Vins Rouges
69 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou, St‑Julien
“Wonderfully evocative scents on the nose - perfumed and alluring dark berry fruit. Rich and juicy - fully concentrated fruit meets powdery tannins giving a fleshy aspect to the palate. Smooth and supple, slightly chewy fruit give a cushioning before crisp mineral aspects of wet stone, graphite and toasted liquorice come through. Fully flavoured with a long finish. A great wine that delivers the vintage in a stylish way.” 97 pts, Georgina Hindle, Decanter 273166 $550 Château Duhart-Milon, Pauillac “A deep, dark nose of blackcurrants and black cherries, accented by tobacco, cola, and violets. Pure and precise, this makes an immediate impact with its exceptional texture - heavier than Moulin, with more structured, pillowy tannins that cushion the palate. The wide mouthfeel is beautifully balanced by a vibrant acidity that carries the wine seamlessly from start to finish. Dark fruit, integrated spice, and a long, fresh finish create a complete and sophisticated expression. Characterful, seamless, and impeccably balanced, this is an irresistible wine that leaves you wanting more. Elegant yet powerful, with depth and precision. Simply excellent.” 95 pts, Georgina Hindle, Decanter 363773 $190 Echo de Lynch-Bages, Pauillac “Dark currants with blackberries and a touch of pencil shavings. Good perception of freshness despite the ripe black fruit. Tight, full-bodied and fine-grained on the palate. Long, structured and juicy. 64% cabernet sauvignon, 31% merlot and 5% cabernet franc. Give it two or three more years.” 94 pts, James Suckling 363779 $110
