Blinded. Clearly Burg, natty, and 18’. No one got the appellation. Loved the vitality here - pure dark berry energy, almost crystalline if not for the fruit sweetness (though it’s not as sweet as the other 18’ Burg on the table), juicy acidity, long finish accented by smoke and spice, and some noticeable fine tannins that gave the wine such a lovely texture. First encounter with this negociant (cooper turned winemaker!) and I’m keen to find out more! — 8 days ago

Blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon & 6% Petit Verdot, BV grapes were first planted back in 1900, by founder Georges de Latour. Outstanding! Deep dense Ruby with complex berry fruit aromas wrapped in toasty spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and sweet plum with licorice and cacao, adding cedar and tobacco notes. Soft velvet tannins, still young, long finish, well integrated and nicely balanced, a joy to drink. Will age a long time. A Wow factor wine!! — 3 days ago

CLB! Always a sure thing. It’s consistently distinctive with soaring aromatics, piercing fruit purity and an elegant, balanced and vibrant palate. 2014 CGV continues to require a bit more air than its year older sibling, 2013, which is an easy pnp, but it comes around to show what a special Monopole it is. NSG with Vosne flair. Delicious. — 14 days ago

Heat & tannin blow off/soften after three hours to reveal a lovely core of structured sweet fruit with garrigue. Nice work. — 10 days ago

Medium rubi robe, nose of spices, anise and crushed flowers. Deceivingly light body with lots of material and elegant tannins. Was really good to drink but has potential to improve. Classically done, very much to our taste. — 15 days ago

Pop and pour. This time my wife said it: this is good, but is now inching downward. On the nose: soft game, cherry, brown sugar, spice, bark, savory herbs. On the palate: good acidity up front, cola, root beer, soft medicinal herbs. Fantastic density, and completely secondary, but leaning tertiary. A touch of tannin hanging on at the finish. In a very good place, but definitely beginning its decline. — 16 days ago
