VM 92 (2/2018): The 2015 Berliquet has turned out beautifully. Sumptuous and inviting, it possesses remarkable depth and fruit intensity. Super-ripe red cherry, raspberry, wild flowers and mint all develop in this gracious, midweight Saint-Émilion. (Drink between 2020-2035). Antonio Galloni.
WA 89 (2/2018): Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Berliquet is a bit closed on the nose, with notions of baked plums and black soil with hints of fungi and bay leaves. The medium to full-bodied palate is a bit hollow with firm, chewy tannins and an herbal lift on the finish. |

JD 94 (11/2017): The 2015 Château Fleur Cardinale is beauty in the vintage and checks in as a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon brought up all in new oak. Offering sensational notes of black cherries and currant fruits, toasty oak, graphite, and licorice, it's medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and gorgeously pure and elegant on the palate. It has fine tannin emerging on the finish and is made in a straight, structured, classic style. Give bottles a year to two and it should drink beautifully over the following 15+. I was able to taste this wine three separate times and, surprisingly, it showed best from a bottle purchased here in the US. It has the purity of fruit that's the hallmark of the vintage and is a gem readers should seek out. This wine is an exclusive of American Jeffrey Davies. (Drink between 2018-2033).
VM 93 (2/2018): The 2015 Fleur Cardinale is terrific. Exotic and flamboyantly ripe, it exudes richness and depth in all of its dimensions. Blackberry jam, grilled herbs, mocha, leather and menthol are all amped up in a dramatic, full-bodied wine that is long on personality. As always, Fleur Cardinale shows the more opulent side of Saint-Émilion. A burst of red cherry jam, spice, new leather, spice, lavender and French oak punctuates the unctuous finish. Tasted three times. (Drink between 2020-2030). Antonio Galloni.
WA 92 (2/2018): The 2015 Fleur Cardinale is a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon matured in 100% new oak barrels for 13 months. Deep garnet-purple in color, it has a nose of fragrant violets, cedar chest and rose hips over a core of chocolate-covered cherries, plum preserves and blueberry pie. The medium to full-bodied palate is rich and plush with plenty of layers and great length. |

| Ch. Fonroque |
2016 |
St. Emilion |

WA 95 (11/2018): The 2016 Fonroque has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and opens with black cherries, kirsch, warm blueberries and spice box scents plus hints of tobacco and pencil lead. Medium-bodied, it has a chewy line and plenty of earth-inspired flavors, finishing just a tad grippy.
VM 93 (1/2019): The 2016 Fonroque has quite a heady, spirituous bouquet of macerated small black cherries, blueberry and crushed violets. The medium-bodied palate offers fleshy ripe black and red fruit laced with orange peel and cedar, building confidently in the mouth toward a precise finish. Alain Moueix’s Saint-Émilion impressed in barrel and just about delivers in bottle. (Drink between 2021-2038). Neal Martin.
JD 91 (2/2019): A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2016 Château Fonroque is a pretty, classy wine that has plenty of tobacco and earthy notes, plenty of darker fruits, medium body, and a supple, lightly textured, balanced style on the palate. It doesn't match the 2015 yet is a beautiful, elegant, nuanced wine to drink over the coming 10-15 years. (Drink between 2019-2034). |

| Ch. Grand Pontet |
2015 |
St. Emilion |
$45 |

JD 89+ (11/2017): I found the 2015 Grand Pontet to be hard to read, with lots of oak and chocolate, yet also lots of fruit. I just never really came together in the glass and is a head-scratcher. I think it will settle down with 2-3 years of bottle age and certainly has potential. (Drink between 2021-2031).
VM 88 (2/2018): The 2015 Grand-Pontet is powerful and dense, but also quite extracted to the point I am not sure the tannins will soften before the fruit starts to fade. Black cherry, mocha, licorice, grilled herbs, blackberry, new leather and smoke all run through a burly Saint Émilion with searing, dry tannins. Tasted two times. (Drink between 2020-2027). Antonio Galloni. |

Pessac Leognan Lightly Scuffed Label |

|
| |
| JS 92-93 (4/2017): The mineral and tar character with hints of white pepper is at the forefront of the nose here. The palate’s defined by a medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh finish. More phenolic than the 2015. |
|
| Ch. les Cruzelles |
2016 |
Lalande de Pomerol |
$39 |

|

VM 93 (1/2019): The 2016 Les Cruzelles is every bit as captivating from bottle as it was from barrel. Dense, pliant and inviting, the 2016 has so much to offer. Black cherry, plum, menthol, licorice, new leather and lavender all run through this super-expressive, pliant Lalande de Pomerol from Denis Durantou. The 2016 offers a striking combination of fruit intensity and structure. I loved it. Antonio Galloni.
JD 92+ (2/2019): From more clay soils, the 2016 Château Cruzelles is a darker, more structured effort and offers plenty of blackcurrant fruit, notes of smoked earth, gravelly minerality, and underbrush, medium to full body, and a balanced, beautifully layered style. The 2016 vintage is loaded with high-quality wines that represent terrific values and this is one of them. Drink it over the coming 10-15 years.
WA 92 (11/2018): The medium garnet-purple colored 2016 Les Cruzelles gives up notes of raspberry preserves and chocolate-covered cherries with touches of unsmoked cigars and tilled soil. Medium-bodied and softly textured, the palate delivers loads of red and black fruits with a velvety texture and lively finish. |

