Château Le Sèpe Cuvée Initiale Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Vintage 2016 | surprising under the radar Bordeaux. Sainte Radegonde lies in Entre Deux Mers. The fascinating bouquet got my attention. It is só joyful, combination of red fruit and minerals, utterly balanced, reminds me a bit of Saint Julien. A Point now. Gives much much pleasure. — 7 months ago

Les 2 Arbres Cairanne Red Rhone Blend 2017

Complex and fully developed at its pinnacle this early. Complex notes of raspberry sauce, cooked blackberries, smoke, dark cherries, caramel, meat, pepper, and herbs. Nice concentration and good finish. Outperformed expectations. — 2 years ago

Secrets De Pignan Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache 2017

2017: Well-rated, very good CDP that features darker stewed fruit flavors and a good amount of port and earth nuances. While it suffers a typical CDP lack of acidity and vibrancy at this stage the fruit concentration makes this an above-average bottling and complements the growing complexity. Good value at $52 (VR). — 7 months ago

Château Grand-Pontet

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Lunch 🥪

K&L notes as follows, Grand Pontet is an interesting property, positioned in the neighborhood of other stars of the appellation such as Châteaux Canon, Beau-Séjour-Bécot and Clos Fourtet. It is, however, a small estate, a mere 14 hectares, and its prices are much better than some of its more prestigious neighbors. In 1980 it was purchased by Gerard and Dominique Bécot, owners of the neighboring Beau-Séjour-Bécot. They have applied the same high standards to both Châteaux in their possession, and their winemaking team crafts Grand Pontet alongside the Beau-Séjour-Bécot wines. Recently purchased in 2021 by Domaines Clarence Dillon (Haut-Brion, La Mission Haut-Brion, et al.), the property was combined with and incorporated into Château Quintus. Full-bodied and luscious, this Grand Pontet is laden with ripe blackberry fruits, savory tobacco, licorice notes, and ripe, softened tannins. It’s seamless and bold, not shy. It’s going to require something decadent to pair with, such as filet mignon or some other black-tie dish with plenty of flavor and rich umami presence.
