Perfect :) More to come, thanks for your kind note 🥂🥂😉😉
Great videos you make! Thank you for your work, and for being so knowledgeable! I truly enjoy watching it!
Love your comparisons of wine to sports.
Thank you!
Excellent :) I wasn't 100% sure it would work and be understood, glad to hear it did :) Cheers 🍷🍷😊😊
Completely agree, Cos is to die for! Just bought the Phelan Segur 2020 today which is drinkable already apparently
Love this review!
Great insights, appreciate your thoughts and comparisons! I too love St Estephe wines. I find the rustic and intense structure more interesting than most Pauillac that tend to be very enjoyable but almost too balanced for me, even Grand Puy Lacoste. I like Phelan Segur a lot, and Ormes de Pez and La Dame Montrose are solid and quite reasonably priced. Giscours in Margaux might be my favorite left bank with its beautiful and intense fruit and savory oak finish.
I've heard Lynch Bages and Calon Segur are two of the more intense and concentrated BDXs I need to try. What do you think of these two, given the big jump in price? Any other left banks you would recommend?
hi there, excellent, I see that you are a Bordeaux wine connoisseur! Good to read. re Lynch Bages and Calon Segur, you get a little more concentration, and more consistency in vintages, and more age-worthiness, but given most of us don't necessarily cellar our vinos for 20 years or more, it's not always justify to invest more on that, while most vintages are quite good lately. Just avoid bad vintages for you more affordable wines and you'll be fine.
I agree with all you said. Used to work with Giscours, and one of my favs especially at a competitive pricing for Margaux. Chateau du Tertre also in Margaux, same owner as Giscours and it's good too. Are you familiar with Chateau La Louviere in Pessac Leognan? I quite like CHateau Talbot in Saint Julien too. Chateau Pedesclaux in Pauillac is pretty consistent and good value now, made a winery tour video a while ago if that's of interest to you here czcams.com/video/A2T7FgYQuV8/video.html
Hope this helps :) Cheers!
@CZcamsJulien thanks so much for the detailed reply! I've added Louviere to my list and bumped up Talbot and Pedesclaux that I've wanted to try for awhile. Appreciate your thoughts and reminder to focus on value, especially with so much buzz about 2022 and even 2023 seems better than expected
Lots of Value left bank in St Estephe Capbern, Marquis de Calon Segur, Phelan Segur...Meyney
