| Ch. Gazin Rocquencourt |
2016 |
Pessac Leognan  |
$32 |

VM 94 (1/2019): The 2016 Gazin Rocquencourt is gorgeous, radiant and incredibly inviting, just as it was en primeur. Blackberry jam, chocolate, cloves, spice and new leather are all fused together, but it is the wine's textural depth and impeccable balance that make it absolutely irresistible. This is an especially overt, racy style. What a joyous wine this is. Antonio Galloni.
JD 89 (2/2019): The 2016 Château Gazin Rocquencourt is also solid, yielding some lifted notes of cassis, spice and violets in a bright, upfront, slightly modern style. With a charming, rounded texture, good complexity, and a clean finish, this high-quality Graves is going to have 10-15 years of longevity.
WA 88 (11/2018): The 2016 Gazin Rocquencourt is medium to deep garnet-purple colored with baked berries and stewed plums scents with touches of black tea, tobacco and new leather. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a chewy texture and bright freshness lifting the spicy fruit on the finish. |

| Ch. La Fleur Morange |
2010 |
St. Emilion Mathilde |
$50 |

VM 91 (7/2013): Good bright medium ruby. Aromas of blackberry, dark raspberry, licorice, minerals and dark chocolate show liqueur-like ripeness. Sweet, lush, velvety and deep, but with good ripe acidity and violet lift to the flavors of black raspberry, menthol and chocolatey oak. A bit less high-toned and sweet than the "regular" La Fleur Morange, but finishes with noble fine-grained tannins and serious length. Very impressive merlot. Stephen Tanzer.
WA 93 (2/2013): The 2010 Mathilde is 100% Merlot in 2010, and the alcohol is at 15%. The wine is a blockbuster, a delicious, hedonistic St.-Emilion fruit bomb with loads of blackberry, raspberry, black currant and cherry notes intermixed with some cedar wood, forest floor and a touch of toast. The interesting thing about Mathilde is that it is bottled and put on the market much earlier than most of the serious wines of Bordeaux. The Mathilde is probably best consumed in its first decade of life. |

| Ch. Leoville Las Cases |
2020 |
St. Julien |
$230 |

VM 98+ (2/2023): The 2020 Léoville Las Cases has developed into a powerhouse. Then again, that is Las Cases. En primeur, I thought the 2020 was a bit shy, but its true personality has to emerge. Blackberry jam, gravel, spice, menthol, licorice, espresso and plum all saturate the palate. Vivid and explosive, the 2020 is dizzyingly rich, with plenty of Las Cases tannins that will require patience. I am not sure when the 2020 will be ready to drink, but it won't be anytime soon. Las Cases is one of the wines of the vintage in 2020, that much is pretty clear. Antonio Galloni.
JD 98 (3/2023): Another 2020 that's going to demand patience, the 2020 Château Léoville Las Cases is a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated blend that includes 11% Cabernet Franc and 8% Merlot that was raised in 80% new French oak. It's a regal, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, flawlessly balanced 2020 with a pure core of cassis and darker currant fruits, a layered, seamless mouthfeel that carries substantial tannins, perfectly integrated oak, and subtle floral, mineral, and leafy herb nuances. Playing in the concentrated yet focused and structured style of the vintage, it's going to need a decade to hit the early phases of its prime drinking window and will have 50-75 years of longevity.
WS 96 (3/2023): Sleek and slightly austere in feel, with a cold cast iron note framing a core of tightly compressed cassis, plum and blackberry fruit flavors. Shows subtle flashes of tobacco and smoldering charcoal, as the finish lingers with verve. A stoic red. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Best from 2030 through 2045.
JS 98-99 (4/2021): This is incredibly classic in style with so much currant, lead pencil, crushed stone and sweet tobacco. It’s full-bodied with minerally, stoney and powerful tannins. It goes on and one. Real Las Cases here. Solid as a rock. Progresses to violet, graphite and licorice at the end.
WA 96-98 (5/2021): The 2020 Leoville Las Cases is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and 8% Merlot, aging in 80% new French oak barriques, weighing in with an alcohol of 13.68%, a pH of 3.8 and an IPT (tannins index) of 79. The Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from the 21st to the 27th of September, the Merlot from the 12th to the 15th of September and the Cabernet Franc on the 18th and 19th of September. With an opaque purple-black color, it slowly unfurls to reveal beguiling notes of fresh blackcurrants, Morello cherries, candied violets and dark chocolate, giving way to an undercurrent of crushed rocks, unsmoked cigars, clove oil and fragrant earth. The medium-bodied palate is a powerhouse of energy, delivering tightly wound red and black fruits, mineral and floral layers, supported by fantastic tension and incredibly ripe, silt-like tannins. The finish has jaw-dropping fragrance and depth. |

Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru |
$489 |

WA 93-95 (1/2023): The 2021 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru is also a notable success, wafting from the glass with aromas of rich smoky berries, cherries and forest floor, followed by a full-bodied, ample and layered palate that's textural and multidimensional, combining the typical mid-palate volume of this site with the charm and delicacy of the vintage to compelling effect.
BH 93-96 (1/2023): A pungent nose of firm reduction and relatively prominent wood precedes simply gorgeously textured big-bodied and powerful flavors that are blessed with an abundance of sappy dry extract that coats the palate as well as the very firm tannins that shape the hugely long, balanced and youthfully austere finale. This is superb with class and an innate poise. (Drink starting 2036)
VM 94-96 (1/2023): The 2021 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru, which contains 40%-50% whole bunches, has great clarity with brambly red fruit, briary, crushed rocks and sea spray. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, focused though it needs the second winter to bid everything together and fine-tune those tannins. Nice build in the mouth and insistent grip. I like the cut of its jib. Neal Martin. |

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques |
$385 |

|

WA 92-94 (1/2023): Pure and complete, the 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques exhibits aromas of sweet red berries, potpourri, blood orange, spices and vine smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, seamless and fleshy palate, its deep core of fruit framed by sweet, velvety tannins. This shows terrific potential.
BH 92-94 (1/2023): Here too the expressive nose of the essence of red currant and forest floor is cool, airy and very, very floral in character. I very much like the sophisticated texture of the stony and beautifully delineated middleweight flavors that deliver fine length on the austere, serious and linear bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. This presently isn't as complex as the Cazetiers though that obviously may well change over time. (Drink starting 2033)
VM 93-95 (1/2023): The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a tight-fisted and recalcitrant bouquet, quite tertiary, white pepper notes emanate from the 40% whole bunches. The palate is medium-bodied with chiselled tannins, fresh and tensile with wild strawberry, marmalade and crushed stone notes on the finish. Bon vin. Neal Martin. |

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers |

| VM 92 (12/2023): The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has a lot of reduction on the nose, and the wood is far less integrated than the others in the flight. It certainly doesn't hold a torch to Rousseau's Cazetiers. The palate is medium-bodied, with a firm structure, good backbone and commendable sapidity. It is a bit backward and doesn't have the complexity of its peers toward the finish. Again, there is a touch of reduction. It may well find its groove with continued aeration, but I will be prudent with my score for now. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. Neal Martin. |

Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers |
$399 |
3 |
|

WA 91-93 (1/2023): More structured than the Aux Thorey, the 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers opens in the glass with aromas of sweet berries, spices, cassis and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with powdery structuring tannins that assert themselves on the finish, it will require more patience.
BH 91-93 (1/2023): Here the nose is so spicy that blind, it could pass for a Vosne 1er with its aromas of exotic tea, plum and dark berries. The rich, concentrated and solidly powerful medium-bodied flavors terminate in a robust and muscular finish that delivers excellent persistence. This moderately austere effort is going to require at least some patience.
VM 94-96 (1/2023): The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Murgers 1er Cru showed more reduction on the nose compared to the Aux Thorey, although intuition tells me that with age there will be more fruit intensity here. The palate is fresh and tensile on the entry, again, beautifully sculpted tannins, saline and almost sorbet-like towards the finish that fans out beautifully. This will be quite awesome. Neal Martin. |

| Maison Mommessin |
1999 |
Clos de Tart Grand Cru |
$595 |
1 |
|
| |
| VM 93+ (2/2018): Dark red color; looks like a young wine. Expressive if slightly medicinal aromas of dark berries, purple flowers, spices and crushed-stone minerality. Dense and rather powerful if a bit unrefined, with very rich flavors of redcurrant, tobacco, spices and wild herbs conveying a strong impression of extract (perhaps a bit too much saignee here?). A bit less brisk in the mouth than it is on the nose, but with no shortage of acidity. Finishes with a serious dusting of tannins and strong saline persistence. (The tannins in today's Clos de Tart are finer.) This wine may be passing through an awkward stage of its evolution in bottle. Stephen Tanzer. |
