1988 Château Pichon-Longueville BaronPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/12/2001 - wine&roses wrote: 93 pointsRich, dark ruby, substantial mouthfeel, opulent taste of saddle leather, cigar box, old library, and--deep in the profound center--some still-living, miraculous essence of fruit. One of life's blessings. |

5/28/2017 - wine&roses Likes this wine: 93 pointsPerfect. Gunpowder, peppercorns, & roses on the nose; lots of well integrated fruit on the palate. Beautifully made wine, ready to drink, with some breathing space beforehand. |

2014 Château CapbernSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/17/2022 - wine&roses Likes this wine: 93 pointsGorgeous, classic claret. With none of the feminine softness you'd expect from a St. Estephe, this is an assertively masculine wine, as if each grape had two little grapes hanging off it. Rich, complex, viscous--I love this wine. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

2008 Pertimali (Livio Sassetti) Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
8/6/2020 - wine&roses Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is very nearly perfect--a classic, perfectly aged, terroir-driven wine that is complex and pure at the same time. I am sorry to say goodbye to my case. |

1982 Château Langoa BartonSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/14/2015 - wine&roses Likes this wine: 92 pointsPerfect mature claret, not at all over the hill. It is not transcendent, but it is wonderful, with its lovely barnyard tang. Thanks, George. |

2009 Château Doisy-DaëneBarsac Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
12/25/2017 - wine&roses wrote: 92 pointsOh, Christmas and plum pudding, with this wonderful wine. I have drunk many vintages of Yquem, and this is no slouch by comparison. Yes, lacks the finesse of Montaigne's wine, but there are so many underappreciated sauternes that it is easy to find a bargain like this. |

2003 Château d'AiguilheCastillon Côtes de Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/12/2017 - wine&roses Likes this wine: 92 pointsPerfect claret, the fruit still rich and fresh, just the right complexity. Kudos to the Graf. I love his wines. |

2009 Château Capbern-GasquetonSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/18/2019 - wine&roses Likes this wine: 92 pointsPerfectly mature and sophisticated, if not particularly grand, claret, with ripe fruit, plenty of complexity, authentic terroir, and no new-fangled humbug. I'd buy more , if I could get it, now that my two cases are finished. It's got a couple of years' life left, for sure. |

2010 Château Prieuré-Lichine Confidences de Prieuré-LichineMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/3/2020 - wine&roses Likes this wine: 92 pointsBeautiful, mature claret, radiating the magic of margaux. Lush, mouth-filling fruit, with sufficient complexity from the well-resolved tannins to sing of the Bordeaux terroir. No it is not a Grand Cru, but it is mighty fine. |

4/3/2012 - wine&roses wrote: 92 pointsYummy, but just on the verge of being corked. Gorgeous, opulent palate, but not much on the nose. Time to drink the bottles in this cellar--a very happy task! Two bottles. |
