Bordeaux - Red Wine

BORD'EAUX DU CLOS DES MOISELLE

193169    (XD)  750 mL

$15  per btl    $45  per 3-btl. lot   

RP: 87-88      

TASTING NOTE:  No doubt Bordeaux needs more wines like this, emphasizing ripe, fleshy fruit (in this case 100% Merlot from relatively modest yields for this price point of 55 hectoliters per hectare). More powerful and chunkier than usual (13% natural alcohol), this totally tank-fermented and aged wine is designed to give immediate pleasure, and this looks to be the best they have made. (Tasted once.) Score: 87-88 (RP)

 

TIRE PÉ LA CÔTE

191247    (XD)  750 mL

$19  per btl    $57  per 3-btl. lot   

RP: 88-90      

TASTING NOTE:  One of my favorite low level Bordeaux, this exceptionally well made wine displays a dense purple color in addition to abundant blackberry and blueberry fruit intertwined with notions of licorice and incense. Fleshy, full-bodied, and ripe, this delicious Bordeaux coats the palate. It should drink beautifully for 3-4 years. (Tasted once.) Drink: 2010-2014. Score: 88-90 (RP)

195586    (XD)  750 mL
