Saint-Estéphe. Think the kid at school who always got
bullied. When they grew up they became people like Bill Gates, Quentin Bryce
and Tim Winton. Saint-Estéphe. The sub-region on the Left Bank that always
gets overlooked, but then, Schazamm!!! In your face Haut-Medoc and Paulliac.
Two days later.
The Château Bel Air Saint-Estéphe 2009 is
super sexy on day 1, getting spesh day 2 - just a wee sip though, and all
baby-got-back on day 3. Today. Baby-got-back indeed. The nose is all coco powder with a tinge of
pepper corn - think the big tree on Barrow Street in Brunswick if you are in
the area. More chocolate on the primary palate with achingly precise cassis and
cedar pushing through. Seriously, a great wine now and plenty down the track and a possible new club house leader
Bullies out there, suck on this!!!
