2005 Château Langoa Barton
9/1/2013 - jmccready Likes this wine: 94 Points
Perfect mix of red shades by desk-light after a power failure.
A range of red fruits on nose from cherries, currants, etc.
but all red. Palate of supple fruit and "strict"supporting tannins
yet a bit trim for a ripe vintage. Maintains a traditional claret
lover's
style while satisfying the modern clean fad. Classic and
elegant and one day I might meet Anthony Barton. $80/bottle!
Buy it, age it and open a few now if you must, and rock! JM

1979 Château Calon-Ségur
7/28/2013 - jmccready Likes this wine: 92 Points
Muddy brick, garnet rim, great nose of cherry, red currants and
cedar. Leads to sleek yet mouthfilling body with diverse
terroir-like, earthy flavors on palate. Old classic claret style from
an average vintage but much appreciated by traditional Bordeaux
stylists. Very long finish. Just great. My heart is at.... 92at least

1994 Château La Conseillante
6/26/2013 - jmccready Likes this wine: 90 Points
Deep purple color, tight nose of blue aged fruits, nicely preserved for
the vintage, although a good vintage on this bank. Very textural
and supple, merlot lush and not he grip of right bank
Cab. Sav. but enough supporting tannins. Could last but great
right now. Hedonistic as all fine Pomerol should be.
