Vins Rouges
89 Château Gardegan, Côtes de Castillon
“Farmed organically, this 100% Merlot, offers lush plum aromas and immediate drinkability. Sweet herbs and cedary notes add complexity to the dark red fruits on the palate.” 90 pts, Barbara Philip, MW 319668 $28
90 Château Le Gay, Pomerol
“The complex aromas of brambleberries and fresh herbs such as lemongrass and Italian basil come through beautifully here, giving a liveliness and focus. Medium- bodied with firm and silky tannins and a racy and refined finish. Tight. Really lovely. More elegant and thoughtful than in the past. Drink after 2029.” 97 pts, James Suckling 272870 $300 Château Gazin, Pomerol “This is really fresh and refined with so much class for the vintage with blackberries, blueberries, violets and minerals. Some coffee beans. Medium- to full-bodied, this has ultrafine tannins and a long and persistent finish. Such balance and harmony for the vintage. Drink after 2030.” 97 pts, James Suckling 328509, 332930 $220 Château Giscours, Margaux “The 2022 Giscours has realized all the potential it showed en primeur , wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of sweet berries, mint, rose petals and pencil shavings. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it’s textural and enveloping, built around lively acids and sweet powdery tannins, concluding with a long, resonant finish.” 96 pts, William Kelley, Wine Advocate 272623 $170
