With tonight's meal:
2020 Château du Tertre Belair
https://www.laithwaites.co.uk/images...t/1744720b.png
14% ABV
Tasting notes:
Ripe, rounded, velvety red fruits with good depth and length.
Aroma:
Pretty redcurrant and floral notes with a hint of cigar box.
Perhaps it’s the château’s location near St-Emilion that makes this claret so special. Or the know-how of owner Bruno Dellac. Or the quality of another great vintage. What’s beyond doubt is the wine’s sheer class, earthy richness and ripe fruit.
Bruno Dellac’s wines are no stranger to Gold medals, winning them for most vintages since 2010. His family estate lies in Castillon, on the Right Bank, near Saint-Emilion and the Côtes de Francs. Vines planted 30 years ago are now producing grapes of superb intensity, especially thanks to the cool calcaire soils (the same as you’ll find in much of Saint-Emilion). Good drainage makes vines struggle to find nutrients and the result is more mineral complexity and flavour in the Merlot-rich wine. And such is Bruno’s dedication to perfection that since 2010 he has turned over his vineyards to organic viticulture, now with certification. Silky red fruit with structure and freshness – open early to let it open out.
Old Perth Cask Strength.. 58.6 abv.. no colour or chill filtration either.

Finally got round to decanting this port.
Been stored for quite a few years but should be fine.
A mix of grapes..tinta barroca, touriga franca and tinta roriz..

They give you a wealth of information if you scan the QR code on the bottle, my bottle being number 552 of 25200, tasting notes , , details of the barley, mashing, fermentation, distillation and maturation, all very interesting for a whisky geek. I really enjoyed it, there is a touch of sweetness and I thought a little peat in the background, as its non chill filtered and no added colour , its quite a pale whisky, ticks a lot of boxes for me.
Very popular on the various online whisky sites, I don’t have a great sense of smell but wife does but doesn’t drink whisky, she thought there was a touch of freshly cut grass on the nose, i rely on my taste buds , I either like it or don’t , not a sherry bomb like the Glenallachie.
A Glendronach 12 tonight.
Good luck to the lads, they will need it
