Medium lemon yellow , some development . On the nose this is still quite fresh , with some yellow fruits , white peach, white flowers, red apple , creamy lemon curd . On the palate this is quite rounded with touch of smoky lemon curd, lightly buttery and white peach . Balanced acidity , but not the brightest , and ok length , quite rounded but balanced . Good now and over the next few years . Impressive for a basic Bourgogne Blanc , especially from 2011. — a month ago
Everything a white Bordeaux should be.  extremely intense nose, feels oily before you taste it, spiced apples, vanilla, candied cedar, orange oil, lanolin. A tingling spicing sensation hits on the palate, followed by waves of citrus oil in a long finish, combining citrus both, bergamot and woodsy notes. It will balance out further with time, but it’s quite the experience already  — 4 days ago
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark purple in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black currants, blackberries, sweet cherries, light cedar, earth, herbs, light vegetables and chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, spices, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, licorice, pencil lead and earth.
Medium finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a tasty Merlot based blend from Margaux. Elegant, complex and nicely balanced.
This second wine from Château Lascombes is rich and fruit forward. Feels like a Right Bank Bordeaux with a touch of New World.
I had the 2018 not too long ago and this one is drinking much better now. Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years.
Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 16 months in used French oak barrels.
14% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Good for 13 slightly advanced and custardy but didn’t feel like it was a fully pre-moxed wine. — 16 days ago
