97 WS / 95 RP A big, tough Port for long-term aging. It underlines what people mean when they say a great young vintage Port should overpower one's plate with fruit and tannin. Inky color, with perfumed cherry and berry...

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...
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...

98 AG / 97 WS Another stunning Champagne, the 1975 Dom Pérignon Œnothèque (Disgorged 2007) remains one of the greatest wines I have ever tasted from Dom Pérignon. This bottle is truly spectacular...
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...
Actual half bottles available shown below. Purchased from a cellar in France. Due to the fact there are 2 different labels we contacted Faiveley and they confirmed that at that time there were different labels. A...
98 RP Tasted 7 Times With Consistent Notes The 1961, which I have consistently rated between 96 and 100, is unquestionably the greatest Trotanoy in the post World War II era. The wine's saturated, thick, inky, plummy color...
95 WS / 94 RP Bold pepper, savory and roasted cedar notes lead the way, with a core of steeped plum, macerated black currant and bitter cherry fruit. Extra tobacco, alder and juniper accents stud the finish, which still has...
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 / 100 DE 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...
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...
100 RP One of the wines of the day was the 1950 Latour à Pomerol. 1950 was a forgotten vintage in Bordeaux until I started writing about how great some of the Pomerols were. It is one of those unusual years...
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 DE / 99 JD Actual bottle shown. Per back label was recorked at the chateau in 1991. I have tasted this wine several times over the past few years, and each bottle has blown me away. Now almost 60 years old, it still...
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 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,...
94 VM / 20 JR The 1950 Cheval Blanc was bottled by Berry Brothers & Rudd two floors below where it was opened some 69 years later. The 1950 is a highly regarded vintage, revered on the Right Bank, but poorly so on the...
