98 VM / 97 RP / 94 WS / 18 JR *Actual bottle shownThe 1928 Gruaud-Larose is an astonishing wine. I can still remember the first time I encountered it at a vertical in 2007. This second encounter testifies an era when this...
98 DE Good things come to those who wait. The last two pipes (casks) of a wine set aside 125 years ago were bottled earlier this year. The 1896 vintage was a watershed for the Port trade as it was much the best harvest...

100 RP / 98 VM 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, cedary, clove, smoke, and black-raspberry-scented nose, and rich,...
To celebrate the 200-year anniversary of Château Montrose, the Bouygues family released an exceptional, custom-designed case in a limited edition of 200. It includes three numbered bottles in...
96 VM This is the third bottle of 1945 Cheval Blanc that I have tasted, and to be frank, I have never rated it equal to vintages such as 1934, 1948 or 1949. The bouquet is a bit too loose-knit and lacks the cohesion and...

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...
92 BH A fully mature and seriously pretty nose of spice, earth, underbrush and an interesting hint of the sauvage combines with delicious, round and rich flavors that offer excellent depth and almost none of...
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...
99 WA / 97 JS / 96 RP The 1948 Cheval Blanc may well constitute the most unheralded legendary wine of the 20th century, in no small part because it precedes the 1947. However, after years of several mavens lionizing this...
98 VM The 1955 Cheval Blanc is utterly divine – even better than the bottle tasted in 2014. Quite clear and deep in color, it is blessed with a heavenly bouquet: ripe and vivacious red fruit, iodine,...
98 WA / 95 JS / 18.5 JR If someone told you they kept a wine for 84 years in barrel before bottling, you'd think they are nuts, right? Well, that's what the folks at Toro Albalá in Aguilar de la Frontera - in the...
99 VM / 98 AG The 1921 Yquem probably has the best backstory of any wine that I have tasted, this glass purloined from the decanter being served to pop star Madonna at the adjacent table in the salad days of my career. I...
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...
100 WA The 1946 Don PX Convento Seleccion produced with Pedro Ximenez grapes dehydrated under the sun at the time of the Second World War, was only bottled in September 2011. This is an extreme wine, my first descriptor was...
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 VM / 100 RP / 100 DE This bottle of 1945 Mouton-Rothschild is my fourth encounter and actually showed better than one poured three months earlier that came directly from the château. Ethereal as always on the...
18 JR / 89 VMActual bottle shown. Half bottle. François Audouze added two unlabelled half bottles to this dinner at the last minute. Bright mid ruby. Very dense and jagged with some tannin still in evidence! Bone-dry...
93 RP Superbly balanced, with lovely, elegant fruit flavors. Quite succulent in style. Medium ruby-garnet, with an elegant, earthy strawberry aroma, balanced fruit and medium tannins.--1959 Bordeaux horizontal...
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...
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...
20/20 JR / 98 VM / 96 WS / A truly magnificent magnum. Very sweet, rich and glorious (a word I see I wrote twice). Long, subtle and hugely enjoyable. Racy, mineral with strong graphite notes. Round and so friendly. -...
On the calibre of the 2015 vintage, Wine Advocates Neal Martin remarked, three weeks in Bordeaux tasting the 2015 vintage from barrel has unveiled a clutch of wines so sublime that they are certain to become landmarks for...
