Terrible

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2013

This was a very fun experiment. I bought this for 149€ due to the 2013 vintage being terrible. Would this be a waste of money or a bargin? It was a bargin. Classic high end Bordeaux nose with complexity and flavour. Lots of mint. Tailed off quite quickly but still so much to enjoy. The art of wine making should shine through on "off" years as all of the producers make excellent wines in a 09 or 10 vintage. Will definately buy more!

Great producers make great wines and often the most challenging vintages pull out their best

Old reliable does it again after a terrible day. Ripe and juicy with wonderful energy and black fruits. Too lazy for more notes. I’m drinking tonight! — 2 years ago

@Jay Kline thanks man. One of those Mondays where it was one thing after the other.

Domaine Saint Andrieu

Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2021

Beach me up vibes all day baby. Smells like white peaches and clear skies and seashells. Zings on the tongue and you need that warming zing if like me you are gonna dip into the Pacific (soon I hope anyway I love the sea). The palate is chilled melon, gushing wet stone, and some sort of flower whose name I’ll never remember.
It’s terrible, I can name 7 synonyms for Tempranillo, but when it come to the rest of all botanica I can’t get it together.
Anyway. This finishes a with a hit of grapefruit flavor so from stone fruits to melon to citrus it runs the fruit gamut.
Gushing wet stone is the through-line. I don’t know if it has a dramatic arc but I don’t think it needs it.

This is everything young Northern Rhône should be - savory but no lack of fruit; feral but not acerbic; meaty, rich and dense but light on its feet; tannic but not drying or underripe. Drinking beautifully at the moment. Not a trace of oak. If you don’t like this, we’re not gonna be friends and you are probably a terrible person. — 6 years ago
