WS 94 (3/2008): There's pure crushed fruit on the nose, with raspberry, dark chocolate and berry. Full-bodied, with supervelvety tannins and a long, long finish. Has wonderful balance and richness. The best young red ever from this producer. Best after 2012.
WA 88 (4/2008): Stylish and elegant, this 2005 has as much in common with a Cote de Beaune premier cru as it does with a Pomerol. Kirsch, raspberry, seaweed, and loamy soil aromas lead to a medium-bodied, finesse-styled claret possessing sweet tannin, pure fruit, and a sensual personality. It begs to be consumed over the next decade.
VM 88 (6/2008): Dark red. Redcurrant, mocha and sexy oak on the nose. Lush, supple and sweet, with red fruit flavors complicated by low-toned game, leather and caramel. This fat wine possesses just enough of an acid/tannin edge to maintain its shape, but I don't find the typical floral notes of this property. This reasonably persistent wine should offer early drinkability. |

WA 89 (6/2007): Attractive cassis aromas jump from the glass of this dark ruby/purple-tinged 2004. While elegant, medium-bodied, soft, and broad in the mouth, it is slightly superficial, without the broodingly deep, backward, muscular personality of this estate’s wines prior to 2001. Given its flavor profile and softness, the 2004 will have wide consumer appeal if drunk over the next 10-14 years.
WS 89 (3/2007): Aromas of currant bush and raspberry follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with velvety tannins and a medium finish. A balanced and pleasing wine already. Best after 2010. 35,000 cases made.
VM 89 (6/2007): Red-ruby. Aromas of redcurrant, tobacco, coffee, mocha and leather. Supple on the palate but conveys an impression of less consistent ripeness than the young 2006, combining sweet plum, coffee and mocha flavors with slightly green notes of herbs and licorice. In a drier style, but the tannins are nicely ripe and in balance with the wine. |

Pauillac |
$189 |

JS 97 (1/2018): This shows spices, pepper, blueberries and blackcurrants on the nose. Full body, very polished tannins and a long and beautiful finish. Shows such gorgeous texture. Precise and transparent. Try in 2022.
NM 95 (2/2015): The Château Pichon-Lalande 2005 that was so divisive at birth but as I expected right from the beginning, this is maturing into a lovely Pauillac. It offers compelling tobacco and graphite scents on the nose, belying the Merlot content of this blend, reserved at first but opening gloriously in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin and well-judged acidity. There is an effortlessness quality about this Pichon-Lalande. ‘tis not the most powerful or decadent Pauillac but its is very sophisticated and refined.
WS 94 (12/2017): Juicy and sleek in feel, with a gloss of singed vanilla and alder over the core of lively blackberry, fig and black currant paste flavors. Singed charcoal and sweet tobacco notes score the finish and leave a mouthwatering feel. A tough decision whether to drink now or wait, as both choices will be rewarded. Drink now through 2035. 22,000 cases made. |

Margaux Heavily Bin-Soiled Label |
$75 |

WS 92 (6/1989): Very ripe and concentrated, perfumy and generous with cassis, chocolate and cedar aromas and flavors, yet neither heavy nor powerful. Actually, it's q uite gentle and supple. Give it until at least 1993 for the tannins to resolve.
WA 88 (3/2001): A vintage that celebrated the thirty-fifth harvest for the late Alexis Lichine, this wine has turned out very impressively. The wine still has a dark garnet color with only a bit of lightening at the edge. The wine exhibits notes of mineral, smoked herbs, and sweet red and black currant fruits in addition to a hint of licorice. The wine is medium-bodied, very concentrated for a Prieure-Lichine, with surprising muscle and tannic power. The wine is just reaching its plateau of maturity, where it should last for at least 5-10 years. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. |

WA 89 (6/2004): A renaissance has been taking place at Prieure-Lichine since esteemed winemaking guru Stephane Derenoncourt was brought in to oversee the wines’ vinification and upbringing. This is a complicated, morsellated vineyard that is neither easy to harvest nor manage, but the 2001 is an elegant blend of 49% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc. It was aged primarily on its lees, given micro-bullage while in tank, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Like many wines of this appellation, it is a pretty, delicate effort revealing a dark ruby color along with floral, red currant, cranberry, and black fruit characteristics, a medium-bodied texture, good density, and an early-drinking style. Enjoy it over the next decade.
NM 89 (10/2007): The nose is lacking fruit concentration and vigour at first with dried black fruits, forest floor and cedar. Lacks a little vigour and vivacity. The palate is a little better, lacking a little harmony but with some nice blackberry and raspberry fruit, leading to a dry, leafy finish with good length. A good wine although in retrospect, nothing near the promise it showed just after bottling.
VM 88 (5/2004): Medium red. Roasted plum, leather and sexy oak scents on the nose. Sweet and harmonious, with fresh acids giving shape to the plum and mocha flavors. Finishes with nicely broad, ripe tannins. |

| WA 90 (6/2007): A sleeper of the vintage, the deep ruby/purple-tinged 2004 Prieure-Lichine is all about finesse and flavor intensity. Not a blockbuster, but rather a wine of sensual appeal, it offers superb aromatics of cherry liqueur, underbrush, cedar, and spring flowers. Silky and soft, with medium body, beautiful fruit, and a depth that builds incrementally, this consumer-friendly Margaux can be enjoyed over the next 12-15 years. This defines charm. |

