2018 Château Clos St. Martin 94 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru
A really lovely, and quite limited Bordeaux. 3 acres located right above Angelus in prime real estate. Only about 400 bottles make it to the states every year. Very nice.

2017 Château Hosanna 96 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
This was a surprise to me, but excellent. Neighbors with Petrus and Lafleur, Hosanna is a beautiful classic Pomerol made by Christian Mouiex. Top notch stuff. Many years ahead of it.

2022 Château Hosanna 98 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
WOW. Neighbors with Petrus and Lafleur, Hosanna is a beautiful classic Pomerol made by Christian Mouiex. But this 2022 vintage (hot days, cool nights) is a BANGER. Lucious red, black and blue fruits with silky smooth tannins. A sensual wine for sure. Black cherry, plum, truffle, mocha. Hints of cocoa and tobacco which will develop with age I'm sure. Signature blue clay. 11 acres. This is extremely approachable now but I really am excited to see how it ages.

Flight 4 - Ducru-Beaucaillou Table (3 Notes)
2019 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou Le Petit Ducru 93 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Saint-Julien
Very approachable wine but bright red fruits

2015 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou La Croix Ducru-Beaucaillou 92 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Saint-Julien
A separate plot from Ducru grand vin. I got a more gravelly and dirt vibe even though I think it has distinctly less gravel than the grand vin. Solid showing but doesn't stack up to the grand vin at all.

2018 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 95 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Saint-Julien
Wonderful classic Bordeaux qualities. A great Ducru showing.

Flight 5 - Cos d'Estournel Table (4 Notes)
2018 Château Cos Labory 92 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Saint-Estèphe
Solid showing from Cos d'Estournel's neighbor. They sit side by side on the same gravel hill ("Cos" = “hill of pebbles” in old Gascon) and share the same ownership, but are completely different projects. This doesn't stack up to Cos but was an impressive wine for the price point.

WOTN was the 2022 Chateau Hosanna which looks to be a stunner which will last for decades.

2020 Château de Pez 2nd Pez 90 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Saint-Estèphe
Jammy crowd pleaser of a wine. Felt way more new world than Bordeaux.

Underwhelming for me. Very basic, without any super distinct characteristics shining through.
