Dark and bridging. Some spice and bridging herbal notes. Gnarly fruit. Still quite dense. Serious stuff — a month ago
Château Marquis d'Alesme
Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2016
The 2016 Château Marquis d’Alesme hasn’t budged a bit since I last tasted it around four years ago. It remains a stoic, savoury Margaux with a herbaceous character and underlying inky, tangy fruit. It’s still quite shy, scarcely changing on the second night, and probably much too young still for enjoying.
Back goes the case with a big ‘do not touch’ stamp – probably for another four years.

Clos De La Roilette
Clos de la Roilette Griffe du Marquis Fleurie Gamay 2012
Proof that Cru Beauj can age. This bottle was better than the last one. Brighter ruby color, fresher red berry fruit, light tannins and good acidity . Best wine of the night in a killer lineup. — 16 days ago
Château Léoville-Las Cases
Clos du Marquis Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
Mother’s day lunch.
Not a vintage we like but this one is excellent. Dark rubi robe, no signs of aging. Nose of asphalt, cedar, anise and blackcurrant. Very elegant fruit tannin and a bit of wood tannin to shed still, would be better with less. An extracted wine done with lots of wood but balanced and elegant same time. We liked it a lot. Increased the score after the last couple of glasses we got around 8 hours later. — 2 days ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blueberries, currants, plums, tobacco leaf, cedar, licorice, light vanilla and black pepper.
Medium plus in body and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, blueberries, plums, cooked cherries, spices, light cedar, licorice, chocolates, dark coffee, herbs and black peppers.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Merlot blend from Saint Estephe. Rich, smooth and elegant.
This second wine from the Third Growth Chateau is showing nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
This 10 year old is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
A great sipping wine. Plush and fruit forward.
A blend of 57% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 17 months in (50% new) French Oak barrels.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
