Forgotten Wonders

Château Saint-Pierre

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

2012 vintage. 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. An excellent effort in a largely forgotten vintage. Cassis, blackberries, cedar, and Pauillac-like lead pencil. — a year ago

Savasol Menu Pineau 2015

New Year’s Eve leftovers forgotten (open) in the fridge after an epic night and a full day of napping. So after 36 hours it’s still pretty righteous amber bliss, a bitter edge with singular notes of butterscotch, anise, petrol, citrus rind, pine, and the faintest bit of untanned leather on the way way back....nice performance. very easy late morning armchair drinking. vendor says 2015 but the bottle is not marked. — 4 years ago

Camilla Barolo Nebbiolo 2018

2018 vintage. Lighter in body but good length of cola, bay leaf and black pepper flavors on the finish. So youthful. A half-decade would do wonders. — 2 years ago

Domaine Le Roc

Cuvée Don Quichotte Fronton 2015

Forgotten bottle at my in laws. What a good surprise! Didn't know I had left it there 🤷🏻‍♂️.
This is again a very biaised review as this comes from a vineyard located 10 miles away from where I grew up. A blend of negrette and syrah.
There is a strong violet, blackberry, irony, pepper nose. Very inviting. The palate is very much defined by its acid backbone and its vibrant blackberry and cherry note. There is a huge tannins wall in the middle here, drying up everything in its wake but making way to a fruity, peppery finish with a fruity twist. Huge wine for less than 10 euros

Fattoria Terre Del Marchesato

Marchesale Toscana IGT Syrah 2007

Didn’t know what to expect from this wine. It’s been in the cellar for a while, forgotten. Grabbed it to have with some BBQ ribs, collard greens, grilled asparagus, butternut squash, and coleslaw. A dynamite choice. — 5 years ago
