11/25/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 97 pointsI really like this wine. It is generous, powerful, concentrated, and mouth-filling with all of its waves of black and dark red fruits. There is balance, richness, length, and a sense of depth that your palate can dig into. While still young, it is a pleasure in your glass today, though its best days are yet to come. Drink from 2023-2050.

3/21/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 93 pointsEarthy, blackberries, herbs, licorice and roses are found in the nose.

10/19/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 95 pointsElegance, florality, and purity are the hallmarks of this gem. Medium-bodied, refined, fresh, and clean, the floral bouquet on the front kicks everything off in the right way. The palate is lifted, pure, and energetic, but, also soft and refined, with more than ample layers of ripe, sweet, currants, cherries, and plums in the finish. Drink from 2023-2045.

10/19/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 95 pointsFirm, crisp, classic-styled vintage of COS.

2017 Château Latour à PomerolRed Bordeaux Blend more |
4/26/2018 - Jeff Leve wrote: 93 pointsIf you're not familiar with this wine in its current incarnation, you're missing out. Starting with 2009, this wine has been on a tear, progressing and improving with every vintage. Even in a difficult year of devastating frost, this is a beauty. There is a silky, plush, velvety quality to the fruit, paired with purity and sweetness that stands out. You should give this 3-5 years or more in the cellar and the wine should hit the top of my range.

1990 Château MontroseSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/27/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 100 pointsBacchus was shining on us today because 1990 is either murdered by brett, or if it's clean, the bottle can be majestic. This bottle was majestic and more. The wealth of palate-staining, perfectly ripe, sweet, regal fruit is something to behold. The finish hits the 60-second mark, crosses it with ease, and keeps right on going. However, it is imperative to keep in mind the wine is Jekyll or Hyde and there is no way to know without popping a cork. Drink from 2023-2055.

The palate is full-bodied, round, lush, and plummy with layers of chocolate-dusted plums, blue fruit, licorice, and a bit of chalk in the endnote. Drink from 2023-2040.

1996 Château Latour Grand VinPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/4/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 98 pointsOffering a sublime tasting experience., the wine is packed with all the spicy cedar, tobacco leaf, cigar box, ash, currants, blackberries, and smoke you could ask for. Full-bodied, deep, long, earthy, rich, and long, the wine unfurls on your palate and stays there. This is still the best buy for a Latour that is close to maturity on the market today. Drink from 2023-2055.

2009 Château Cheval BlancSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/4/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 99 pointsWhat a wine! The nose is enough to win over any wine lover with its display of flowers, cocoa, dark red, and black fruits, earth, and spices. But, as good as the perfume is, it is on the seamless palate with its opulent, exotic, display of silk and velvet textures that is the perfect backdrop for more than 60 seconds of perfectly ripe fruits that express a sense of purity, elegance and yes, sex appeal. Still young, this is a future legend. Drink from 2023-2050.

2015 Château Ducru-BeaucaillouSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/5/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 98 pointsDeep, dark in color, the wine exudes a cigar box, tobacco leaf, flowers, black cherries, blackberries, crushed rock, clay, and lead pencil. If awards were given out for the most sensual vintage of Ducru Beaucaillou ever produced, 2015 earns the gold medal. Rich, full-bodied, opulent, sexy, and also vibrant, fresh, long, and intense, the fruit shows purity and intensity, but it is the silky textured, lingering finish that steals the show. Give this a few years and it is really going to shine. The wine blends 95% Cabernet Sauvignon with 5% Merlot. Drink from 2027-2060.

2003 Château Ducru-BeaucaillouSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/5/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 93 pointsFading, but not without its charms and the signature of the famously, torrid vintage, the wine is soft and supple in character. The nose and palate share tobacco, spice, and roasted red fruit characteristics. The finish, while fruity, is chalky with a hint of drying tannins on the back end. The wine blends 80% Cabernet Sauvignon with 20% Merlot. Drink from 2023-2033.

9/4/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 97 pointsIt took 1 hour of air before the layers of floral accented, luscious, silky plums, licorice, cocoa, and blue fruits were in full force and hitting their stride. The wine is powerful, elegant, fresh, opulent and silky. This is fabulous now, but either wait a bit, or give it an hour of air, and it is really going to sing. Drink from 2023-2045.

2019 Château Feytit ClinetPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/1/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 97 pointsThis is a wow wine. It only takes one sniff and sip before you are seduced by its wealth of black plums, dark cherries, truffles, espresso, licorice, and chocolate. However, it is the texture on the palate, with its freshness, velvety tannins, and layers of mouth-coating black plums, chocolate, and cherry liqueur that steal the show. This could be the best value in Pomerol today. If Pomerol is your thing, you should own this wine. Drink from 2024-2050.

Lively, rich, intense, and dense, with layers of dark, ripe, powerful, vibrant, chewy red fruits, this is really in a good spot, and if well-stored, should get even better. Drink from 2023-2050.
