Château Loubens
Sainte-Croix-du-Mont Sémillon
Sainte-Croix-du-Mont, Entre-Deux-Mers, Bordeaux, France
Finally hit the jackpot! Third and fourth bottles with clan 11/30/19 as gathering breaks off with half leaving. What a perfect match to real fois gras from Wilson. Everyone agrees and some found out belatedly a little goes a long way. Four more to go and also found another 75 Sauternes. Rated with leftover second bottle and yes each bottle different. Third bottle least oxidized and complex and in balance.

Nov 30th, 2019Second bottle from Acker stash and slightly better shape for cork and lead seal. Golden amber color and that old wine sherry nose but not as prominent as first bottle which was just over the edge though it blew off after day 1. Not a wine for sipping but certainly went well with Mousse Truffee from Wegmans.
