99 WS / 96 WA Stunning from the start, with a silky and refined feel despite the panoply of dried quince, fig, pear and apricot flavors that are exotic in nature. Lovely green tea, orange blossom and persimmon notes fill in...
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...

97 WS This lively Madeira is defined by loads of dried citrus notes, with off-dry accents of roasted peach, tropical fruit, marzipan and flan. Distinctive smoky details provide an almost peaty subnote. Truffle and forest...
99 RP / 99 WE / 98 WA / 98 WS / 18.5 JR 1970 Taylor is a sensational vintage port that is just hitting its peak of perfection. - Robert Parker, Hedonist's Gazette 10/1/2002 This house must certainly be the Latour...

99 WA / 97 WS Now this is a beautiful wine, flirting with perfection. A deep brown mahogany hue. The nose is divine: warm, rounded and inviting. Sweet red berried fruits, a touch of mocha and roasted herbs. Wonderful...
Please specify which number bottle(s) you would like at checkout. 97 RP A dark ruby-colored wine with noticeable amber/rust, the 1955 Haut-Brion offers a huge, fragrant bouquet of walnuts, tobacco, wet stones, and smoky,...
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...
100 RP / 100 WA / 98 VMActual bottle shown. Tasted 13 Times With Consistent Notes Even allowing for the greatness of Haut-Brion and Mouton-Rothschild, the 1955 La Mission is the "wine of the vintage." It possesses a sweet,...

99 WA Tasted at the Bipin Desai VCC vertical in Los Angeles. Apparently this was undrinkable for the first fifteen years of its life but now it flirts with perfection. It has an unbelievably deep, almost opaque garnet...
98 WS After decades of argument, the debate continues over which Haut-Brion is greater - 1959 or 1961? The 1959, which is certainly less evolved, gets my nod as slightly superior to the full-blown, completely mature 1961...

94 WS One of the wines of the tasting. Fresh and complex, generous in character, with lovely dried cherry and spice aromas that follow through on the palate. Full-bodied, with concentrated fruit and firm tannins,...
100 RP / 100 VM My second encounter with the legendary 1945 Mouton Rothschild, like the first, benefits from being meticulously sourced. This is almost a rerun of that first bottle, which is a bit like saying you had...
89 WS A bit simple even though it retains modest vibrancy on the palate, with blackberry, black currant and cherry flavors.--Mouton-Rothschild vertical.
99 VMI was unprepared for the stunning showing of the 1959 Château Margaux to the extent that I wager I will never meet another bottle of the same quality. Without doubt this stands as the last great Margaux before the...
99-100 R The 1961 possesses a huge nose of coffee, sweet, jammy, black fruits, buttered nuts, and truffles. The syrupy texture, and fabulous concentration, viscosity, and richness were unbelievable. Given its port-like...
Actual bottle...
100 WA / 99 VM Port-like, with an unctuous texture, and a dark garnet color with considerable amber at the edge, the 1961 Latour possesses a viscosity and thickness. One of the three bottles served at the Chateau's tasting...
98 VM / 96 RP The 1959 Latour is a magnificent wine though, I have never met a perfect bottle since January 2000 (a bottle so great I can still taste it now!) This is a great example. The bouquet is more approachable and...

100 WS Perfect in every way. Dark ruby color with anamber edge. Aromas of mint, berry, blackberry,earth and spices pop out of the glass. Full-bodiedand brimming over with sweet fruit character, ripeand velvety tannins. Long...
94 WA I hope more recent vintages, such as 1982, 1985, and 1986, will ultimately rival this great wine. It challenges the finest St.-Emilions in this legendary vintage. Medium ruby/garnet, with a huge, spicy, jammy,...
94 WA / 92 JS Pale brick colour with fragrant scents of mossy wood, potpourri, cinnamon and dried mulberry plus a whiff of espresso. A mature, well balanced Port comes through in the mouth with high acidity cutting through...
92 RP Typically dark and densely pigmented with no sign of browning at the edge, this big, intense, concentrated, still tannic wine has at least a decade of life left in it. The fragrant bouquet offers up scents of cedar,...
