Château Boutisse
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
2020 vintage. Now promoted to Grand Cru Classé in the 2022 classification but based on this bottle I fail to understand why. Chemical nose, drying finish. And sadly another Diam cork. Too bad, as their is good fruit concentration.

2009 vintage, Grand Cru Vineyard$45 a BOTTLE!! Stupid good @ a ridiculous price. Silky, earthy, creamy texture... The nose is complex & wonderfully intoxicating... Hint of a hole in the mid palate but who cares?

Delicious nose of orange peel (!) oak flavours and red fruits; high acids and tannins, youthful and oak- and tannin-dominated finish.

Apr 18th, 2016Yes, another baby but I need to know the baseline! Medium-dark ruby with purple hues and light viscosity; the nose is powerful, stunk up the whole room, in a good way, and included blue fruits like plum, spice, some light horse-stable and oak aromas, and my favorite "bathhouse-chlorine mineral scent"; lots of mediums on the palate including for body, tannins, intensity, and length, but the overall impression is that it is a good but not great wine and not worth the 199 SEK (ca 25 USD) I paid. I also don't think it will evolve into greatness because of the lack of fruit and tannin.
