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...

Angelus 1989 (1.5L)

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 1990 (750ML)

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 2003 (750ML)

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 2007 (750ML)

Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse 2010 (3.0L)
