Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

2022 vintage. Another good effort from this Pauillac that was an underachiever for many years,but it is definitely not in the same league as the excellent 2020. Good concentration, and ripe, slightly jammy fruit. While the oak is perfectly integrated, it is too toasted for my taste. If you like that, you will score this higher. Abv. 14,5%. Totally blown away by the extraordinary Gloria 2022 tasted alongside.

Vintage 2016 | cardinalred rim, laurel, eucalyptus, cassis, good balance, imo in the drinking window

Plenty of fruit left, earthy, classic minerl in a good way - this is a great wine for this supposedly bad vintage in Bordeaux

Decent but sediment needs to be strained, insane amount!

Great Pauillac.

Black fruit, long finish

Beau vin dans le millésime 2012 du fruit des tanins qui doivent se patiner, une belle bouteille dans 3-4 ans!

Dans le style du millésime un boisé un peu lacté pas encore totalement fondu. Beaucoup de fraîcheur menthe et eucalyptus. Attendre encore 2 à 3 ans avant de commencer à les déguster.

I was born the year these grapes were harvested. Case was discovered in the basement of friends uncle. The initial hit on the pallet was pleasant and intriguing. A little smoky. Had low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. It held up well for an hour.

This was a bottle lost in my cellar. Stored in a field stone cellar for about 31 years! The cork was great and came out whole- no problem. Drank over an hour and never lost its fruit. Totally in harmony just sweet cherry fruit with still good length. One of those great surprises. Had it with a spicy preparation of hanger steak and enjoyed it with my Love PJ. Great dinner
