Flight 1 - Saint-Emilion - 2006 Klassifikationen (5 Notes)

Presented changes in the Saint-Emilion 2006 Classification, with personal notes on preferences, and winners and loser. 3 2003 wines tasted, all good, however 2 in dire need of cellarage, and 1 that is drinkable (Pavie Macquin). 2 older vintages were added to evaluate the difference, the 2000 showing the early and late trend, being closed. the 1994 to show the mature wine, though in my opinion, it was too old.

  • 2003 Château Pavie Macquin 95 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru

    (1/30/2007)

    strong healthy wine, great bouquet, even better taste, well balanced with the fruit coming throuhg the tannins and acidity well. Slight licorise taste. Best of the evening.

  • 2003 Château Fleur Cardinale 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru

    (1/30/2007)

    Great colour, yet very sharp acidity and green tanins. However the bouquet was fantastic, and you could sense the grandeur of the wine, if it ages another 10 years. High alcohol percentage. Dried the mouth out very quickly.
