From Ets Martin 2018 on 12/19/2021. Excellent winter white. Peach up front; blanched almonds — no macadamia— mid palate, and celery finish. Laura points out high alcohol for a white, in order to get around certain tariffs. Don’t taste the hotness of high alcohol, however. It does go to one’s head. — 4 years ago

Domaine Virginie Thunevin

Grand Vin de Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend

8.9

2018 vintage. 100% Merlot from this estate in Lalande de Fronsac, named after Valandraud owner Jean-Luc Thunevin's daughter. Another sexy Bordeaux value. Good concentration, ripe fruit, ripe tannin and good acidity. A little alcohol heat in the finish prevents it from a higher score, but very good value at less than 10 euros. — 4 years ago
