Château Lamothe

Sauternes Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc 2014

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark golden in color.

Strong nose of apples, over ripen citrus fruit, light nuts, tropical fruits, honey, mangoes, light pineapples, minerals and spices.

Full-bodied and elegant with medium plus acidity.

Sweet on the palate with citrus, over ripened apples, melons, spices, honeysuckle, mangoes and dried fruits.

Long finish with apricots and honey notes.

This 12 year old sweet wine from Sauternes is absolutely fantastic.
Creamy and rich. Fruit forward and complex. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Elegant and extracted

I've had a few vintages of this Second Growth Sauternes, and this 2014 is beautiful. Not as rich as the 2019 vintage, but just as gorgeous.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years.

Wine Enthusiasts 95 points.

Good by itself as a dessert, and will pair nicely with blue cheese.

A blend of 90% Sémillon with Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle.

14% alcohol by volume.

94 points.

$40.

The oldest of a 4 bottle vertical I bought a few weeks ago. In a perfect window. Made a vodka sauce and wow. Great compliment. Fresh herbs after an hour of being open. Can’t wait to try the other 3 years. — a month ago

Domaine des Tourelles

Vallée de la Bekaa Red Blend 2020

Haven't tried a wine from Lebanon in a while. Wonderful aroma of dark red and black fruits. Tobacco. Cedar. Sour plum. Pretty cool 😎.
This 2020 is aging pretty well. Could go longer but drinking well now, a bit unctuous. Thick. Not a super structured or complex palette but it holds it's own with any Mediterranean lamb dish that you would pair it with. Very similar to Napa cabs but with a bit less finesse but with more interesting aromatics.

Château Lamothe Vincent

Réserve Saint-Vincent Bordeaux Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Vintage 2020 | if all generic Bordeaux was at this level, there was no problem wathsoever. Strict when popped and poured. But with a day (or two) for what is left in the bottle it’s so comforting and velvety. Paired with old sheep’s cheese. — 4 months ago
