2010 Château Pavie Macquin
1/23/2021 - Marquis73 Likes this wine: 94 Points
Lovely and classy; a bottle that is starting to find its balance. Not (yet?) sophisticated on the nose and the palate, but surely precise, with an evident purity and structure. Muscular yet refined. Noble but not aristocratic. Dark fruits dominance at this stage, fleshy. Hints of Chalk and graphite. Fine tannins and acidity. This has yet to evolve further more but is already a real pleasure to drink. Medium + finish with a saline note. Let it breath well.

2016 Château Calon-Ségur
12/20/2020 - Marquis73 Likes this wine: 96 Points
One word: Stunning! Despite its youth, drinking this beauty is so pleasurable and gourmand.
Red / dark fruits dominance at this stage, chalk, mineral, saline finish, lovely acidity and fine tannins that announce many years of evolution ahead, yet already so smooth and silky. Shows great technical expertise in the making. Although very good now, this Calon will surely reward patient owners and cellaring. I was lucky to have secured few bottles and looking forward to drink again in few years. Finally understood the hype that has been accompanying Calon the past few years :)

2015 Château Rauzan-Ségla

Simply stunning! Surely young yet approachable and already haunting. After an hour of decanting, the nose opened up with delicious aromas of red fruits, violets, rose petals, graphite, sweet peper. Full bodied, already balanced despite a bright acidity, and round tannins. Velvety and smooth. The palate is as rich, featuring Several layers and a langourous finish. In 2 words: Elegance and Power. A joy to drink. 14.5%
