64. Château Gloria, St‑Julien (L) “Showing beautifully, with the polished, pure, elegant style of the vintage, the 2019 Château Gloria sports a deeper ruby/purple color as well as great aromatics of cassis and assorted blue fruits to go with smoked tobacco, cedar pencil, damp earth, and floral notes. I love its purity, and it's just a quintessential, medium to full-bodied, layered Saint-Julien that can be drunk today or cellared for a solid two decades. It should be a no-brainer purchase for the wine lovers out there.” 95 pts, Jeb Dunnuck 390787 6 bottle limit $100 65. Château Grand Corbin-Despagne, St‑Émilion Grand Cru (L) “The 2019 Grand Corbin Despagne turned out beautifully. Readers will find a big, statuesque Saint-Emilion built on vertical energy. Black cherry, plum, graphite, spice, licorice and gravel lend nuance to this explosive, potent Saint-Emilion. Gravel, scorched earth, tobacco and incense lend gravitas on the substantial finish. This is an especially powerful, earthy Saint- Emilion. Quite simply, the 2019 is a flat out stunner. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2039.” 94 pts, Vinous 390779 6 bottle limit $85 66. Château Grand Mayne, St‑Émilion Grand Cru “The 2019 Grand Mayne has a beautifully defined, pure bouquet of black cherry, blueberry, crushed violet and mineral aromas. The harmonious palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, crisp acidity and touches of dark chocolate toward the finish, which displays both power and elegance. This is a superb Grand Mayne courtesy of Jean-Antoine Nony. Drinking Window: 2024 - 2050.” 95 pts, Vinous 389440 $100
