbs, tobacco leaf and dark coffee.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cherries, light oak, spices, chocolates, licorice, coffee, tobacco leaf, earth and black pepper.

Nice length on the finish with fine grained tannins, raspberries and peppercorn.

This 7 year old Merlot from Bordeaux is peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. Complex and interesting.

I had this vintage 3 years ago, and it hasn't changed much, except that the nose has become noticeably prettier.

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly so be patient.

Good by itself and better with food. I paired it with grilled picanha.

A blend of 71% Merlot, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$25. — 2 years ago

2015 vintage. Big. Full. Needs time. Lots of time. If drinking now, give it at least a two hour decant pre-consumption. Medium bodied with plenty of grip. Plenty of cherries, oak, plum with a splash of woodlands air and an infinitesimal schwing of Hawaiian Punch. Maan, these La Granges generally need two decades to resolve/settle down/marry/divorce. — 4 years ago
