Critique Wine: Red & White Bordeaux

[Mike Buckley]

I don't remember ever having red and white Bordeaux wines from the same winery in our home at the same time, so I thought it would be worthwhile to photograph this pair given to me. The white wine (a dry wine) was excellent but I haven't had the red wine.

Both wines are Graves grand cru classifications. All grand cru wines from Graves are from its Pessac-Leognan sub-region, which is new information to me.

Setup
The tabletop is a black shirt. A small amount of light fell directly onto the scene from a small continuous-light lamp in the right front area. Most of the light from that lamp lit a white wall behind the scene and that wall bounced the light back onto the scene.

As always, impeccable lighting, well done. I may not comment on every single wine post but I salivate on the artistry on every one Mike!

Nicely done, Mike. Both labels look great, despite their color differences.

Very nice presentation Mike!

Thank you also to Nick and Binnur!

Both labels look great, despite their color differences.

I expected that color difference to be a major issue but it was actually a non-issue.
