🏅 Rating 96/100 (4,6🌟)

Super Vintages of SuperSeconds🍷

'90 St.-Estephe Flight

Plums, cassis, cedar, full of dark fruits and leather. Supreme texture and mouthfeel. Great representation of St.-E terroir. Reached its very peak maturity.

2eme GC Classé. 60% CS, 38% M, 2% CF. Fermented in steel tanks. 18mo aging in 80% new oak. Fining, no filtration. Atypically for Medoc high portion of Merlot

80s till mid-90s was super era for Cos, now inconsistent, overpriced.

Château d'Yquem

Y Ygrec Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2005

Comparison between 05 and 18. 05 is crushing it. Such a beauty showing that an oak-influenced Sauvignon Blanc-Sémillon blend can be this good, rivals with those best whites in burgundy. If you buy newer vintages, please be patient. Wait till at least 10 years to open it! — 5 years ago
