I visited St Émilion without knowing the main varietals

So I visited St Émilion last week. I had tried quite a few before, but for whatever reason I never realized how much the appellation is based off of Merlot.

Drink now, or let it age?

Picked up a bottle of DT Bandol finally. Very keen to drink this summer but would it be a shame to not let it age a couple years? Thanks in advance by SouthTry7556

Enjoyed at a restaurant in Chassagne-Montrachet

It is always a treat to choose from wine lists in Burgundy. I spotted this one and broke my role of drinking a wine produced in the same village given the excellent vintage and excellent price. It was very fun to try a Dujac blanc which showed well ​ More subtle on the nose but [...]

Quite a collection.

I had a bottle of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape and it was amazing. Dark ruby and such a perfect balance of fruit and alcohol. Strong cherry, berry and some dark chocolate. Decanted serve. by A-B-1-0

New school burgundy

22 Maison Glandien L’Origine ‘La Terre’ Classic popcorn nose, hints of lightly toasted white sesame, dandelion greens. Slightly reductive but in a very interesting way. White peach and spearmint on the palate. This is my first time trying this cuvée.. what an insane wine. This wine is mostly Aligote with a little bit of Chardonnay [...]

1997 Chateau Montelena

This is why I love the 97 Napa vintage. At first the bottle was super quiet. Nose was muted, not giving much, and I honestly thought maybe it was going to be one of those “good but tired” bottles. Then about an hour in, boom. It woke up big time. Nose started throwing cassis, dark [...]