| Ch. Montlandrie |
2016 |
Cotes de Castillon |
$29 |

JS 92-93 (4/2017): Very fine and polished with pretty tannins, balance and fruit. Medium-bodied, fresh and clean. All about clarity.
WA 91-93 (4/2017): The 2016 Montlandrie is a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon picked between 3-17 October. It was picked at 40 hectoliters per hectare and raised in 60% new oak (although my sample was from a one-year-old barrel). It is the first vintage to include more than 80% of the vines that were planted by Denis Durantou after 2008. This has a more broody bouquet than the two Lalande-de-Pomerols, just a touch of leafiness originating from the Cabernet Sauvignon that enhances the complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with fine structure, more saline than the Les Cruzelles, backward at the moment, but the Cabernets impart some lovely graphite notes on the saline finish. Superb. Expect this to land towards the top of my banded score once in bottle.
VM 88-91 (4/2017): The 2016 Montlandrie is powerful and bold to its core. Layers of dense, dark fruit, chocolate, lavender spice and sweet oak saturate the palate. Dense and voluptuous, this racy wine from Denis Durantou is packed and ready to deliver maximum pleasure upon release. Tasted two times. Antonio Galloni.
WS 89-92 (4/2017): Fresh and engaging, with lovely raspberry and plum fruit, backed by a pronounced minerally edge. Shows a slightly firm spine through the spice-tinged finish. |

| JS 91-92 (4/2017): Tight and chewy young red with plum and berry character plus hints of tobacco. Medium body and a solid core of fruit and tannins. |

| Ch. Sansonnet |
2017 |
St. Emilion |
$35 |

JS 92-93 (4/2018): Iodine and dark fruit with blackberry and blueberry character. Hints of moss. Medium to full body and firm tannins.
VM 91-93 (5/2018): The 2017 Sansonnet was cropped at 21hl/ha from 6.96-hectares of vine on limestone soils surrounding the Maison. It was picked from 19 September to 1 October and it is matured in 100% new oak and two 7.5hl amphora used for the Merlot. It has a fresh bouquet with red cherries, crushed strawberry and a touch of black truffle. This is quite refined. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, crisp acidity, conveying a fine sense of energy with a precise finish that disguises the new oak with some style. Excellent. Neal Martin.
WA 90-92 (4/2018): The present blend of the 2017 Sansonnet is 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it offers up notions of crushed blackcurrants, wild blueberries and black raspberries with wafts of pencil shavings, tobacco leaf and lavender. Medium to full-bodied with a firm frame of grippy tannins and just enough freshness, it has just enough vibrant fruit to flesh out the structure and good length.
JD 90-92 (4/2018): A perennial overachiever, the 2017 Château Sansonnet is a hidden gem in this complex, irregular vintage. Black cherries, blueberries, violets, and hints of underbrush give way to a medium-bodied, rounded, supple, beautifully polished red that has sweet tannin and nicely integrated acidity. This estate was relatively unaffected by the April frost. The rough blend is 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc, harvested between the 19th of September and the 5th of October, representing roughly 65% of the total production. It’s still aging in 100% new French oak.
WS 89-92 (4/2018): Shows a light coffee and ganache frame around a core of lightly steeped plum and blackberry fruit. Toast drapes on the finish. Offers more heft than cut, but remains solid. |

| JS 91-92 (4/2017): A dense and very pretty red with blueberry, plum and cherry character. Hints of chocolate. Full body, firm and velvety tannins and a juicy finish. Excellent fruit density. |

2016 |
St. Estephe |

VM 93 (1/2019): The 2016 Le Marquis de Calon Ségur is just as gorgeous from bottle as it was from barrel. The high percentage of Merlot comes through beautifully in the wine's succulent, racy personality. Raspberry jam, mocha, white flowers, spice and blood orange all race through this succulent second wine from Calon Ségur. Best of all, the 2016 will be ready to drink upon release. Tasted three times. (Drink between 2019-2031). Antonio Galloni.
JD 91 (2/2019): The second wine of Château Calon-Ségur, the 2016 Marquis de Calon is a medium-bodied, soft, hard to resist effort that has plenty of sweet red and black fruits, some dried herb and spicy aromatics, moderate tannins, and a great finish. It shows the balance and purity of the vintage and is an outstanding Saint-Estephe to drink over the coming 10-15 years. This cuvée is a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, brought up in 30% new oak. (Drink between 2019-2034).
WA 90 (11/2018): Blended of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 17 months in 30% new French oak, the 2016 Le Marquis de Calon-Ségur has a deep garnet-purple color and gives up gregarious scents of chocolate-covered cherries, black raspberries and cassis with hints of violets and cinnamon stick plus an underbrush hint. The palate is medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy with a good core of layered black fruits and a perfumed finish. |
