Aile D'Argent 2016 (750ML)

89-91 WA / 89-91 AG The 2016 Aile d'Argent Blanc is a blend of 52% Sauvignon Blanc, 46% Sémillon and 2% Muscadelle. Philippe Dhalluin told me that there was more malolactic this year, around 27% of the wine going...

Alter Ego De Palmer 2016 (750ML)

95-96 JS / 90-93 VM / 94-96 GV This is very concentrated yet soft and fresh in texture. Full-bodied and round and mouth-filling. So impressive how it fills your mouth yet remains fresh. It’s so framed. - James...

Angelus 1989 (750ML)

97 WA / 96 RP / 95 WS Tasted at Farr Vintners’ vertical from ex-chateau magnum. One of the finest vintages made at the estate, the Chateau Angelus 1989 has a very intense, powerful bouquet with blackberry, cedar,...

Angelus 1994 (1.5L)

92 WS Angélus continues its hot streak. Super color and concentration for the vintage. Exotic aromas of berries, red fruits, toasted oak and minerals. Full-bodied, with full, silky tannins and a long minty, fruity...

Angelus 1998 (375ML)

96 RP Another great showing for a Right Bank wine, the 1998 Angelus shows a saturated opaque, plum/purple color and a beautiful fragrance of blueberry and black raspberries with licorice, asphalt, truffle and a touch of...

Angelus 2009 (750ML)

99+ RP A candidate for perfection with a few more years of bottle age, this great vintage of Angelus has an almost impenetrable black/purple color and a gorgeous nose of incense, graphite, blackberry liqueur, truffles and...

Angludet 2011 (375ML)

90 RP / 90 JS Robert Parker's Wine of the Day - August 22nd, 2012 This sleeper of the vintage is a round, hedonistic flesh pot with lots of ripe black currant and black cherry fruit, decent acidity, sweet, velvety tannins...

Arcole 2009 (1.5L)

A light-bodied, open-knit red, with direct damson plum and cherry preserves notes backed by modest toast that hangs on the slightly lean finish. Drink now. 100 cases imported. 86 pts James...

Ausone 2000 (1.5L)

100 RP Proprietor Alain Vauthier has produced a prodigious wine that captures the essence of Ausone's terroir. A saturated black/purple color is followed by sensational aromas of ink, cherries, blackberries, blueberries,...

Ausone 2004 (750ML)

94 WA The Ausone 2004 possesses a sensual bouquet that demands more encouragement than the Cheval Blanc. It does not quite have the same complexity or nuance of its fellow Saint Emilion, opting for plusher and arguably more...

Ausone 2006 (1.5L)

98 RP One of the handful of candidates for wine of the vintage is the 2006 Ausone. In fact, while tasting it, I was thinking, is there any estate in Bordeaux that, since 1998, has made as many legendary wines as proprietor...

Ausone 2008 (750ML)

98 RP Possibly the “wine of the vintage,” the 2008 boasts an inky/blue/purple color as well as a glorious perfume of spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, camphor, truffles and crushed rocks. With...

Ausone 2010 (750ML)

98+ RP / 98 JS Alain Vauthier\'s wines have been so remarkable since he acquired full control of Ausone that readers probably feel I have thrown my critical wits away. However, the proof is in the tasting, and the 2010...

Ausone 2016 (750ML)

98-100 WA / 97-98 JS / 96-99 AG / 96-98 GV The 2016 Ausone is a blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc picked 10-14 October and 14-19 October, respectively, at 40 hectoliters per hectare. It is matured in 80% new...

Bahans Haut Brion 2006 (1.5L)

86 WA Tasted blind at Farr Vintners' 2006 horizontal, the 2006 Bahans-Haut-Brion has a fragrant earthy, woodland, almost autumnal bouquet that is well defined and fully mature. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy...

Barde Haut 2016 (750ML)

92-95 AG / 93-94 JS / 92-94 WA / 91-94 WS The 2016 Barde-Haut is a racy, voluptuous beauty. Mocha, espresso, plum, black cherry and smoke race across the palate in a dark, sumptuous Saint Émilion loaded with...

Beau Sejour Becot 2016 (750ML)

93-94 JS/92-95 WS/90-93 AG This is really beautiful in 2016 showing blackberry, blueberry and walnut character. Full-bodied, tight and focussed with fantastic length. Serious. Best ever modern vintage? - James...

Beau-Sejour Becot 1996 (750ML)

92 WA Tasted at the Bristol Commanderie dinner. Not having encountered this vintage for ten years, I was pleasantly surprised by the good showing of this Saint Emilion. It has a masculine nose with blackberry, dark plum and...

