Château Langlais Bordeaux Supérieur 1988

Still shows a dark color with brownish rim. The nose is clearly on evolutive notes such as dry leaves, tobacco, earth with some alcohol. More expressive on the palate, this wine pairs a good acididy with some back bone and a long lasting finish. Of course the aromas are also on the registry of evolved ones, but that’s exactly what’s charming about this wine, that with the opportunity to open a bottle of mature wine without having to broke. Good+ (88)

Blend of Merlot and Cabernet. Alcohol level of 12,5% 

Available through private import for around 33,00$ with Agence Boires:

Bernhard & Reibel Crémant d’Alsace 2013

Light gold color with good size bubbles, not too intense, lively in the glass even if they’re not lasting too long on the palate. Nose of toasted bread, pastry cream, apples, some yeast and hay. Really tasty and somehow concentrated, very long finish. Flavors of toasted bread covered with honey, orange and nectarines. There is acididy in this wine, some bitterness and salty notes. Was impressed with the complexity of this Crémant. This was not the last time I’m having this! Very good+ (90)

Quinta do Pôpa Contos da Terra Douro 2015 

Medium ruby with purple hue color. Nose of mixed berries with smoke, flowers, leather and meat aromas, very typical of this range of wines from Portugal, which I like! The wine shows some strenght but is not bitter nor rough since there is qualitative fruit flavors paired with spicy and leather notes, then ends in a silky finish. This is some rocking juice for its price! Good+ (88)

Lightly colored. Shy nose where some salty, lemon and hay notes did showed up in a very fresh way. More expressive on the palate with lemon zest flavors paired with a round and almost fat mouthfeel, then the acidity came on the finish on salty and mineral notes. Great wine from Québec! Very good (89)

Clos du Moulin Bergerac 2012

Medium garnet color. Nose of wild berries, plum, spices and smoke. Silky on the palate, the wine show more grip on the finish with spices and some green notes. Tasty but not heavy at all, this will pair from meat dishes in sauce to grilled food. Certified organic too! This is a very good buy. Good+ (88)

Hobo Wine Company Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley Sonoma 2013

Dark cherry color. Nose of wild berries, spices and just a hint of old wood. So good and smooth on the palate, one could say it’s dense and chewy, but it drinks so well and feels like pure silk! This is a classy California wine made from a grape variety too often used in industrial wines. Liked it a lot and this is probably my favorite Zinfandel wine other than the top wines from Ridge Vineyards, my personal refrence for that type of wine. Excellent (91)

Made of 92 % Zinfandel, 5 % Petite Sirah, 3 % Carignan, Chesselas, and Riesling. Aged in used French and American oak barrels. Alcohol level of 13,8%
