La Terrasse de La Garde

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

This is equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, but my nose keeps telling me it's Syrah. Heat and spice on the nose. Muted dark fruit flavors, blackberry, raisin, figs followed by powerfully bitter tea leaves, red apple skins, and stone. A lingering tannic finish. It's good, but should have been decanted and paired with food, not sipped before bed. Try again tomorrow.

Did it end up getting better later?

So much better. It's amazing how a little oxygen can transform a wine into something completely new. @Tegan Marriott

Le Temps est Venu Côtes du Rhône Grenache 2020

2020 vintage. Medium-heavy body. Dark-fruited nose. Sleek chassis. A bit classier than most CDR's and less "chunky." Would definitely hit again for the price. 11.25.24. — a year ago

Diana Madeline Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Deep ruby colour with aromatic notes on nose with berry flavours with hints of chassis and tobacco on palate well balanced although still some acidity as under screw cap but sure to develop and mellow further.
An excellent example of Margaret River Bordeaux blending.

Moscato d'Asti 2023

Fines bulles frisantes pas un léger gaz carbonique, jaune paille, reflets verts. Une salade de fruits au nez, litchi, pêche, fruits exotiques. Une bouche piquante par le résiduel de gaz carbonique. La finale est sucrée. Il doit être bu très froid car en se réchauffant le sucre prend le dessus ce qui agresse et rend ce vin d'apéro et de terrasse perdre tout son charme. — 2 years ago

Château Cap de Mourlin

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Very classically styled Bordeaux for 26$ from the San Diego wine company bought last week. Quite a deal!!!! Cigar box, chassis, blueberry. Tons of tannins left! But i would just decant and drink this now. — a year ago

Château Beauregard

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

2018 vintage. Rich, seductive nose. Supple medium-heavy chassis. Youthful but fairly showy with sumptuous baby fat, blue fruit and lavender/dill comprising the final act. Would love to taste this again in 7–10 years. — 4 years ago
