TN - I have a Confession

by Bill Spohn » Sat May 16, 2026 5:13 pm

2001 Château La Confession - this grand cru St. Emilion opened up nicely with some air and it seemed quite mature. now and a pleasant tipple - in a good place and should be drunk soon. I decanted it at home and put it back in the bottle to take to a restaurant;

2015 Château de Cruzeau - this Graves showed more and more youthful fruit of course, but it is a lighter weight wine and while very nice at this stage, I think it will start to slowly decline over the next 5-10 years.

1998 Château Berliquet - this St. Emilion, showed best of all (though I had it a day later than the other two). Red berry fruit a fairly dark colour and soft tannins backed with forward fruit. Very pleasant now though I wouldn't hold it long as I doubt that it will improve from here.
