You WON'T believe what we paid for this bottle!
Master Sommelier Carlos Santos discusses Bordeaux wines, specifically the first five growth wines, while tasting a bottle of 1988 La Mission Haut-Brion and talking about its history and classification.
They also touch on the concept of super second growth wines and second wines of famous Chรขteau's. Do we dare compare Bordeaux wines to Australian wines? Discuss the importance of their individual terroir. Plus they reveal the pricing of the 1989 La Mission Haut-Brion and the great deal they got at auction.
๐ Bordeaux wines, first growth, super second growth, second wines, terroir, pricing
Takeaways
First growth wines in Bordeaux are highly prestigious and include five top Chรขteau's. Super second growth wines are highly regarded and often outperform some first growths. Second wines of a chateau are made from lesser quality grapes and are more affordable. Terroir plays a significant role in the quality and characteristics of Bordeaux wines. Auction can be a great way to find good deals on expensive wines.Sound Bites
"We are drinking Bordeaux wines, baby."
"What are the first five growths?"
"Definitely gone into the tertiary flavours, but still a little bit of fruit hanging on in there."

Does '100 Points' mean a wine is "Perfect" and if so does that mean we are comparing that bottle against the worlds best?
After seeing one of Australia's best wine writers Erin Larkins review of 2022 The Standish 'Lamella' we knew we had to get our hands on it and see what a Master Sommelier thinks!
A little bit about Standish via Goodwood Cellars:
A 6th generation Barossan, Dan Standish established his eponymous winery in 1999 whilst still working as winemaker at Torbreck Vintners. His endeavour initially began around an ancient parcel of Shiraz owned and farmed by his father. All batches of fruit are fermented and matured individually then follows a strict selection in the winery that can see as much as 80% of the original blend discarded and sold off in bulk.
As with the finest producers in Europe only the finest material is sold under the Standish Wine Company label. Stylistically Dan's wines are as rich and profound as you would expect from Barossa Valley old vines but they have a satin texture and dreamy perfume that sets them far apart from his contemporaries. Here, dark fruits are encased in cocoa and earthy richness but with gentle spice, soil tone, asphalt and a stony minerality that gives the wines a beautiful dimension. These are special Australian wines!
Watch this video on YouTube to see our facial reactions to our first taste! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gl-LQDaV1k

Mount Mary is listed amongst the elite of Australian wine such as Penfolds 'Grange' and Henschke 'Hill of Grace' so why does it cost $165 and the others start at $900? We asked Chief Winemaker Sam Middleton
"I wonder what would have happened if we followed their price structure"
After visiting his local wine shop Angus O'Loughlin asked Sam what his thought were when he sees Mount Mary wines marked up 100% BEFORE corkage
"We treat our mailing list like family, what people do out of that is their decision and their choice"
This episode we are lucky to have a vertical of 'Quintet' the "flagship" of the Mount Mary wines with stories being shared about each vintage and the personal and professional reason why Sam brought them into the studio:
2012 Mount Mary 'Quintet'
2014 Mount Mary 'Quintet'
2017 Mount Mary 'Quintet'
2021 Mount Mary 'Quintet'

Taking our conversation on the Journey through working at Gevrey-Chambertin and cutting his teeth at Coldstream Hills and Dominique Portet before returning to his families estate as Chief Winemaker
"Once you're back you're very unlikely to leave, you wanna try and get as many different experiences as possible"
Imposter Syndrome, stamping his mark on the label and the next generation of winemakers are all discussed while everyone enjoys a stunning
2015 Mount Mary Triolet. "It was a fantastic Yarra vintage, probably one of the best I've been involved in"
2021 Mount Mary Chardonnay "Great acid, great focus, great freshness, great drive but still have flavour and concentration and personality"
If you can enjoy a glass of MM alongside listening or watching this episode.

Have a cracking bottle of Red Wine and you don't know if you should decant it?
If you should - how long for?
Master Sommelier Carlos Santos is here to debunk the decanting myths and describe the many benefits, including separating the sediment from the liquid. This is especially helpful for red wines. Decanting also enhances a wine's flavour by exposing it to oxygen, and allowing it to breathe.
In this episode of Got Somme: We decant one wine into 3 different vessels to explain the process and why once decanted we can assess 3 different experiences.
Get ready to find out how to be rid of your wine dregs aka sediment and give your cherished wines their best chance.

Embarking his 20th vintage in Yarra Valley Toolangi winemaker Kaspar Hermann knows a thing or two about getting the best from a Chardonnay grape.
Marrying into a wine making family, and taking a viticulture course himself in his teens, wine is where he was destined to be and after vintages with Seville Estate, Rochford and Mount Mary, Toolangi came calling. Taking over the reigns from legendary winemakers Rick Kinzbrunner, Franco D'Anna, David Bicknell and Willy Lunn his first vintage in 2019 was made somewhat easier by starting during the harvest and the pressure of making calls about the canopy and crop being delayed until 2020.
In this episode of Got Somme: Master Sommelier Carlos Santos and wine lover Angus O'Loughlin talk about the Toolangi Takeover, the importance of 'F Block Chardonnay' and the world stage Kaspar dreams to take his wines.

Chardonnay can be a divisive wine when really it shouldn't! If you don't like Chardonnay chances are you probably just don't like over oaked Chardonnay.
The grape variety itself is actually neutral and if you were to taste a Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Chardonnay next to a William Fevre Petit Chablis you would be mistaken for thinking they are two completely different grape varietals.
The difference? Oak
One with plenty and one without any!
In this episode of Got Somme, Yarra Valley local Brenden Robnik aka 'The Wine Animal' joins us in studio to deep dive his favourite Australian wine region while also looking at the complex differences altitude can make on Chardonnay separated only by a few kilometres.
Disagree that the Yarra Valley is the best wine region in Victoria?
