Chateau Bertineau Saint-Vincent Lalande de Pomerol 2016:
Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Château Bertineau Saint-Vincent rolls effortlessly out of the glass with notes of baked plums, Black Forest cake and mulberries plus hints of licorice and fertile loam. Medium-bodied, the palate has a pleasant savory character and pleasantly chewy tannins with a refreshing lift to the finish.
Chateau Rolland Maillet Saint-Emilion 2017:
A deep ruby color with a garnet rim. The nose is intense and clean, with fresh red fruit aromas, spicy touches of cedar, cocoa and toasted almond notes. On the palate the attack is sharp, the wine is full bodied and deep and the tannins are fine and soft in texture, the finish is long.
