1996 Château AngélusSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/18/2024 - Tao wrote: 91 pointsThe aroma of rather, stingy, herbal fruits, a touch of leathery fruits, this is not what I was expecting! Exceptional fine in texture and to me, this lacks a bit of excitement! |

2000 Château Latour à PomerolRed Bordeaux Blend more |
4/12/2024 - Tao wrote: 95 pointsA touch of amber hue and mainly dark ruby colour, beautiful transparency! Nose of French oak barrique, ripe, sweet fruits, a little bit of spiciness, and a gentle touch of leather. The palate is rich and dense, rather youthful and quite meaty, full of substance, long finish! Ready to drink but not yet ready to shine! Needs a decade of cellaring, with a very promising future! |

1998 Château Latour à PomerolRed Bordeaux Blend more |
4/9/2024 - Tao wrote: 93 pointsComplex nose of spicy, mineral, ripe, sweet cherry fruits. Deep, translucent ruby colour! Meaty, minty, sweet cherry fruit palate, a lengthy finish! Can age a bit longer for more refinement and complexity, a brief decanting is highly recommended! Now to 2033 in my book! |

2002 Clos FourtetSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/6/2024 - Tao wrote: 93 pointsBlight, translucent, glossy ruby colour! Nose of sweet cherry fruits and a hint of sweet, smoky oak! On the palate, some sweet, meaty fruits along with the exotic oriental spices, drinking very well now and still showing a touch of extravagance! |

1996 Château Lynch-BagesPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/1/2024 - Tao wrote: 93 pointsThe black currant fruits as well as the bell pepper fruits fighting hard for the attention, also, the leathery notes joining the party, are quite interesting! The palate is in my view slightly courser than the modern vintage like the 2000, for example! Still a bit closed at the moment! Takes perhaps another decade to develop! |

2006 Château Cos d'EstournelSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/27/2024 - Tao wrote: 95 pointsBeautiful nose of ripe black currant fruits, very young and dark colour! The palate is tight and waves and waves of slightly sweet spicy black fruits, a lengthy finish! Not fully mature yet! An hour of decanting may help. This is a rather serious wine! |
