Nose is minty and spicey. Palate is deep and rich with terrific mineral spine and wonderful structure. Ripe but substantial tannin. Nose has notes of ripe plum, peanuts and a saline element. Really good energy and depth. Not the most elegant wine but this has tremendous material and its own grace and charm. This needs air but I really like it. — a month ago
1hr+ decant. This was great, but did fade faster than expected so I’d drink up. Very complex nose and palate that can only be found in higher end Bordeaux’s. Great depth and long finish. Not sure if this is being produced any more, but if it is, I’m a buyer. — 2 months ago
Pale lemon in color.
Light nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and complex.
Showing limes, citrus, green apples, light grapefruits, herbs, minerals and white pepper.
This is a very tasty Sauvignon Blanc from the house of Cantenac Brown in Bordeaux. Rich and elegant. Well balanced and easy drinking.
A good quality wine, that needs some time to open up.
Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.
Good by itself as a sipping wine, and better when not too cold.
A blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Sémillon. Aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.

It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Light nose and medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and complex, with a very soft mouthfeel.
Showing currants, light wood, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, licorice, chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This delicious 13 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Margaux is starting to drink nicely now. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and nicely balanced. Complex and interesting.
Showing more earth notes than the 2016 vintage, and a little reserved right now.
This 3rd Growth Cabernet is a good sipping wine, and will also pair nicely with BBQ Meats.
A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. Aged in (60% new) French oak barrels for 14 months.
