St. Émilion, Libournais

Château Larcis Ducasse

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

2018 vintage. Last tasted 02.21.22 (9.5). Same tonight. Expressive nose and great body. On the path to pleasure. Really difficult to source this specific vintage currently. Grrr. 04.07.25. — a day ago

Château Grand Corbin-Despagne

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2021

Robe rubis claire, pas la plus dense. Un nez qui semblait poussiéreux au début mais qui s'ouvre vers du fruits et de chocolat. Le bois n'est pas totalement intégré. La bouche est sèche avec un bois légèrement astringent. Une bonne dose de tabac se fait sentir tout comme un fruits jeune. — 24 days ago

Château La Dominique

Grand Cru Classé St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Vintage 2010 | gave it two hours in decanter, a barnyard stinky in smell (not everyone appreciates this, I do), cedar very present, hints of spices and a good concentration. When accompanied with food it is ready to drink now. Fine right bank wine, neighbour of Cheval Blanc (I take a special interest in neighbours of the priceless top domaines). — 14 days ago

I’m a big fan of La Dominique, though I haven’t purchased any after the 1990.

Château Barde-Haut

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

Super earthy at first, but with air the fruit/earth balance is equilibrating. Loads of irony/clay notes in the nose, with dark plummy fruit. Tannins are integrating but still present. This presents more like a 20th Century right bank wine than what is usual now, with fruit and softness but no overripeness and a nice sense of restraint. — 18 days ago
