Margaux

Château La Gurgue, situated in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, has a rich history of producing wines that reflect the elegance and complexity characteristic of the region. The 1971 vintage, while overshadowed by the exceptional 1970, was considered very good, yielding wines that have aged gracefully over the decades. ​


Specific tasting notes for the 1971 Château La Gurgue are scarce, making it challenging to provide detailed insights into its current profile. However, given the general quality of the 1971 vintage in Bordeaux, it's plausible that well-preserved bottles may exhibit tertiary aromas such as leather, tobacco, and earthy notes, with softened tannins and a harmonious palate. …

Bekaar Valley, Lebanon, Gaston Hochar
Very top shoulder 73 cl bottle

A rare bottle of 1970 Chateau Musar.
Notes from Chateau Musar: Mistakenly, the most Bordeaux wine I ever made. This was unintentional. I was trying to reflect Lebanon in all its guises, all its
aspects. It had more Cabernet Sauvignon than any wine I’ve ever made, but this was when I could play as I wanted - there were no
rules to command me, so I just blended according to my palate – Serge Hochar

Tasting Notes
Dark shaded ruby; this is just the sort of colour I would expect from a 1970 red Bordeaux. Light, very Cabernet nose. If I were given
this blind I would be extremely tempted to head straight for Bordeaux, though it would have to be a comely château such as Palmer
perhaps, and a fairly ripe vintage. …

Real Companhia Velha Vintage Port

From the outstanding 1970 vintage. The colour is more tawny than red, and fairly light. It gives the distinct impression of a very old, very mature vintage Port.
The nose gives a strong impression of honey and is followed by sweet grapes and soft red fruits. Very slightly spirity, but not so much that it interferes. This all changes after 5 hours as the honey and fruits nearly vanish and the nose became spirity.
Palate: Very soft and elegant with a very faint smokey note. There's more "sweet" to it than anything else, but it's not a pure sugary sweetness but rather the remains of a sweet fruit compote. …
