4/4/2024 - Marquis du Vin Likes this wine: 92 pointsSolid wine. Full bodied, pencil lead, sweet tobacco and dark cherries. Could probably last a few more years! Excellent now, not as refined as the gran vin, but definitely a great bottle that demonstrates the 2010 vintage's power.

3/29/2024 - IvanLi Likes this wine: 94 pointsYes, a delicious juice it is. Forget about ratings and enjoy the ride. Creamy, silky smooth nectar with tomato leaf, cassis, black cherry, wet earth, smoke and dark chocolate covered red cherries. Tobacco as well.

3/1/2024 - BryonD Likes this wine: 93 pointsRich cherry, berry and cedar notes in the nose with hints of rosemary. Well structured with firm tannins. Blackberry and black pepper on the palate. May well open up and develop more complex notes in time.

2018 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée LaurenceRed Rhone Blend more |
12/30/2023 - Whitman wrote: 94 pointsDelicious nose on the elegant side for Pegau, with garrique and black cherries. Medium to full bodied, opulent and rich and really with some punch. A long peppery and intense finish with chewy tannins. This is fine to drink today.

2018 Château Petit-FigeacSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/23/2023 - 40ozProphet Likes this wine: 93 pointsSecond label by an excellent vineyard, this vintage stood out. Absolute fruit jam: raspberries, plum, blackberries, and blackcurrant. This one shows so much life beyond a heavy fruit structure, you’ve got a lot of oak, mineral, and graphite to back it up. Vanilla flavored cigar and pepper to follow it up - 65% Cabernet, 30% merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc - healthy tannins to balance this out.

2015 Trinity Hill HomageGimblett Gravels Syrah more |
1/21/2022 - ETT95 wrote: 92 pointsPurplish. Seductive nose of dark red fruits and spices. Resemble those from Northern Rhone. Fresh and clean on palate. Dark chocolate, vanilla, mineral. Fine tannin, good acidity. Not a boomer, good to enjoy on its own. A lovely Syrah.

2016 Château Petit-FigeacSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/2/2023 - Purple Tooth wrote: 91 pointsA unique wine that confused me into thinking it was a Cabernet. Showing the herbaceous side of wine, with hints of peppercorn and cedar. Had me thinking Pauillac or maybe a young St. Julien. How wrong I was...Feels young with good energy. Ready to drink but can hold and probably improve a couple of notches depending on your profile preference for Bordeaux. Drink or Hold

2019 Château Petit-FigeacSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/12/2023 - Marquis du Vin Likes this wine: 93 pointsSomeone had mentioned this was the best Petite Figeac ever - it very well may be! Definitely more going on than the 2016. More succulent than the 2015, have not had the 2018 so ... This is clearly ahead of the class for me too! Why? Well, it's very well structured, but with more depth and fitness. Everything is distinctly Figeac, the taste, the darker currant side of the fruit, the sweetness, and silky texture in the mouth. Nothing acidic or harsh here at all, all flowing nicely. I bet the gran vin is amazing! Good QPR $60. I have the 2018 which was $70. May get another case of this one before it rises.

2020 La Dame de MontroseSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/21/2023 - Jeff Leve wrote: 93 pointsEarthy, blackberries, herbs, licorice and roses are found in the nose. On the palate, the wine is packed with layers of dark red and black fruits, round, creamy tannins and a touch of roasted, leafy herbs in the mid-palate and in the finish. This baby Montrose is perfect to enjoy while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop. Drink from 2023-2038.

2017 Chevalier de LascombesMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/24/2020 - Gabriel Geller Likes this wine: 92 pointsChâteau Lascombes, Chevalier de Lascombes, Margaux, 2017: Deep purple in color. On the nose, ripe blackberries and blueberries evolving towards red fruit, cedar box, vanilla with loads of toasted oak that thankfully integrates with substantial air time. Full-bodied, concentrated, with notes of ripe black and blue fruits going red with air time, nutmeg, green foliage, pipe tobacco, medium-plus acidity, with tart red fruit, powdery tannins and hints of dirt on the long and elegant finish. Needs a lot of decanting to come into its own. Drink 2024-2032. 13% Abv. 92

2004 Château Pichon-Longueville BaronPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/16/2023 - the player Likes this wine: 93 pointsAmazing how the wine continues to evolve ever so slowly in bottle. Same dark ruby red color, nose of cassis, coffee, rocks, pencil lead and spice. On the palate structure remains the same, nice mid palate acidity, very terroir driven, almost like a Les Forts de Latour with more character. Superb balance, finishes slightly short with melting tannins. Still very enjoyable to drink today as it was the first time I sampled this with Oz Clarke in 2010!

9/8/2023 - trumpet60201 Likes this wine: 94 pointsAlmost a year since my last review of this wine - I need to keep my hands off of these for a while, but they are just so good... See my last review for details. This bottle showed the same as the one last year - prototypical elegance and balance. The tannins are still very present, but are ripe and don't dry things out too much. Hold if you have the patience, otherwise enjoy.