Beaumont 2016 (750ML)

91-92 JS A juicy and pretty wine with berry and chocolate character, a medium body and a clean finish. Clearly better than the 2015. - James...

Beauregard 2016 (750ML)

93-94 JS/90-93 WS/88-91 AG Tight and linear on the palate with a lovely depth of fruit and polished tannins. Medium to full body and an attractive, fine-grained texture. - James Suckling Juicy, with raspberry, blueberry...

Beausejour Duffau Lagarosse 2014 (750ML)

97 AG / 94 WS / 94 JS An utterly spellbinding wine, the 2014 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse is also one of the unqualified successes of the vintage. Beams of tannin give the 2014 its ample, broad feel...

Beausejour Duffau Lagarosse 2015 (3.0L)

98-99 JS / 95-98 AG / 92-95 WS / 91-93 WA Offers lovely richness, with a very caressing feel to the layers of warm plum compote and boysenberry confiture. Underneath all the fruit is a very fine edged chalky thread, yet the...

Beausejour Duffau Lagarosse 2015 (750ML)

95-98 AG / 92-95 WS / 97-99 GV A dark, brooding wine, the 2015 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse may need twenty years to start drinking well. Today, the 2015 is imposing, with massive concentration and...

Beausejour Duffau Lagarosse 2016 (750ML)

98-99 JS / 95-98+ AG / 94-97 WS / 93-95 WA / 95-97 GV Is this the twin brother of the amazing 2015? We will see. What a superb density and richness with bright and intense tannins that are buttressed with fresh acidity...

Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse 1990 (750ML)

100 RP One of the most singular Bordeaux I have ever tasted, it verges on being port-like, but it pulls back because of the extraordinary minerality and laser-like focus. The wine is massively concentrated, still...

Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse 2001 (750ML)

Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse 2005 (750ML)

91 RP/92 WA While no one will confuse the 2005 with this estates prodigious 1990, it is an outstanding effort from one of St.-Emilions finest terroirs. In terms of potential, the vineyard is exceeded only by Ausone, Pavie...

Bellegrave 2016 (750ML)

Bellevue Mondotte 2003 (750ML)

98 RP It is composed of 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. I tasted the 2003 on three separate occasions, one of which merited a three-digit rating. Sadly, there are only 4,000 bottles of this...

Bellevue Mondotte 2016 (750ML)

95-98 AG / 96-97 JS / 95-97 WA / 92-95 WS The 2016 Bellevue Mondotte is striking. An explosion of fruit and mineral-drenched overtones make a strong first impression. Remarkably nuanced for such a big, powerful wine, the...

Bellevue Saint Emilion 2016 (750ML)

97-98 JS / 93-96 AG This is very exciting this year with a profound depth and power of fruit in addition to mineral undertones. Full and intense. Great finish. Better than the 2015? - James Suckling The 2016 Bellevue is...

Berliquet 2016 (750ML)

91-93 WA The 2016 Berliquet, 25% Cabernet Franc and 75% Merlot, is the third vintage that has seen more emphasis on Cabernet Franc. It has an attractive bouquet with black cherries, a touch of crème de cassis and...

Beychevelle 2009 (750ML)

96 JS / 94 WA / 93 RP 96 Points James Suckling: A subtle, refined 2009 with complex aromas and flavors of currants, smoke, minerals and lead pencil. Full body with ultra-refined tannins and a long, long finish. An...

Beychevelle 2014 (750ML)

95 JS / 94 AG / 92 WA / 92 WS / 91-94 GVWM The 2014 Beychevelle has a very comely, pure bouquet with heightened dark cherry, blackcurrant and wilted violet scents rendering it almost more Margaux-like than Saint Julien. The...

Beychevelle 2016 (750ML)

96-98 WA / 93-96 WS / 94-95 JS / 91-94 AG / 93-95+ GV The 2016 Beychevelle is a blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc cropped at 45 hectoliters per hectare between...

Blanc De Lynch Bages 2014 (750ML)

92 JS / 92 WS A tangy and fresh white with dried-lemon and hot-stone aromas and flavors. A medium body on the palate leads into a flan and cooked-pineapple aftertaste. Drink now. James Suckling Piercing and racy in...

Brane Cantenac 1961 (1.5L)

96 WA Tasted at the chateau with Henri Lurton. Having had the 1961 Brane-Cantenac once before, my hopes were not astronomical since it never made a positive impression. However, this ex-chateau bottle is totally...
