37. Clos La Madeleine, St‑Émilion Grand Cru (L) “The 2019 Clos La Madeleine is deep, plush and super-expressive. Bright acids liven up a core of red berry and blood orange fruit. Floral and spice notes give the 2019 terrific aromatic presence as well. All the elements are so well balanced in this vibrant Saint- Émilion. The 2019 is beautifully done. Ifs a very elegant, poised Saint-Émilion to enjoy over the next decade or so. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2034.” 93 pts, Vinous 39837 6 bottle limit $150 38. Connétable Talbot, St‑Julien “The 2019 Connetable de Talbot has a perfumed, well-defined bouquet with a skip in its step, featuring red berry fruit, cinnamon and touches of brown spice. The palate is medium- bodied with grainy tannins. This is a well-balanced Connetable with a bit more body than previous vintages, slightly savory in style and maybe missing a little length. But as a Deuxième Vin, it works well. 13.8% alcohol. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2033.” 89 pts, Vinous 437424 $75 39. Château Corbin, St‑Émilion Grand Cru “The 2019 Château Corbin is a complex, medium to full-bodied effort with the spicy red and black fruit character of the vintage as well as notes of dried flowers, Asian spice, chocolate, and lead pencil. Wonderfully balanced, with ripe yet present tannins, a good sense of freshness, and a great finish, it's going to drink nicely for 15-20 years.” 93 pts, Jeb Dunnuck 389112 $90
