125. Château La Serre, St‑Émilion Grand Cru
“Exhibiting aromas of cherries, plums, sweet berries and vanilla pod, the 2019 La Serre is medium to full-bodied, ample and seamless, with a generous core of succulent fruit and supple, melting tannins. This is a charming wine from a small, four- hectare vineyard located on Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau (near Château Trotteveille) that has recently undergone extensive replanting. Drink Date: 2021 - 2037.” 90 pts, Wine Advocate 39680 $125 126. Château Siaurac, Lalande de Pomerol “The 2019 Siaurac is gorgeous. Pliant and succulent in the glass, with striking fruit presence, Siaurac shows just how compelling the best Lalande de Pomerols are. Red cherry fruit, blood orange, mint, spice and cedar build into the creamy, beautifully layered finish. Drinking Window: 2022 - 2034.” 93 pts, Vinous 392773 $50 127. Château Sociando-Mallet, Haut-Médoc (L) “Redcurrants with sweet tobacco, hazelnut, mint and moist earth, following through to a medium to full body, ultra-fine tannins and a palate that grows at the finish. Needs a minimum of three or four years to come around. Try after 2025.” 95 pts, James Suckling 390925 6 bottle limit $80
