Château La Couspaude
Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
This is right bank at its best ! Wet forest floor, mushrooms, oak, meat juice, earth, black currant, and almost a minty thing in the rear. Very complex. The palate is model of balance with good acid, a very soft, silky mouthfeel, some black currant and blackberry notes all along, some good width, some grippy tannins in the rear, that leave a tar-like impression over a long, fruity, meaty, umami finish that lasts for a very long while. This is great stuff.

May 11th, 2025Tar, cedar, earth, red currant, coffee, and a tiny touch of oak on the nose. This is very intense! The palate shows a bit of extraction, with a superb red currant nose along with a tiny coffee touch, a massive acid backbone putting some balance against the fruit and weight on the sides, a vivid mouthfeel that turns almost grainy in the rear, and a monster of a finish with that red currant note, this earthy, almost leathery thing that I always associate with Saint Emilion wines, that grain and a subtle bitterness that blossom in the end. I want all my Saint Emilion to taste like that going forward 😂
