Not fair to compare different years… 🧐 Premier Crus are excellent in their own way

We recently acquired the Acclivi & Cannubi for '18; they're going to slumber for a while before I pull any corks.

Nice, agree as they usually need more time than the Monvigliero. Cheers!

Marchesi de' Frescobaldi

Riserva Nipozzano Chianti Rùfina Sangiovese Blend

Medium bodied with smooth finish! Yummy, easy wine - 1st time at Oakwood Club — 4 years ago

Château Haut-Brion

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

1st Growth Bordeaux comparison. Young, bold and bit more herbaceous than the rest and would benefit the most from good years lying down. Great potential. — 4 months ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

1st Growth Bordeaux comparison. A young poet full of art and glory. Deep ruby colour, with scents of raspberry and red currant with graphite and even leather. Imposing on the palate yet balanced and elegant. Full bodied, high alcohol, fine grain tannings, medium acidity, with a long finish and notes of ripe red fruit. Wine with great aging potential. — 4 months ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2017

1st Growth Bordeaux comparison. Mind blowing. I mean, from a weak Bordeaux vintage comes this masterpiece which can be enjoyed now or saved for decades to come. Beautiful nose and almost perfumed with roses and black cheery and blueberry, cedar, and pencil shavings. The palate is pure bliss full of complexity, intensity yet balanced and the finish just goes on and on. Cheers. — 4 months ago

Pensées de Lafleur

Pomerol 2012

Did not took detailed notes but this is a fresh, elegant, complex and very satisfying Pomerol. One of the best second wines of 1st growths in Bordeaux. 2012 is very much better than the vintage reputation. — 4 years ago

Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin

Montmains Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017

Very Droin in style, crisp and tight, fresh and mineral, with just enough density to make it a very good 1st growth, drinks like a charm.

Très beau premier cru de Droin, frais et mineral, serré et vif, avec juste assez de densité et texture pour en faire une bouteille qui se siffle en un rien de temps. 90-91
