Aile d'Argent 1993 (750ML)

94 Points It was with much anticipation that I tasted Chateau Mouton Rothschild’s Aile D’Argent 1993. This is the third vintage of the renowned Chateau’s white wine and made from young vines...

99 RP A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, this is clearly the greatest Angelus until the 2000, 2003 and then the perfect 2005. Beautiful, sweet plum, blackberry and blueberry fruit soar from the glass of this...

Ausone 2004 (1.5L)

Ausone 2006 (750ML)

Ausone 2008 (750ML)

98 RP / 98 DE / 96 VM 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...

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 2018 (750ML)

99-100 JS / 98-100 WA / 97-100 VM / 96-99 JD / 98 DE  This is really exotic with wild-fruit character that I have seldom encountered in Ausone. Full-bodied yet reserved and very tight. Amazing depth and purity of fruit...

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...
