Château Le Thil, Comte Clary 2020
Château Le Thil is one of those under-the-radar Bordeaux gems that really makes you sit up and take notice. Nestled in the heart of Pessac-Léognan, just down the road from the legendary Smith Haut Lafitte (in fact, it shares the same ownership), Le Thil combines pedigree with serious value. The vintage was kind to this corner of Bordeaux, and it shows in the glass. You get all the classic hallmarks—dark, juicy fruit, subtle spice, and a lovely thread of minerality—wrapped up in a sleek, finely balanced frame. There’s freshness, precision, and just enough grip to hint at how well this will age. A wine that punches well above its weight and overdelivers for the price. For our Club Members looking for a savvy Left Bank buy with real class, this is a bottle to stock up on before the word gets out.
Clos de Gat Har'El Syrah 2023
Clos de Gat Syrah is an elegant and expressive red wine from the foothills of the Judean Mountains, crafted to showcase the historic vineyards and unique terroir of the region while maintaining freshness and balance. Sourced from estate-grown vineyards planted on thin topsoil over limestone bedrock, it combines traditional winemaking with natural fermentation to produce a layered, complex wine with depth and finesse. Vineyards The grapes come from forty-seven acres (19 hectares) of vineyards overlooking the biblical Ayalon Valley. Hand-picked and rigorously sorted, they benefit from a unique micro-climate that promotes full ripening and concentration, while relying on the vineyard’s natural yeasts for fermentation enhances complexity and expression of the estate’s terroir. Winemaking After crushing, the grapes are transferred to open fermentation tanks. The wine is aged for sixteen months in French oak barrels, 30% of which are new, with racking every four to six months. The final blend is bottled unfiltered, preserving the wine’s richness, depth, and natural character. Tasting Notes Clos de Gat displays a deep, dense purple colour. The nose is intense and complex, with discreet oak influence, warm peppery notes, and aromas of red fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied, well-balanced, and spicily fresh, with vibrant acidity and integrated tannins. The finish is long, lively, and elegant, highlighting the wine’s structure and finesse. Food Pairing Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted game, or rich Mediterranean dishes. Grape Syrah
