St. Émilion, Libournais

Château Angélus

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

2005 vintage. Decanted and open for 3.5 hours before tasting. Intense and spicy richness in the frontal palate/gums. Harmonious the rest of the journey. Very very close to opening the door to the hall of mirrors and entering the "zone" of optimal drinking. Still pretty youthful and no rush to crush. At least two decades of gorgeous enjoyment ahead. Even the greatest wines change themselves in the looking glass. 5.17.23. — 10 days ago

Château Canon-la-Gaffelière

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2016


Dark purple from core to rim. Inviting nose of plum and blueberry cobbler. Medium full palate confirms the nose adding an undertone of balsa wood and graphite. Medium acidity. Medium dusty tannins. More excellence from the Count! 2016 was a classic vintage and this is a classic example of what the appellation can do. Drinking wonderfully now, but should reward cellaring through at least 2031.

Always a treat to drink well made/stored Bordeaux with this kind of age. It always makes me ask the people I enjoy them with, tell me a memory you have (in this case) from 1975.

Still gotta have a memory.

Château Pavie

Saint-Èmilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

The 2003 Pavie is the vintage Parker and Robinson had their war of words over. On its 20 year anniversary I have to say it is a beautiful wine that has a rich and ripe profile with great balance and currently cruising on its plateau. — 2 days ago

Château Ausone

Saint Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1993

Always a treat to drink an Ausone, off vintage that is drinking well showing berry, plum fruit, savory spice, menthol, with notes of earth, rust, iron & tobacco. — 2 days ago

Château La Gaffelière

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

2010 fest. The nose on this after 1.5 hrs was out of this world with musty spiced sexy truffle scents. On the palate it had a medium body, medium alcohol, medium tannins and you know where this is going: ultra balanced, classic old world feel full of rich character that never disappoints. Cheers. — a month ago
