79. Château Giscours, Margaux (L) “Dark spice aromas are here, along with rich tannins and structure, just hinting at the wood aging. The wine, from the south of the appellation, has a rich effect, while also having the Margaux elegance. It is beautifully finished.” Drink 2027 - 2045 96 pts, Wine Enthusiast 450484 6 bottle limit $145 80. Château du Glana, St‑Julien (L) “This Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated wine is powerful, while reflecting the Saint-Julien style. It has black truffle and cocoa aromas, ripe black-currant flavors and a freshening shot of acidity at the end. Drink from 2027.” 91 pts, Wine Enthusiast 434186 6 bottle limit $60 81. Château Gloria, St‑Julien (L) “The 2021 Gloria has turned out nicely, offering up aromas of cherries, cassis and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless palate built around ripe tannins and nicely integrated acids. It’s a charming middleweight that will offer plenty of appeal over the next decade and beyond.” Drink 2024 - 2037 91 pts, Wine Advocate 450698 6 bottle limit $100 82. Château Grand Corbin-Despagne, St-Émilion Grand Cru (L) “The 2021 Grand Corbin-Despagne opens in the glass with notes of dark berries, cassis and cherries mingled with notions of spices and smoky new oak. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, it’s ample and generous, its sweet core of fruit framed by supple but youthfully structuring tannins.” Drink 2025 - 2040 92 pts, Wine Advocate 434140 6 bottle limit $85
