Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Another fine bottle from this great estate, a nose to die for. This is an impeccable bottle of wine firing on all cilinders. I can’t get enough of this wine, felt in love with it on a wine trip with Big J and ever since I buy this wine without blinking my eyes. — 21 days ago

@Willem Booij can only agree with you Willem. Have the same and luckily by now quite some vintages available. Cheers!

Wonderful flavor in my wife's favorite. Taste usually run towards the Moscato in Moscato and Roscato. Moderate sweetness. — a year ago

Lovely to drink with dessert. I taste pear, honey, and orange with tiny little bubbles. Sweet but delish! — 3 years ago

Château Quinault

L'Enclos St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

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

Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

The nose is simpler than I expected right out of the bottle, but beautiful once it opens up.

Medium plus in body and elegant, with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black plums, cooked cherries, light oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, espresso, earth, light forest floor and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Merlot based blend from Bordeaux is drinking nicely now, and feels young, especially on the nose.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. I did not decant it and left it in the bottle. I was actually worried that it will die sooner, but it still has a lot in it. Love to see that. Only after 2 hours, the nose opened up and tannins showed up.

This 26 years old is easy drinking and good by itself or with food. I had the 2010 vintage, five years ago, and I liked it better this time.

Robert Parker 94 points.

Paired nicely with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$100.

Bordeaux blend met Malbec die doorhakt helaas. Lekkere wijn maar €200 is toch te veel. — a year ago

Sainte - Croix Brut Clairette de Die

In the Clairette Vs Cremant wars, this one took the cake for sure. It had brighter acidity and was more focused on the palette. — 10 months ago

Geiles PLV, ein guter Wein.
Nach unten der Vergleich zu Dollt für 2 EUR weniger die Flasche, da ist sein Pteis gerechtfertigt. Nach oben von Herbstfüllung, Bechtheimer S geschmacklich nicht weit entfernt.

Complex yet very drinkable GV. Minerality, creaminess and a gentle bitterness in the finish. — 4 years ago
