Château Tronquoy Lalande - 2010 - Saint Estèphe
Château Tronquoy Lalande - 2010 - Saint Estèphe tasted 100% blind by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
Inky Dark Fruit, Black Pepper, Hint of Vanilla
High colour intensity here, dark ruby-red, still with a quite black inky core. The nose is quite intense. It suggest some evolution. With notes of almost balsamic, with some hints of fresh mint, with leather, inky dark fruit, black plum, cassis and a slight hint of smokiness, dash of oakiness. Very dense structure on the palate. High ripeness here, with inky dark fruit. At the same time a very fresh level of acidity. I would say moderate tannin, quite polished already. So very much an expression of that bold, opulent ripe fruit on the palate. Fine level of spiciness as well. The fruit is layered with black pepper and mint. Good integration of oak on the palate as well. Just a hint of vanilla on the finish. Speaking of the finish, really long. Long and lingering finish. Still a bit massive and tight. There is nothing hard or harsh. It just needs some time to open up and it should continue to gain nuance and harmony over many years.

Château Tronquoy Lalande - 2011 - Saint Estèphe
Château Tronquoy Lalande - 2011 - Saint Estèphe tasted 100% blind by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
Dark Fruit, Anise Seed, Fresh Acidity
Dark and inky core, still very youthful and dense colour, but a slightly lighter rim. Quite intense nose. Still on the youthful side with dark, inky fruit. Black plum, dark cherry, cassis, a slight hint of leather and some liquorice and anise seed in terms of spiciness. Palate is very dense. Plenty of weight and plenty of extract. Still appearing a bit youthful on the palate, with young and vigorous tannin. Fresh acidity and layers of juicy and dark fruit. Fine spiciness on the palate, with those hints of anise seed, some clove. Quite laid back oak. Rather long finish, still a bit tight on the aftertaste but it should doubtlessly have the potential to develop more complexity and softness with age.

Château Tronquoy Lalande - 2013 - Saint Estèphe
Château Tronquoy Lalande - 2013 - Saint Estèphe tasted 100% blind by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
Bright Acidity, Elegant Dark Fruit, Tobacco Leaf
Youthful colour with a purple hue, moderate intensity. Pure nose. With a lot of fresh fruity aromas. Notably blackcurrant, plum, with some herbal spiciness, sage, a hint of mint. Fine oak. Quite discreet but a fine toastiness in the background and a mild spiciness. Medium weight on the palate, but a quite dense core of dark fruit. Tannin feel already feels quite well-integrated. Not a huge amount of tannin. Bright and fresh acidity. Elegant dark fruit. Quite classic structure there with bright acidity, some hints of tobacco leaf and a medium towards long finish. Fine integration of oak. A wine that should be open and accessible in its early life.

Château Montrose - 2011 - Saint Estèphe 2nd Grand Cru Classé
Château Montrose - 2011 - Saint Estèphe 2nd Grand Cru Classé tasted 100% blind by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
Dark Plum, Sage, Roasted Flavours
Very dense and inky colour, impenetrable core. Dark ruby towards the rim. Still quite youthful on the nose. Mostly fruity expression of ripe dark fruits, black currants, plum, quite high ripeness of fruit there. Some sweet fruit character, almost with a hint of confiture. Quite elegant oak, gently roasted with some cedar wood, tobacco. Very powerful on the palate, really dense and vigorous with plenty of extract. That is still on the youthful side, but I would say ripe tannin. Rounded extract, just quite a lot of it. Same thing goes for the fruit. Intense fruitiness, with dark plum, cassis flavours, layered with a slightly aromatic spiciness in the direction of sage and mint. Oak feels integrated. Some gentle roasted flavours on the palate as well. Really mouth-filling and broad. Long and lingering finish. Still very dense and very youthful and tight. Doubtlessly a wine that should have very big potential for further development.

Cassis, Tobacco Leaf, Fine Oak
Very youthful colour here, bright with a purple hue, quite deep intensity. Fine nose here. Good purity. It exudes quite high ripeness with black currant, plum, dark cherry. Good purity here. There is a hint of minerality. Some floral notes of violet. Quite discreet but still presence of roasted oak. Good bite on the palate. Very dense structure here. Really with a wealth of fresh dark fruit. Beautiful flavours of cassis, with tobacco leaf, hint of leather. Stylish with really fine oak. Texture is already, I would say, quite polished. Finely grained tannin, giving a good lift. Long and vigorous finish as well. Really juicy and attractive. Nice modern style, yet with a good purity and notion of terroir. Fine minerality. Really fine potential here.

Сотерн (Sauternes)
Всем знаком отвратительный серый пушок, который поедает клубнику прямо на грядке. Это грибок Botrytis cinerea, в России его называют Серая гниль.
Во Франции, Вергрии и Германии грибок Botrytis зовётся благородной гнилью потому, что благодаря ему получаются великие вина.
Сотерн рождается на виноградниках Бордо, Между двумя реками: Гаронной и Сирон.
Вначале осени, благодаря чередованию холодного утреннего тумана и жаркого дневного солнца, на ягодах появляется грибок Botrytis cinerea.
ДЕНИ ДЮБУРДЬЁ, профессор Академии вина Бордо (Франция): «Когда Botrytis попадает на спелый белый виноград, он размножается внутри клетки, под кожурой, и в этом случае кожица оказывается как бы пораженной грибом. Кожица, потеряв свою герметичность, не сохраняет более влагу, вода испаряется, ягода винограда становится морщинистой. Постепенно виноград увядает, но содержимое ягоды становится концентрированным».
Вино из такого винограда получается просто волшебным, бархатисто-сладким, с тонами цветов, фруктов и засахаренных орехов. Самый знаменитый из сотернов — легендарное вино Шато д'Икем — едва ли не самое дорогое вино в мире, и сделала его таким плесень...

Blackcurrant, Plum, Elegant Spiciness
Youthful appearance with a slight purple hue, medium towards deep ruby-red. Very fine nose, there is good depth. Quite multi-layered here, with inky dark fruit, blackberry, cassis, ripe herbs like sage with dark plum and elegant toastiness in the background. Fine tobacco, rather like a Cuban cigar. Also with a good purity and a slight hint of minerality. Good bite on the palate. Fine density of fruit. This is really medium towards full weight, but really with an emphasis on fruit. I think the extract is quite soft and subtle already. So not a lot of tannin. Bright and fresh acidity. Very elegant fruit flavours, with notably blackcurrant and plum. Elegant spiciness. A long, lingering finish. A good sensation of purity on the finish. A slight touch of minerality and a very discreet smokiness. A very fine wine that is already accessible I would say. It should obviously go on for a long time, but it should drink well pretty early on.

2007 Chateau La Confession
Mike Supple from JJ Buckley Fine Wines tastes the 2007 Chateau La Confession barrel sample
Château Coutet is excellent Barsac in 2010
Made from an early harvest that locked in energy and vivacity from the acidity with plenty of richness and spice from the development of noble rot, the Château Coutet in Barsac is a fine example of the success of the 2010 vintage in the sweet wine category of Sauternes and Barsac of Bordeaux
Chateau Latour Martillac Blanc 2013 Pessac Leognan AOC
Annata ostica per i rossi la 2013 ma ben adatta a grandi bianchi come dimostra questo degno figlio delle graves bordolesi. Naso citrino con note amplissime di essenze mediterranee, bosso, anice, salvia, tralcio di pomodoro, lieve fumè e pepe bianco, bocca con pompelmo, arancio giallo, frutto vibrante e grande sapidità che insieme all'acidità citrina equilibria un sorso denso e ricco. Ancora in evoluzione ma già godibilissimo.
