60. Château La Gamaye, Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux “Merlot with a touch of Malbec gives this wine density and approachability. Made for grilled meats.” 90 pts, Barbara Philip MW 412949 $30 61. Château Gazin, Pomerol (L) “The 2019 Gazin has a convincing, perfumed nose of beautifully defined red fruit, light estuarine aromas, touches of crushed stone and even a hint of fig. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit. There is very good depth and substance here, and veins of dark chocolate and allspice toward the finish. The only minor quibble is that it needs a little more finesse. But it is a superb Gazin and a great Pomerol. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2055.” 95 pts, Vinous 39829 4 bottle limit $225 62. Château Giscours, Margaux (L) “A ripe and layered red with lots of currant and chocolate character, as well as some walnut and cocoa powder. Crushed stones, too. It’s full and layered with round tannins and a juicy and plush texture. Crushed velvet that turns to silk. Very cool and long. Plenty going on here. Give it three to four years to come together. But will age beautifully for years to come. Try after 2026.” 97 pts, James Suckling 390974 6 bottle limit $150 63. Château du Glana, St‑Julien “Sporting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2019 du Glana prances out of the glass with flamboyant black cherry preserves, warm cassis and wild blueberries scents plus hints of chocolate mint, tobacco leaf and Indian spices. Medium-bodied, the palate has a beautiful, velvety texture with loads of black fruit and exotic spice flavors highlighted by seamless freshness, finishing on a lingering aniseed note. Drink Date: 2024 - 2038.” (90-92) pts, Wine Advocate 390771 $60
