R. Lopez Cosecha 1973
R. Lopez Cosecha 1973
English It’s always interesting to drink a wine that was produced long before you were born. But of course it’s better when it tastes good as well. Admittedly, I have never been a fan of R. Lopez.

Chateau D'agassac 2008
Chateau D’agassac 2008
Interesting Cru Bourgeois. I googled the composition of the cuvée as the wine didn’t taste like the typical Cru Bourgeois. Usually, on the left bank you’ll find blends that have more Cabernet Sauvignon than Merlot, but in this case, it’s a 50% Merlot and 47 % CS + 3 % CS. So instead of stronger, younger tannins and a focus on elegance, this Cru Bourgeois was Way more powerful on the…

Points: 93-94 / 100Drink: now – 2027 I am highly surprised about this bottle. My experience so far with 2000s Bordeaux…