WA 92 (4/2008): The finest Prieure-Lichine I have ever tasted, the sensational 2005 has unquestionably benefitted from the improvements made at this property as well as the consultation work of Stephane Derenoncourt. Its dense purple color is accompanied by a glorious perfume of forest floor, blackberries, incense, and cassis. Opulent, with sweet tannin for the vintage, excellent purity, and a savory, broad, expansive mouthfeel that lingers on the palate, it possesses the delicacy of a terrific Margaux as well as enough concentration and power to give it an extra dimension. This wine should be drinkable in 4-5 years, and last for 25 or more. Bravo!
WS 92 (3/2008): Black in color, with impressive aromas of flowers, tar, licorice and ripe fruit, such as currant and sultana. Full-bodied, with a solid concentration of fruit and ultrapolished tannins. Better than from barrel. Best after 2011. 15,500 cases made.
VM 90 (6/2008): Bright ruby-red. Cassis, bitter chocolate, nutty oak and a whiff of sweet butter on the nose. Fat, sweet and fairly full-bodied, with mocha and smoke notes and a suggestion of lees (consultant Stephane Derenoncourt does a lot of work with the lees and minimal racking here). At once fruity and solid, finishing with ripe, granular tannins.
NM 88+ (1/2009): Tasted single blind at Southwold. This has a more delicate nose here with black berries, dark cherries and violets but lacking some vigour. The palate is very ripe, fine tannins, nice weight, overtly ‘modern’ in style with lavish new oak although it is very linear and lacking some personality towards the finish. This tasted better in barrel and I hope that it will improve with further bottle age. Drink 2012-2028. |

WA 93 (12/2011): The soft, sexy 2009 exhibits a dense plum/purple color along with a big, sweet bouquet of raspberries, black cherries, black currants, smoke and forest floor. Opulent and round with an attractive viscosity as well as Outstanding purity, depth and length, it should drink well for two decades. While not one of the longest lived wines of the vintage, it is among the most precocious, flattering and charming at present.
JD 93 (1/2018): Muscular and dense with a velvety and layered mouthfeel. Full-bodied, round and beautiful. Juicy. Currant and chocolate. Drink now.
JS 93 (1/2019): Muscular and dense with a velvety and layered mouthfeel. Full-bodied, round and beautiful. Juicy. Currant and chocolate. Drink now.
VM 92 (3/2019): The 2009 Prieure-Lichine was one of the pleasant surprises of this blind tasting, a Margaux that has improved in recent years. It has a superb, very Pauillac bouquet with graphite infused black fruit that is very well defined and neatly integrated with the new oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, very well balanced with quite saline and very persistent finish. Superb. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin. |

JS 93 (12/2019): A floral and lightly spicy red with redcurrant undertones. Medium-bodied with firm, silky tannins that are polished and poised. Give it time to open. Shows depth and intensity at the end. Try after 2022.
WS 91 (3/2020): Caressing in feel, with a silky structure underneath layers of warm plum, blackberry and black cherry puree flavors. Subtle black tea and alder notes curl around the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2030. 13,750 cases made. — |

|
| |
| WA 92 (10/2009): The beautiful 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (from 80- to 100-year-old vines) is a blend of 60% Grenache and the rest equal parts Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault, and Counoise aged in concrete tanks and old wood foudres. An effusively fruity, exuberant effort, it reveals plenty of juicy black currants and black cherries intermixed with lavender, licorice, incense, and forest floor. Full-bodied, dense, and seductive with silky tannins and a long, lush, opulent finish, it is impossible to resist at present, and should continue to evolve for 10-12+ years. |

Gigondas Cuvee Florence ex-Domaine |
$69.99 |

JLL **** (12/2012): Dark red. Smoky air with a touch of green oak on the front bouquet, the oak very prominent. It has a good, rather muscular couch of cooked plum fruit under the oak. The palate resembles the nose: it shows spiced, oaked red plum, damson fruit, then tightens on its oak towards the finish. In a very primary state; it has enough content to pull through, but will take 4 to 5 years. There is Grenache sweetness on the finale, mixed in with its oak that gives it a gummy chocolate touch. It has a three-quarter weight vintage style, the palate marked by an aromatic sweetness. It offers plenty. From 2017.
JD 91-93 (10/2012): A step up in terms of intensity of aromatics and depth on the palate, the 2011 Domaine les Goubert Gigondas Cuvée Florence is a blend of Grenache and Syrah that also is raised mostly in concrete tanks. It offers up a beautiful array of new leather, garrigue, spice, and pepper aromas that are supported by quality currant and assorted darker styled fruits. Aromatic and complex on the nose, this hits the palate with a medium-bodied, soft, round texture, good acidity, and plenty of tannin that emerges on the finish. Upfront and approachable, especially for this cuvee, it should nevertheless evolve gracefully for 10-12 years or more. |

| JD 92 (9/2011): Seemingly more traditional than the Adrastée, yet with an identical elevage and aging in 1-year-old Burgundy barrels, the 2009 Les Halos de Jupiter Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 100% very old vine Grenache from a plot located between Orange and Courthezon, boasts classical aromas of garrigue, licorice-laced raspberry and currant fruits, wild flowers, saddle leather, and a salty, sea breeze-like minerality that shows up more with air. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, with plenty of ripeness that’s balanced by solid focus, ripe tannin, and superb freshness, this delicious Châteauneuf-du-Pape shows best with a short decant, and should continue to dish out pleasure over the coming 10-12 years. |

| VM 88 (4/2011): Bright purple. A complex, mineral-accented bouquet displays black raspberry, cherry-cola and dried flowers, with slow-building smokiness and a hint of cracked pepper. Juicy dark berry flavors become firmer with air and pick up a slight dryness. The peppery note carries through a nicely persistent, gripping finish, which leaves a note of vanillin oak behind. This got 100% new barriques and I wonder if the fruit was up to the lumber. Josh Raynolds. |
