Vins Rouges
60 Château Corbin,
St‑Émilion Grand Cru “The 2022 Corbin has turned out beautifully, offering up sweet aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with hints of licorice, bay leaf and iris. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s velvety and enveloping, with the suave, polished profile typical of this sector, married with an unusual dimension of power and volume.” 94 pts, William Kelley, Wine Advocate 348803 $85

Le Comte de Malartic, Pessac‑Léognan
“Notes of dark berries, cassis, mulberries and spices preface the 2022 Le Comte de Malartic, a moderately weighted, round and supple Pessac‑Léognan framed by structured tannins and concluding with a gourmand, delicate finish.” 88 pts, Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate 348816 $55 Cos d’Estournel, St‑Estèphe “Wow. So intense and spicy with nutmeg, cloves, ink and blackberries. Also asphalt, lead pencil and tobacco. Full-bodied, but at the same time, there’s a real balance giving incredible depth and length. The tannins are all there but are polished as well as firm. Superb structure. A neoclassical Cos, one for long-term aging. Perhaps the best ever. A blend of 61% cabernet sauvignon, 37% merlot, 1% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. Drink after 2030.” 99 pts, James Suckling 272763 $550
