44. Château La Dominique, St‑Émilion Grand Cru (L) “The 2019 La Dominique is plump, juicy and super-expressive, all while avoiding the excesses of years past. Succulent dark cherry, plum, leather, licorice, menthol and tobacco are front and center. This is an especially voluptuous, racy style that works so well. Soft, creamy tannins wrap around the gorgeous, persistent finish. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2039.” 95 pts, Vinous 389472 6 bottle limit $150 45. Le Dragon de Quintus, St‑Émilion Grand Cru “The 2019 Dragon de Quintus has turned out nicely, delivering a generous bouquet of rich, plumy fruit and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's seamless and polished, with its sweet core of fruit framed by ripe tannins and succulent acids, concluding with an expansive finish. As usual, this bottling tends to derive from lower-lying parcels on deeper, sandier soils than those that inform the grand vin. Drink Date: 2021 - 2035.” 90 pts, Wine Advocate 39514 $100 46. Château Duhart-Milon, Pauillac (L) “The 2019 Duhart-Milon is showing beautifully, mingling aromas of cassis and wild berries with notions of violets, cedar wood, orange rind, licorice and spice box in a perfumed bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless, it's charming and refined, with a deep core of fruit, powdery tannins and succulent acids. This château is going from strength to strength. Drink
Date: 2025 - 2055.” 94 pts, Wine Advocate 70006
