Chateau Margaux Pavillon Rouge 2018

By 305|2024-08-03T02:41:30+00:00October 20, 2022|Categories: $80 And Above, Bordeaux, France, Red Wines|

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93 points: "The 2018 Pavillon Rouge is a blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc, with 14.5% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with vivacious scents of chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries and blackcurrant pastilles with suggestions of bay leaves, pencil lead, tapenade and dusty soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a generous amount of black fruit at the core with loads of earthy and savory accents and a soft, approachable frame, finishing long with an herbal lift. It is approachable now but should be a lot more expressive with a couple of years in bottle and drink nicely over the following 15 to 18 years or more."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 95 points: "Very deep garnet in color, the 2014 Ducru-Beaucaillou springs from the glass, offering vibrant notions of fresh black currants, black cherries and black raspberries with touches of spice box, licorice and fragrant soil plus a waft of lavender. Medium-bodied, the palate bursts with lively, crunchy black fruits, supported by ripe, grainy tannins and finishing on a lingering spicy note."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 95 points: "Deep garnet colored, the 2008 Ducru-Beaucaillou begins a little broody, giving up glimpses of tar, chargrill, moss covered tree bark and fungi scents over a core of baked plums, warm cassis and blackberry compote plus a touch of unsmoked cigars. Medium-bodied, the palate has firm, ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness supporting the earth laced black fruit layers, finishing minerally."

Porto Ferreira Late Bottled Vintage (or LBV) is a high quality port that combines the unique characteristics of the year in which it is produced. It can be enjoyed immediately or after ageing in the bottle, as preferred. LBV Port Wines are single-harvest wines, bottled between the 4th and 6th year after harvesting.

A deep ruby colour. Intense aroma of good complexity, with very present black fruits, slight shrub, balsamic truffle and undergrowth notes, and hints of spices, like pepper and curry, with a slight stoniness, which gives it great harmony. An excellent body on the palate and marked acidity, very good quality tannins, black fruit and spices of pepper, with a highly complex, elegant finish.

Poggio di Sotto Rosso di Montalcino 2017

By 305|2024-09-20T17:24:56+00:00November 8, 2022|Categories: $80 And Above, Italy, Red Wines, Tuscany|

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 93 points: "The Poggio di Sotto 2017 Rosso di Montalcino is a terrific wine and one of a handful of Rossi that I can recommend for longer cellar aging. This Rosso is built like a Brunello and shows the qualities needed to further its evolution. In this 20,000-bottle release, those attributes include complexity, freshness and a solid, mid-weight structure. You hardly feel the heat of the vintage, save for those hints of extra richness and concentration that add to the wine's important and pleasurable mouthfeel. This is a terrific Rosso with the long-term perspective of its big brother Brunello."

Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2015

By 305|2023-05-26T19:31:25+00:00November 16, 2022|Categories: $80 And Above, Bordeaux, France, Red Wines|

Wine Enthusiastic - 100 points | James Suckling - 99 points

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 96 points: "The deep garnet-purple shaded 2015 Lafite Rothschild is blended of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot and was matured for 20 months in new oak barrels from Tonnellerie des Domaines (their own cooperage). It is still sporting a lot of cedar at this nascent stage with a vibrant core of black raspberries, red currants and crushed plums plus touches of cigar boxes, violets and underbrush with a waft of tilled loam. Medium-bodied and elegantly styled with wonderful freshness and depth, it is compellingly earthy/minerally in the mouth with a frame of seductively silky yet very firm tannins and culminating in a very long, racy and pure finish. Boasting spectacular finesse and packed with nuances, clearly, given some of the challenges here in 2015, this is a masterpiece of diligence in the vineyards, careful selection and very clever crafting—bravo! "
