2005 Clarendon Hills Grenache Kangarillamore |
3/1/2013 - ScottPreston wrote: 90 pointsI think this wine is at its perfect drinking point. Great cherry, menthol, cedar nose. The palate carries through those great cherry flavors, but a bit medicinal. Still has fantastic structure and balance. I would hold this no longer, pop the cork today. |

2002 Clarendon Hills Syrah Brookmanmore |
2/22/2009 - ScottPreston wrote: 90 pointsNot sure how Parker gave this a 96. Almost like sryup. And way too overextracted. Aside from that very massive shiraz, with strong blueberry pie, tar, and rasberry flavors. |

12/20/2013 - ScottPreston wrote: 93 pointsA big, rich muscular wine. Loved it, had everything in line, with big rich black fruits and great tannin. I will definitely be looking to pick up more of this wine, for the price it would be hard to beat. |

1998 Château Le Bon PasteurPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/9/2015 - ScottPreston wrote: 94 pointsI was absolutely blown away at the quality of the 1998 Bon Pasteur, at nearly 17 years. Still youthful, but showing all its qualities. I think this might even be better than the 2000 LBP i had last month. The tannins have melted away leaving velvet like dark fruit, smoke, tar. Finish goes on for 25-30 seconds. Incredible. |

2008 Château Le Bon PasteurPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/16/2023 - ScottPreston wrote: 93 pointsStill a bit young. Needed about 90 minutes to start showing darker blueberry and blackberry fruits. Lush, but restrained. I might wait another 2-4 years on this. Really solid. |

1999 Château Le Bon PasteurPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/26/2009 - ScottPreston wrote: 92 pointsMostly underappreciated by the general public, this continues to be one of my favorite Bordeaux. A great wine for the vintage, and remains youthful and vibrant. Smoke, earth, tar, and mineral on the nose. Palate is sour cherry, blueberry, stone, and meaty. Long and deliberate finish. |

2000 Château Péby FaugèresSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/7/2016 - ScottPreston wrote: 93 pointsI love it when i drink a bottle at its apex. The 2000 Peby is just singing right now. Big and dark fruits with scents of tar, some earth and graphite. Well balanced with a 20+ second finish. Only knock is that i think this wine has 2-3 years left before it starts fading. Drink up |

2010 Château FaugèresSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/27/2013 - ScottPreston wrote: 91 pointsI am really surprised at some of the lower ratings for this wine. It is a little young, but with an hour in the decanter i thought it was a beautiful expression of St. Emillion (modern style though). Big rich black and blue fruits, great tannins, and a moderate finish. For the price i think this is a must buy 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

7/27/2013 - ScottPreston wrote: 88 pointsI have had the 2000 and loved it. This wine seemed more cooked and flabby with little acidity to carry the fruit. I have found this with some other 2003s. I think this bottle needs to be consumed immediately its at the end of its life. |
