Do not be jealous guys ! This is the occasion for me to tell you more about my favorites (because i taste eveything only for you !) Here is my TOP 3 :
- Château BEYCHEVELLE 2005 - Saint Julien
Absolutely amazing ! With sweet perfume of roasted herbs, black cherries and even blacker fruits, you know only with the nose that to taste, it is going to be awesome! The wine was medium to full-bodied with sweet and elegant tannins and a good acidity. Pure and long, this is a wine made on the fruit with a really fine spiciness and earthiness .. Wonderful !- Château BEYCHEVELLE 2009 - Saint Julien
I have to say that i am not a big of this appellation, but i think i found an example of MY Saint Julien with this estate. More woody but in an elegant way, i found caramel and soft and slightly perfumed red fruits. Tannins are also elegant and the present spiciness is a part of it even if it is a young wine. The finish is really fresh and convincing ! I loved it !
- Château CLIMENS 2004 - Barsac
Even if for appellations such as Barsac and Sauternes, odd numbers vintages are the best, i have to say that this wine was made for me ! I think that wines from those appellations are to rich in sugar for me, so this wine was perfect ! Fresh, with less sugar and aromas of honey, sweet bun and white flowers with a touch of really sweet caramel ... Miam ! Here is my Barsac wine !Interesting, isn't it ? But as you know, taste a wine is really personnal and the interpretation will be diferent depending of your past experience. This tasting was the occasion too to meet people and enjoy a good moment.
