2024 Bordeaux En Primeur - Grace Under Pressure

1 week ago | jebdunnuck.com | Jeb Dunnuck

A difficult year defined by heavy rain, mildew pressure, and uneven ripening, 2024 is a challenging vintage that produced charming, mid-weight, forward, moderately concentrated wines. Quality is broadly in line with 2021, yet the wines show more openness and suppleness, with fine tannins and soft, easy-going textures.

While there might be cities that never sleep, most wine regions do, in the off-season, between harvests. The exceptions are the Santa Lucia Highlands and its neighbors on the other side, along the Gabilan Mountains and Chalone, which look across from one another over the Salinas Valley.

While this report is primarily focused on the 2022 vintage from the Bolgheri DOC and the 2021 Superiore Category, I’ve expanded it to include other wineries within the larger Tuscan Coast. To name just a few highlights outside of Bolgheri, I encourage readers to explore the wines of Tua Rita...…
New Releases From Chateau Latour

2 months ago | jebdunnuck.com | Jeb Dunnuck

During my visit to taste the 2022s from bottle, I had the chance to revisit Château Latour’s upcoming releases. Since 2012, the estate has opted out of the En Primeur system, choosing instead to release its wines when they believe they’re truly ready. This latest release includes the 2020 Pauillac, the 2019 Forts de Latour, and the 2016 Grand Vin Château Latour.
Up From The Cellar 26

2 months ago | jebdunnuck.com | Jeb Dunnuck

This latest Up From The Cellar (which we affectionately call UFTC around here) is packed with some seriously good mature Bordeaux, including a 1982 Château La Mission Haut-Brion, a 1955 La Conseillante, an 1986 Haut-Brion, a 1989 Château Montrose, and plenty more. The 1982 La Mission Haut-Brion, which I had at Bern’s Steakhouse in Tampa, has to be one of the best wines I’ve ever had. If I had to pick a last bottle, this one would be way up there.
