Bordeaux week rolls on! Another oldie, very different than the Ch. Latour (Monday's post) with which it was drunk. A little weightier, a little meatier, but not as silky, as unctuous or as classic, in a lot of ways. It still showed great and again showed how Bordeaux seems to age so effortlessly.

Hopefully, I can track down a bottle. I have enjoyed their occasionally released sweet Vendange de la Saint Charles a couple times.

This is definitely the first time I've heard Cabernet Sauvignon described as esoteric!

I recall you had promised this update and it is timely. Wines of the Haute-Loire are getting more attention from quality-minded buyers; this trend may be favored by climate threats as many H-L vines grow at higher altitudes and in mixed-agri-zones (crops/forest/vines).

So so human being

Hello Dr. Kissack. I tried to contact you via your website, but it doesn't work for some reason. Greetings from Sweden.
