Narrow Path Winery

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Pretty deep , narrow ruby rim. Quite rich , almost exotic nose , dark cassis , dark plum, rich spiced blackberry, touch of cocoa , vanilla, smoke. On the palate this is quite rich but also very elegant with balanced refreshing acidity . Cassis , mineral , grafite , dark cherry. Ripe but very present tannins . Long and refined finish . After a while becoming more mineral and quite serious . Needs time , better in 5-10 years and last well a further 10-15 . This is a very successful showing and though obviously very young is enjoyable and involving to drink at the moment. — 9 days ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

Compelling aromatics, blossomed with more air. Somewhat narrow palate. Last sip the best. Unfortunately, not next-level. Vintage? — a year ago

Duckhorn Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Solid. But following an Insignia it had nowhere to hide. Not bad but narrow. A bit too sweet and short. Wholly pleasant but so limited. — 3 years ago

Domaine Francois Lamarche

La Grande Rue Grand Cru Monopole Pinot Noir 2013

Medium ruby , quite narrow ruby garnet rim . Quite discreet , mix of red and dark fruits with limestone , rose , cranberry and blackberry . On the palate quite intense and mineral, chalky and cool strawberry , cranberry , blackberry and cherry . Shows more tannin than the 2017 , still quite young and fruit driven , but more mineral and darker fruits . Good mineral , chalky tinged length . Drinking well now though no rush over the next 10 years — 6 months ago

Recis Spätburgunder 2011

Excellent see previous notes. Franken! No one knows they make Pinot. Franconia. Excellent really. Mellowed out all the way. Orange juice. Cherry undertones. Stunning. Fantastic winery but boy is this off the beaten path. Visited once. They mostly make Silvaner. So this is the oddball. — 8 months ago

Château Montrose

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019

Deep and quite opaque , narrow ruby rim . Quite a lot of wood spice though with time in the glass there is a lot underneath that oak , dark cassis , ripe blackberry and a mineral undertone . Quite round and ripe on the palate , almost ‘new world’ in style compared to some of the preceding vintages , rounded but gritty tannin , balanced acidity . Generous and round, but with balanced alcohol , good length. Dark cassis , blackberry dark cherry notes. A strong oyster shell , saline component after a while in the glass . Needs time obviously , even though this is quite round and ripe. Intense with great potential. Better in 10-15 years will last well a further 10-15. — 7 months ago
