Chewy, savory currants, with a minty edge are already expressive in the nose, and in the medium-bodied, chewy, leafy, chalky palate. Give this at least a year or two of aging, and it should be even better. Drink from 2027-2043. 90-92 Pts.

PnP and drunk over three nights (left in the fridge with the cork in). It was gone by the third, but quite enjoyable (if a little simple) over the first two.

Cork was not in great shape - just ok enough. The wine was still quite high up the neck which was good sign. For a 53 year old it was OK. Still red (dark) and no sign of brown in colour, clear in the glass. Fruit had faded with a bit lingering in background. Typical Bordeaux tannins but a touch too much as fruit is not as pronounced. Old cigars, earthy fungi on nose and palate. It is exactly what an old Bordeaux tastes like. It would not be liked if one likes younger fruit driven wine. I think tomorrow it will have faded a bit.

Tobacco, cedar, forest leaves, peppery herbs and bright, red currants with a crisp and crunchy edge define this medium-bodied, forward wine. The finish focuses on its core of bright, energetic, fresh, red currants. Drink from 2025-2042.

Mittleres Rubin. Duftige Nase nach reifen Beeren, Kräutern, floralen Aromen und etwas Zedernholz. Im Gaumen weich im Auftakt, süsse Frucht, feinkörniges, nicht übermässig starkes Tannin, der Wein zeigt Balance und im Abgang eine mittlere Länge, endet auf Süssholz und schwarze Kirschen. 2025-2038 (Verkostet im November 2023 in Zürich bei UGCB)

Great performing at this level and very harmonious right now. Some real grip in the tannins so thats expected, mixed with some great purity of cassis fruit, oak, spice, and it's all just coming together as something gorgeous and classic. Length is there. Very nice and reminds me yet again that there is great value beyond the big names in Bordeaux. It is effortlessly classy. Wish I had way more. No rush, but I would drink up in the next 1-5 years as I prefer some pronounced fruit mixing with the age. Hats off.

Explosive aromas jumping out of the glass. Blackcurrant, oak, tobacco, violet, light butterscotch, maybe some banana, maybe some graphite. Tannins are soft by this point, acidity is present but mellow, there’s a lingering finish of brown sugar, baking spice, and star anise, and it’s an almost by-the-books Left Bank Bordeaux experience. I wasn’t shocked in any way, but I did have a very nice glass of Bordeaux, and that’s nothing to turn your nose up at.

I think this Chateau is the most underrated of all the 5th Grand Cru Classé wines.
I won't complain, because thanks to that I could buy this gem for just 26€.
Let's get to the business.
2 hours in the decanter
⏰🕙
This wine has all the attributes of the Paulliac AOC.
Sweet aromas of blackberry, black cherry, smoke, cedar, black currant.
Taste?
It's about the same! Plus nice spice. But perfect acidity and tannins ( I think this juice is at its peak), balance and harmony, highly drinkable and sophisticated...and do you remember my remarks about one more important factor?
Yes! Happiness *
Here we go!
I'm happy to drink this wine 🍷😎
And happiness is priceless, isn't it?

Tasted blind. Notes of sous bois, blackcurrant and eucalyptus. Lovely in the palate, fully resolved and with very fine tannins and acidity. Textbook Claret, more elegant than big.

Opened with immediate funk on the nose. Heavy cab forward, that slowly reveals the Merlot in this. About 30 minutes in a glass and it’s ready. Opened with immediate funk on the nose.

2002 Château Croizet-Bages

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more

12/26/2023 - Juliansi Likes this wine: 90 points

Soft red fruits, with a tinge of black fruit developing, and lovely cassis too on the nose. I was very impressed by the juicy acidity despite this being a 2002 vintage.. Yes, 21 years!

Tannins are resolved with a medium to medium-full body, and very pleasant mouthfeel. Polished leather comes across clearly, with a nice mineral-driven finish too. The finish was circa 20 to 30 seconds, with a slight drying touch.

62% Cab, 28% Merlot, 6% PV, and 4% Cab Franc. Aged in 50-55% new French oak, 12 months. Vinified in traditional cement vats. Malolactic fermentation takes place in tank.

I was very impressed by how this showed, for a Chateau I had known little about (Despite being a 5th growth), and this being a lesser vintage. The red fruit and the acidity with those leather secondaries made this special!

At USD 65 for such an aged bottle, this was a very good purchase indeed!

Vines are close to 35 years of age. The vineyard has a terroir of gravel and sand soil on the Bages plateau. It is located not that far from Chateau Lynch Bages and Grand Puy Lacoste too.

The vineyard of Croizet Bages is unusual in Pauillac because the vineyard is situated on one large, contiguous parcel. The vineyard can be subdivided into at least 20 different parcels of vines.

Yields can be higher here than at most other classified, Pauillac estates as they are on average 55 hectoliters per hectare at Chateau Croizet Bages. Something else to consider, 50% of the Croizet Bages vineyard is harvested by machine.

This Chateau was bought by a Bordeaux negociant in the late 1940s, by Paul Quie and since 1968, his son Jean-Michel Quie has taken care of the Pauillac property. The Quie family also owns Chateau Rauzan-Gassies in the Margaux appellation, and began a massive renovation of the Croizet Bages estate, wine-making facilities, and vineyards in 2013.

2002 vintage:
Mild winter transitioned into a cool spring but heavy rains caused flowering to be uneven.

The summer then failed to warm up and August arrived bringing downpours, Merlot found it particularly difficult to ripen.
A wave of intense heat finally swept through late summer and continue through September and October. This helped elevate the small harvest from being potentially poor to one of surprisingly high quality, especially for those who practiced rigorous selection.

Wines of the left bank generally performed better than those of the right and the wines from the Médoc were particularly good.

The wines of St Emilion and Pomerol suffered more due to the greater percentage of Merlot in the blends and could be slightly green in character.

Decanted for 4 hours. A dark colour; initially, the palate is soft and rich, with concentrated blackcurrant fruit. After a while, some tannin starts to poke though and the wine closes up a little. Very good though.

Last drunk about 3 years ago and it has developed well since then, although more time would help.

Beautiful brick coloured, orange tinged, 4.5
Generous classic Medoc bouquet, pencil, cedar, still some blackcurrant lingering in the back of it all.
Quite austere on the palate, l+T, mA, m-B, dry, elegant and balanced, somewhat lacking fruit but with charcuterie it went very well.
Drink now - onwards
Surprisingly fine considering the pedigree of the chateau.
