Domaine François Raveneau

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2004

Beautiful poise. Light and refined. Soft lemon. Rock pools, minerality, a hint of corn and yellow flowers. Intense but light and dancing on the palate. Great balance and long. Powerful but still subtle. — a month ago

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Tried 3 years ago, and it was a tannic bottle of disappointment, it's changed for the better.

2 hour decant(some chunky/fine sediment). A splendid dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: dark fruit, cocoa, pencil shavings, floral, cigar box, menthol. Taste: soft, elegant wine with some black/red fruit, currants, crushed stone, and an earthy black tea lean medium finish. Not the depth and power of a great year, drinks well now...not sure how much more this will improve.

Château Fleur Cardinale

Grand Cru Classé Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

On open is quite vegetal. Needs an hour at this point to smooth out.

Nose: some game. Savory. Some pink and purple flowers.

Palate: savory. Cherries. Really meaty. Interesting. Still fresh but a wine that demands magret du canard. Good freshness.

Also would kill with duck leg confit.

A very well made Bordeaux.
