Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, Margaux “A plush and opulent Pavillon Rouge with plums,
boysenberries and hints of cedar and chocolate. Full- bodied, this has lovely powdery tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Juicy and delicious, it’s so attractive now that it’s hard not to drink. Second wine of Chateau Margaux. 64% cabernet sauvignon, 24% merlot, 7% petit verdot and 5% cabernet franc. Best after 2028.” 96 pts, James Suckling 364048 $500 142 Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases, St‑Julien
“Ripe and well-defined, this ripples with energy in the form of iron streaks that help carry the core of blackberry, black currant and boysenberry reduction flavors. Mouthwatering anise and iris notes bloom through the finish, along with a flash of ink. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2038.” 94 pts, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 364276 $175
143 Le Petit Mouton, Pauillac
“A really flamboyant wine beginning with lots of berries, plums, asphalt and orange peel before turning to blue fruits. Full-bodied and medium round tannins give a softness and drinkability. Long finish.” 96 pts, James Suckling 272928 $550
