Domaine Du Plateau Des Pierres

Domaine André Bonhomme

Les Pierres Blanches Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2022

What to expect:

* Nose: Ripe lemon, yellow apple, pear, white flowers, a touch of honey.

* Texture: Creamy with excellent minerality and a long, saline finish.
* Style: Elegant rather than powerful.

Penfolds

Bin 389 South Australia Cabernet Shiraz 2002

See many previous notes. Holding up comfortably from this excellent cooler vintage . 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Shiraz. I am lucky to have 6 bottles left from back in the day when I bought 2 dozen. Definitely drinking on the plateau and will carry on for a while yet. Medium weight palate but with great length and persistence. Will probably consume the rest over the next 3 to 4 years. Penfolds 2020 collection (17 wines)just released in Australia. The 2018 Bin 389 received 96 points from Halliday. The 2016 Grange is being talked about as one of the greats - 99 points from Halliday. — 6 years ago

This used to be a stable for me, Bob. I prefer the 407, 707 and RWT. But, I agree, this is good blend from Penfolds.

Aged in Stockinger barrels. Spicy, with a touch of wood and cake spices. No sulfites. Juicy, clean and remarkably pure, with gras texture balanced by freshness. Gentle, delicate, deep and explosive all at once. — 13 days ago

Gauthier Cuvee Aubert Saint-Joseph Marsanne Roussanne 2018

Young, but great upside potential. Old vine Marsanne from the lieu-dit Aubert, east of the Sainte Epine vineyard. One of the original St Joseph appellation parcels, tended by Trollat for decades according to the spec sheet. Delightful. — 5 years ago

My bottle was tight as well. But this was NUTS out of barrel. I have faith it will blossom.

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2000

Mid to deep Ruby in colour. Some maturity in evidence on the rim. Cedar/cigar box aromas with black currant and cassis - classic Pauillac descriptors Only medium bodied - lacked some intensity for the vintage. Restrained - 20 years might be its limit. It will sit on the plateau but won’t improve. In summary a lovely old claret and has been better than its 5th Growth status for decades. “Lunch Bags” as old poms used to refer to it as. — 6 years ago

I’m still making my way through my 85 and 86 LBs, then will check in on 82s 89s and 90s. Have recently had a 61 that had a lot of energy and complexity in it. I will not touch the 00s for at least another 10 years... maybe it’s preference but based on my experience I disagree with the assessment that the 00s will not improve in the next 25 years. They are still babies!

@Mike Saviage Thanks for your insights. Based on my (pleasurable) experience I am inclined to agree with Jancis’s drinking window of 2010 to 2024 although I see James Molesworth takes it thru to 2033 and Parker 2031 to 2036. Will be interested to read other tasting notes on this wine in years to come.
