CHATEAU LA FLEUR DES GRAVES 2019

A wine representative of the appellation “Graves de Vayres”. Rich and complex in the mouth, with red fruit aromas intertwines with vanilla, wood and delicate spice flavours. After a delicate attack, the wine grows in strength on the palate, expressing freshness and richness as well as good complex aromas. 90-92 points, Yves Beck. 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot.

MAUVESIN-BARTON - MOULIS-EN-MEDOC 2020

Aromas of black cherries and mulberries with hints of liquorice and dried orange peel. Medium-bodied with silky texture and firm, slightly chewy tannins. Structured and compact with succulent fruit and a lingering finish with some savoury notes to it. 92 points - James Suckling. 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc.

TRONQUOY-LALANDE - SAINT-ESTEPHE 2015

Aromas of blackberries, liquorice and spices. Full-bodied, dense and layered. Shows the structure and muscle of this estate. Needs time to soften and come together. Serious. 94 points - James Suckling. 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 55% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc.

LACOSTE-BORIE - PAUILLAC 2019

The 2019 Lacoste-Borie was impressive as a barrel sample sent to my home last Spring. Now in bottle, it has a vivacious, quite floral, almost Margaux-like bouquet that bursts from the glass, featuring raspberry, rooibos and black currant aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with good concentration, a little spicier that I remember and a little softer in the finish, yet with good length and admirable harmony. 92 points - Neal Martin, Vinous. 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc.

BARON DE BRANE - MARGAUX 2019

Lots of juicy and earthy character to this with tobacco and chocolate to the plum fruit. Medium body. Creamy finish. Fresh. 92-93 points - James Suckling.

The 2019 Baron de Brane is a gorgeous second wine. Succulent black cherry, plum, spice and leather are front and centre. This racy Margaux offers a compelling interplay of bright red-toned fruit and silky contours. Drink it over the next handful of years. 92 points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous. 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot.

CHATEAU LE COTEAU "ANTHOPHORA" - MARGAUX 2019

The grapes picked at optimum maturity are vinified in new 500-litre barrels. Picked gently by hand, they will release the best of the land that saw them born. Once the cooper has come to close the barrels, gentle and respectful maturing begins. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
