Château Le Boscq, St‑Estèphe “Fresh mint, graphite, liquorice and black cherries on the nose - vibrant and open. Fun and fruity, this expands almost instantly on the palate giving tons of freshly picked berry fruit with gorgeous subtly chalky tannins. Relaxed and calm, this is totally effortless, really finessed but still giving a full mouthfeel and long length. I love the cooling mint flavours all the way through and shot of oyster shell minerality putting the terroir into the glass. Succulent and just really enjoyable. Crack open and enjoy or equally hold on to it for a few years. First year of organic conversion.” 95 pts, Georgina Hindle, Decanter 372774 $65 Château Bourgneuf, Pomerol “Ripe dark fruit with a dusting of tobacco and cocoa powder on the nose. Strong and wide in the mouth, this has plenty of kick and power underpinned by a cool menthol element as well as spiced cedar, liquorice and aniseed. It’s a little potent at this stage with some heat on the finish. Intense but well built, this will need a few years to soften.” 94 pts, Georgina Hindle, Decanter 328465 $130

30 Château Boyd Cantenac, Margaux
“This classed growth estate in the village of Cantenac has produced a wine rich in tannins and black fruit. With a dark berry aroma and black currant and spice flavors, the wine is rich, structured and ageworthy. Drink from 2028.” 94 pts, Wine Enthusiast 272639 $110
