Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

Le nez prend un peu de temps à se placer, nez assez classique de rive-gauche par la suite, ne montre aucune fatigue, superbe texture, une finale longue et savoureuse, très beau. 92-93

The nose needs some air, the cork was wet with some aromas of wet cardboard at first but things got for the better after with no apparent defect and a classic left bank nose. Gorgeous balanced Cos, not the most powerful at this point but gracious, showing no fatigue also with a long delicious finish.

Laurent-Perrier

Grand Siècle Alexandra Brut Rosé Champagne

Determined too gauche to ask for the bottle shot but not too gauche to perhaps be mistaken for transit Instagram activity. Oh well. Beautiful Pinot balance with a delicate floral / strawberry combo without too much dosage. 2004 is starting to be my go to 2000s and honestly for champs may prefer to 1990 garden variety at this point. — 3 years ago

Rive Gauche-Rive Droite Grand Cru Extra Brut Champagne Blend 2010

Nose has warmed stone fruits, warmed margarine, green apple peel, moist maple wood and crushed limestone.

Palate has under-ripe tangerine, yellow apple flesh, candied orange, day old lemon wedge, minor barrel influence and light acidity. Gentle in the mouth, very fine bubbles, happy.

I really enjoyed this wine. It’s massive — 16.0% — but not gauche. It’s smooth, low tannin even though young, it is fruity up front but surprisingly dry in the back. It’s wild, with intense flavors (pepper? Even though it’s mourvedre?), lower residual sugar than I expected. The winery recommends the bottle to be upright for a week followed by a 3-4 hour decant. I honored the decant but not the upright. I used a filter but the sediment seemed extremely low. Delightful. $250. — 3 years ago
