| 1955 | Château Pape Clément (Pessac-Léognan) | |
|
Rosehip tea in color with the fragrance of a cigar store with its array of tobaccos and cedar humidors with a whiff of strawberry and smoke. Light in weight, with elegant, soft, refined textures and a smoky, bright red fruits, soft, silky finish. Perhaps it was a decade past its best days, but it was still quite a treat. 7 Views Tasted May 2, 2021 |

| 2015 | Château Croix de Labrie (St. Émilion Grand Cru) | |
|
Flowers, licorice, espresso, smoke, herbs and ripe dark cherries permeate the perfume. Soft, polished, lusciously textured on the palate, the silky finish shares the stage with ripe plums, savory herbs, sweet cherries and a touch of coffee bean. Give this 2-3 years more age in the bottle and it will be showing even better. 528 Views Tasted Apr 25, 2021 |

| 2016 | Château Croix de Labrie (St. Émilion Grand Cru) | |
|
The spicy nose comes along with flowers, incense, black with blue fruit and toasty oak. Rich, full and concentrated, the wine is fresh, structured, bright and filled with soft, polished dark red fruits. But this seems to be holding on to its adolescence for a bit longer than anticipated. So give it 3-4 more years in the bottle and it should soften and better integrate. 576 Views Tasted Apr 25, 2021 |

| 2017 | Château Croix de Labrie (St. Émilion Grand Cru) | |
|
Youthful as you would expect, the wine is on the fresh, bright, red fruit side with soft, polished tannins and a nice sweetness to the fruits. The oak is close to fully integrated, allowing you to savor all the sweet, ripe, red pit fruits and berries. Still, this is quite primary, so give it at least 5 years of cellaring before popping a bottle. 546 Views Tasted Apr 25, 2021 |

| 2018 | Marjosse Anthologie de Marjosse - Cuvée Chardonneret (Vin de France) | |
|
The debut vintage of this 100% Chardonnay is sweet, round and juicy with creamy lemons on the nose and palate. The floral, crushed stone and waxy lemon character in the perfume hits the spot. Not much is made, so if you want to find this 100% Chardonnay from Bordeaux you need to move quick as the production is under 100 cases. 628 Views Tasted Apr 18, 2021 |

This is absolutely gorgeous to drink now. The nose, with its peppery cherries, herbs, thyme and tinge of vanilla gets you instantly involved with the wine. On the palate, the blend of Grenache and Mourvedre is supple, soft, wild and fresh, finishing you with a beautiful display of spicy, dark and bright red berries with peppery, sweet kirsch that comes along with a hint of green olives and herbs. Not decanted, this is ready to go. 898 Views Tasted Apr 12, 2021 |

| 1988 | Château Léoville Las Cases (St. Julien) | |

Firm, classic, old-school styled wine with good concentration and a focus on its bright, crisp, herb and cedar accents.

| 1998 | Château Léoville Las Cases (St. Julien) | |

This is developed well over the wines, putting on more weight and complexity. Now, you find a ready-to-go Las Cases delivering a complex set of aromatics; black and red currants, smoke, cigar box, wet earth, cedar, and tobacco. The wine is full, firm, stoic and also fresh. Classic in style, the finish is all about its freshness and lifted characteristics that come along with its chewy, bright, red, spicy fruits. An hour or 2 of air will help. The wine blends 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc, 12.9% ABV. 1,349 Views Tasted Apr 8, 2021 |

I really like this style as it off great LLC character in a forward style. Tobacco, mocha, blackberries, cassis, cigar wrapper and wet forest aromas open the nos. Medium/full-bodied, regal, yet elegant, soft, and structured, the wine is juicy, fresh, vibrant and leaves you with a refined version of classic Bordeaux. This is drinking just great today. There is a beautiful sweetness and lift in the finish. This is a better version of the 1985.

| 2003 | Château Léoville Las Cases (St. Julien) | |
|
Showing no signs of heat or overripeness, the wine offers a spicy dark berry, cigar wrapper, wet earth, forest leaf and mint-packed nose. On the palate the wine is round, full-bodied, ripe, and fleshy, but not at all over the top or overripe. The finish remains on the sweet, but fresh fruit side with ample red and black fruits and dusty tannins in the finish. My instincts are to enjoy this now and over the next 12-15 years. The wine blends 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot qnd 13% Cabernet Franc, 13.15% ABV. Picking is one of the estates earliest harvest periods, September 11-26. 1,852 Views Tasted Apr 8, 2021 |

| 2020 | Château Bas Rosé (Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence) | |

Bright, fresh, vibrant, mineral-driven style of Rose with a nice blend of fresh yellow and orange citrus and crisp, sweet strawberry, raspberry and white cherries.

Deeply colored, the wine is packed with dark chocolate-covered black fruits with strong truffle notes on the nose and palate.

Medium-bodied, classically styled, forward, early-drinking wine with a focus on its floral, spice, red fruit, herb and thyme character. The finish is bright, fresh and herbal.

Quite youthful as you would expect, still it is difficult not to be impressed by the concentration, ripeness, elegance, freshness and energy here. Parked on the corner of elegance, freshness and opulence, the fruit shows good purity, length and vibrance. Kuch of what the wine has to offer is held in reserve at the moment. The wine be best after 2026. 1,480 Views Tasted Apr 3, 2021 |

Classic in style, the wine is more interesting on the nose with its herb, tree leaf, flowers, smoke and bright red fruit nose and palate. Medium-bodied, with a piquant red berry, olive and dark cocoa mid-palate and finish, the wine will be better with at least another 6-7 years in the cellar. 1,005 Views Tasted Apr 3, 2021 |

| 2018 | Château Grand Mayne (St. Émilion Grand Cru) | |

This is my favorite vintage of Grand Mayne yet. The wine is rich, lush, round and packed with sweet, ripe, fresh, opulent black cherries, plums and chocolate. The wine has good concentration, a nose of smoke, licorice, roasted, dark red pit fruits and a finish stocked with dusty, chocolate-covered, fresh dark plums. This is so good now. But its best day are a few years away. Start drinking this in 2028 and enjoy it for the next 15 or more years after that. Grand Mayne is not a showy style of wine. It is more like a refined, elegant version of Classic Bordeaux. 1,128 Views Tasted Apr 3, 2021 |
