Clos L'Eglise, Pomerol 2018

Tasting Notes:

The aromas to this are phenomenal with oyster shell, blackberries, iodine and black truffles. Full-bodied, layered and so refined and intense. Love the texture and intensity. Chalky. Amazing. Goes on for minutes. 

Tasting notes : 

Full-bodied, rich, creamy and layered, with velvety but focused tannins; flavors of ripe plum, dark cherry, licorice, truffle, chocolate‑mocha, pepper, and fine oak; elegant tension and freshness with a long finish.

Food pairing : 

Roast or grilled meats (beef, venison, duck, lamb).

Tasting Notes:

The nose is the product of finesse and elegance. The intense aromas of ripe fruit, with hints of liquorice and pepper. The mouth has an ample and precise attack. The tannins are creamy, and dense. The palate detects flavours of blackberries and bilberries. The wine has a long and delicate finish, with subtle hints of chocolate.

Pairing:

hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms and pasta.

Tasting notes : 

Rich and seductive with plush, rounded tannins and seamless freshness. Flavors of crème de cassis, graphite, white flowers, cedar herbs, and tobacco lead to a long, opulent finish.

Food pairing : 

Pairs well with Grilled or roasted red meats such as beef and lamb.

Tasting Notes:

The plum, boysenberry and raspberry fruit is very aromatic. Picking up subtle anise, alder and tobacco notes slowly but steadily through the finish. A graphite edge is buried deep.

Pairing:

Braised Lamb Shank, Eggplant Parmigiana, Cured Meat

Tasting Notes:

The 2016 Le Carillon d'Angelus, which represents a higher percentage of the total production this year, has a tightly wound blackberry and briary-scented bouquet with admirable delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, harmonious and rounded in style with just the right amount of salinity on the finish to beckon you back for another sip. This is a lovely Deuxième Vin built to give pleasure.

Pairing:

Braised Lamb Shank, Eggplant Parmigiana, Cured Meat

Tasting Notes:

Château Calon-Ségur is an estate located in the commune of Saint-Estèphe on the left bank of the Gironde River in Bordeaux, which was rated as a third growth in the 1855 Classification of the Medoc and Graves. The château is unique in the Medoc as the vineyards are in one single plot surrounded by tall stone walls. The rich, supple textures that are often the signature of the vintage are peeking through. The fruits are ripe, the tannins are polished and the Nose is already adding a bit of secondary nuance.

Pairing:

Beef, Grilled dishes, Poultry

Tasting notes : 

Medium to full-bodied with polished tannins and vibrant freshness. Flavors of cassis, blackberry, stone fruits, dark chocolate, and spice. The finish is long, pure, and mineral-tinged.

Food pairing : 

Grilled red meats, game, rich poultry, mushroom dishes, aged cheese.
