Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fruity nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, eucalyptus, chocolates, spices, vegetables, coffee, herbs and black pepper.

Full bodied and rich with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, spices, toast, coffee, light vanilla, dark chocolates, peppercorn, earth and black tea.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This gorgeous 21 year old red blend from Saint Julien is drinking beautifully now. Powerful and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and elegant.

Peaking now, and still feels very fresh, with a lot of power to take it even longer. Will continue to drink nicely in the next 10 years.

This Third Growth Bordeaux is showing great complexity with a great mouthfeel. Spicy and entertaining. A great vintage in Bordeaux, and it is definitely showing.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food like a big piece of steak.

A blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot. Aged in (60% new) French Oak barrels for 21 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

This btl was still fresh & in perfect condition. I am always amazed how well the 66’s show especially the La Mission HB. — 14 days ago

The utterly delicious 2018 Chateau Gloria is medium>full, with an abundance of black fruit aromatics and flavors, a good structure, and a well balanced fruity core with juicy acidity and powdery tannins at the smoothly textured, long mouth coating finish. One of the better values in Bordeaux. — 9 days ago

Reddish in color with medium intensity.

Red fruits on the nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate, well balanced and complex.

Showing raspberries, strawberries, plums, red currants, earth, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, light tobacco leaf and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Fresh tasting and already drinking beautifully, even though it is very young. Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and engaging.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 86% Grenache from old vines with 7% Syrah and 7% Mourvèdre. Aged in large French oak barrels.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

Crazy fruit on the nose. 70% whole cluster. Floral, with inner-mouth florals, grip, structure, freshness and purity. Has that 2024 velvet. So clean and pretty. Awesome. — 2 months ago

45 years on, and still singing. Our friends’ wedding anniversary year. Classic tertiary Saint-Julien: cedar, forest floor, dried cherry, tobacco, pencil shavings — fruit fully resolved into savory complexity. Silky, perfumed, no rough edges. Need time to breathe for nose to be appealing. — 5 days ago

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, blackberries, light cedar, earth, herbs, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, light forest floor and black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 21 year old 4th growth Bordeaux is drinking beautifully now. Still showing enough fruits to balance the earth notes. Rich, elegant and very complex and engaging.

This iconic 2005 vintage is drinking very nicely now, and drinking at its peak. Will continue to drink nicely in the next 10 years. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

I had this vintage 2 years ago, and it is drinking much better now, and very approachable right out of the bottle.

Lovely salty, saline aroma with lime zest. 450 meters elevation, from 8 different plots. Rich yet zesty, with freshness and opulence. Older 100-year-old plots are aged in barrel, younger 10-50-year-old plots in steel. — 2 months ago

Surprise, surprise... Picked from the list of the restaurant to replace a corcked Mouton 1995, this was the positive surprise of the day for me. From a modest vintage, and a modest price point of around 35€, this blew away many multi 100€ bottles from the table today!

Profile was very round and sweet. Most of the tasting group placed this in napa valley when presented blind. — 3 months ago
