Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

[En Magnum] Lovely, fresh, crisp, old school Bordeaux from the family who were the cellar masters of Chateau Palmer back during this time frame, 12% ABV, perfumed, violets, soft, plummy fruit, great acidity, longish finish, this wine is about subtlety, not power, excellent!! — a day ago

@Tom Casagrande, Claude Kolm (a lawyer/now retired(?) used to write/distribute “The Fine Wine Review” — he also still publishes on Substack, I believe he and his wife now (mostly?) live in Paris, and I think you can follow his excellent Paris reviews (free??). . . . Anyway, when I first subscribed to his wine newsletter back in the mid-1990s, he occasionally wrote about this producer, raving about the high quality/fine QPR of their wines, but OF COURSE the wines were only available in Europe, no U.S. importer. But, being the crazy dude I am (surprised?? 🤷), I found a shop selling the wines “in bond” in Edinburgh, Scotland!!?? (Yep) Then, I knew someone importing wines, in the early 2000s they used to be able to fill up a reefer with up to 5 cases of “samples”, which is how this wine got to me (there was also a shipment from Edinburgh, together with payment of taxes, to a producer in southern France, who added these samples to the reefer). Bottom line, I was able to bring in 5 cases, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998 and 1999, the 1994/1998/1999 were magnums, while 1995/1996 were fifths. Likely a once in a lifetime thing, but love these wines!!

@Doug Powers - Now THAT is determination! Seems like a large work project just to get it! What does “in bond” mean? Decanter uses that term all the time and it always puzzles me.

@Tom Casagrande, “en bond” or in bond simply means the wine BEFORE VAT and any other taxes are imposed. Technically, the shop cannot release any so purchased wines unless and until they collect these taxes. Makes total sense for futures.

Ménage a Trois Sparkling Prosecco

Great surprise! I really would say that the worst wine from Menage a Trois is excellent!

A great prosecco with fruity roots and little bubbles. It is refreshing especially for a Caribbean area where I am.

Cuvée de Trois Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2017

Floral nose, with complex palate. Slightly tart, with ripe tart cherries. While light, it has a more full mouth feel than expected. Quite nice! You won't find a Pinot like this anywhere else! Score 1 for the Russian River Valley! — 4 years ago

Château Les Trois Croix

Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

The 2015 BDX continue to amaze and this Fronsac fits the bill. No decanting necessary. Jumping out of the bottle with beautiful red fruit and cassis notes, silky, and nicely balanced and integrated tannins, at such a young age, I am amazed. Feels like drinking a Grand Cru from a slightly lesser vintage. Great value too. If I can find it, I’ll buy a case. Hopefully two. — 6 years ago
