Holding out on this one for a special occasion. 91 spectator rating. Spicy on the nose and palate. Dry with hints of dark berries. Pairs well with chocolate and cured provisions #SundayWineDown #DrinkFrance #CauseMyNameWasFrance — 9 years ago
Cotes de Provence 2013; Minuty Prestige; guess this means the best grapes used; 12.5%; little detail available on variety; presume grenache or syrah or cinsaut or merlot or a blend; from Gassin near Saint Tropez #cotesdeprovence #drinkfrance — 10 years ago
Another Trader Joe's find perfect for al fresco dining. Florals the nose and subtle cherries on the palate. #SundayWineDown #DrinkFrance — 9 years ago
Maturing Margaux commune red blend: second wine of Chanel-owned Chateau Rauzan-Segla quaintly called Segla (well you know where it comes from); a stern and leafy merlot mix which would pass for cabernet anyway; out of a 10/10 year, recently re-rated as superior for the decade of maturing Bordeaux; luscious but drying, minty but leaflike, low oak but cedary, 13%, AUD 150 for magnum; drink now, will never soften any more with the chewy tannins (result of declassification); #drinkfrance #drinkbordeaux #bordeaux #leftbank #médoc #margaux #rauzansegla #merlot #cabernetsauvignon #bordeauxblend #second #2005 #magnum — 9 years ago
Young Bonneau du Martray; just linear, oak though a big presence is layered, nose awfully restrained and fruit basically hidden until it evolves some more; try in a decade maybe two; so slight but so tight; acid tucked behind the wood too; an evolution to happen; great Corton; an even better site when I drove past this vineyard in May this year; #drinkFrance #drinkburgundy #côtedor #cortoncharlemagne #corton #bonneaudumartray #grandcru #domaine #2009 #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours #France2016 — 9 years ago
