Fechando a semana com um belo Bordeaux com seus 11 aninhos… 🤩 Este é o “ @Chateau_Laroque 2011”, um Grand Cru Classé de Saint Emilion (margem direita de Bordeaux 🇫🇷) elaborado majoritariamente com a uva Merlot, complementada por Cabernet Franc e Cabernet Sauvignon. O vinho passa 18 meses maturando em barricas. 🍷 Na taça, cor granada de média intensidade. Após 1h no decanter, aromas de pouca intensidade mostrando frutas vermelhas maduras, chocolate, tabaco, couro e tostado. Na boca tem corpo médio, acidez moderada e taninos médios e macios. Média persistência. 📝 Belo vinho: equilibrado, elegante e com boa complexidade. Mas não acho que tenha estrutura para muito mais… Beber já. 91 pontos. . #bordeaux #grandcruclasse #saintemilion #decanter https://www.instagram.com/p/CgDHBjapJTG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
This 2010 vintage was one of the freshest Rauzan Segla I’ve ever tasted. Very full bodied, rich and full of berry fruits! Drinking it 10 years on was a perfect call! I’d recommend drinking 2021-2030 with great storage!

2008 Château Larcis Ducasse is really good. At age 11, this is my first check-in with this #wine and it is still shockingly young. All blackberry and black currant with some tobacco and coffee on the finish. Quite tannic, so it needs a lot of air before it really opens up. It is always difficult to guess how long it will take for a wine to reach maturity, but I am confident that with good storage, this won't be drinking at peak until at least 2028 to 2033. #vin #redwine #vinrouge #winesofinstagram #winesofinsta #france #bordeaux #rightbank #rivedroute #merlot #cabernetfranc #libourne #saintemilion #stemilion #larcisducasse #chateaularcisducasse #grandcruclasse #2008 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bws4FvFn717/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eponq9c37efy

Haut-Brion 2020… I was absolutely charmed by 2020 La Mission Haut-Brion and very impressed by 2020 Château Haut-Brion when I tasted them en Primeurs. . Today i am charmed AND impressed by 2020 Château Haut-Brion. One of the best 2020 AND one of the best Haut-Brion ever made. 100/100. Congrats ! . #wine #winelover #hautbrion #pessacleognan #grandcruclasse #somm #sommelier #winecritic #xlvinsfr (à Bordeaux, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnxUpx2rL4u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
2000 Château Pontet-Canet has a distinctly grilled toast, vanilla and espresso note on the nose. That exact nose carries through to the palate. Thankfully, the palate delivers some really pretty black currant and black cherry with amazing freshness. Overall, this is still a nice wine, but despite the ample fruit and acidity, the oak was too heavy and has not resolved. And I don't think it ever will. This was my last bottle and I could argue that drinking it sooner may have been advisable. #wine #winesofinstagram #vin #redwine #vinrouge #france #bordeaux #leftbank #rivegauche #pauillac #2000 #medoc #pontet-canet #chateaupontetcanet #grandcruclasse #tesseron https://www.instagram.com/p/BqD-Ps2noCJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19lu4h9w0auij
