VINS ROUGES 1. Château d’Aiguilhe, Bordeaux (L) “Offering up aromas of sweet cherries, dark berries, licorice and flowers, the 2021 d’Aiguilhe is medium to full-bodied, concentrated and polished, with a tangy spine of acidity, beautifully refined tannins and a long, penetrating finish. This is a terrific effort from the von Neipperg family’s organically farmed Castillon estate.” 89-91 pts, Wine Advocate 430237 6 bottle limit $50 2. Alter Ego de Palmer, Margaux “Lush berry aromas and layers of wood give this second-label wine its rich character. It has black-pepper spice and solid tannins along with structured, opulent black fruits. Drink from 2027.” 95 pts, Wine Enthusiast 434173 $160 3. Château Angélus, St-Émilion Grand Cru (L) “Rich and dense aromatics, lovely black cherry and dried flowers, the Cabernet Franc bringing all the aromas. Supple and smooth, so alive in the mouth yet this has density and depth, something to chew on. It’s not plush, but there’s texture from start to finish, with delicacy and finesse to the expression. A highly drinkable Angélus that has really benefited from dialling back on the power. Great freshness and precision, while feeling as if it will age well. Impressively keeps the structure and density but with energy.” Drink 2026 - 2049 96 pts, Decanter 434178 2 bottle limit $1,000
