Château Grand Corbin-Despagne (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
Looking for a superb wine that’s ready to drink today? And most importantly, it sells for a song! Look no further. This supple-textured, ripe, round, beauty is packed with licorice, sweet, ripe, red with black cherries, plums, and chocolate. It’s so easy to drink, I wish I had a second bottle!

Château Cos d'Estournel (St. Estèphe)
Fully ready to go with no decanting. Medium/full bodied with a classic nose of black, with red currants, spice, herbs, tobacco and forest greenery. The wine starts off well on the palate, but fades too quickly, with a touch of dryness in the finish. Still, it is a nice wine, with Cos character and worth checking out.

Château L'Evangile (Pomerol)
Before tonight, I never knew what chocolate, covered flowers smelled like, but, now I do! Add to the perfume, marine influences, spice, licorice, and plums, and you get the idea. On the palate, the wine is rich, deep, fresh, vibrant, and a bit structured, with a backbone to the fruit that is typical of the vintage. There is length, purity, and vibrancy. This is probably not going to be an opulently-styled Pomerol. It will always be on the intellectual side. Drink from 2025-2055. 332 Views Tasted Jan 13, 2025 |

2009
Château La Fleur-Pétrus (Pomerol)
Flowers, truffle, chocolate red with black plums, and cherries with a touch of smoke in the perfume let you know you are in for a treat. However, the palate steals the show with its sexy, silky, elegant, polished, soft, and sweet display of fruits. A bit more density would have made this even better! If you have a bottle, it is already offering a show-stopping display of Pomerol. Drink from 2025-2050. 108 Views Tasted Jan 12, 2025 |

1990
Château Trotanoy (Pomerol)
Opening with notes of truffle, smoke licorice, dried flowers, black cherries, and dark chocolate in the nose. The palate is silky, lush, and opulent, in short very Pomerolish, finishing with silky, vibrant, salt tinged, sweet black with red fruits, a touch of cocoa, and coffee bean. This is fully mature and ready to go. No decanting needed. Pop, pour, and enjoy. Drink from 2025-2035. 468 Views Tasted Jan 5, 2025 |

Château Brane-Cantenac (Margaux)
Smoke, tobacco leaves, roses, licorice, and a melange of cherries fill your nose with little effort. As good as the perfume is, the palate is even better. Rich, silky, vibrant, and soft, the touch of salt on the backend really adds to the wines layers of silky, round blackberries, cherries with a dash of chocolate that comes in at the end. At 10 tears of age, 2 hours in the decanter adds a lot to the wine. Drink from 2025-2055. 1,810 Views Tasted Jan 4, 2025 |

Château Léoville Las Cases (St. Julien)
90 is the best vintage of LLC for current consumption. The nose is striking, with its blend of black currants. dark red fruits, spices, cigar wrappers, and a hint of mint. The palate is also up to the task delivering a big mouthful of lively, peppery, chewy, currants in a refined mode that provides true staying power.

1964
Château Lafleur (Pomerol)
Talk about a unicorn, 1964 Lafleur certainly fits that bill. Purchased from the original owner, this is simply off the hook! The nose hits you with tobacco, herbs, flowers, truffles, dusty cocoa, dried mint leaf, and bright, red plums. There is a depth of flavor that keeps coming. There is intensity, a wealth of flavor, and sensations with an exotic spin that is clearly not found in any other wine. This is a wine I hope to see again.

1904
Château Mouton Rothschild (Pauillac)
The color is similar to wine tea. Light in weight, yet, elegant, soft, and refined, it is more of a look at days gone by, than an amazing wine. Still, it had its charms and allowed us to consider this was 120 years and while light, and faded, it was a nice taste for 30-45 minutes. Drink from 2024-2025. 1,833 Views Tasted Oct 13, 2024 |

1964
Vieux Château Certan (Pomerol)
This bottle was on fire from the moment the wine met the glass. Dried mint, flowers, truffles, forest floor, and sweet, ripe red fruits were everywhere. Silky, elegant, and with a depth of flavor that built and expanded on your palate. Fully mature, from a vintage that favored Pomerol, this is going to be hard to find, and provenance will matter, but if you can find a good source, probably an auction, grab them.

Taylor (Fladgate) Vintage (Porto)
A majestic experience. This is everything a great aged Port should be. Lush, opulent rich, deep, and velvety, with layers of sweet, dark chocolate coated, spicy fruits that build and linger, There is warmth but, it is soothing warmth that tastes and feels great.

Château Montrose (St. Estèphe)
It is always an incredible experience tasting bottled history, especially when it is over 100 years of age. History is part of it, but it is what's in the bottle that counts. Fading, but, not faded, it was easy to find the truffle, tobacco cigar box, spice, cranberry, and a background hint of red currants on the nose, and palate. Light in weight, and light in depth, with a pronounced bright character, this must have been incredible in its youth. This is not a wine to hold. But it is a wine to experience, for days gone by.

Château Branaire (Duluc-Ducru) (St. Julien)
Provenance is everything. This bottle rocked! From the moment the wine hit the glass, notes of flowers, spices, wet earth, Cuban cigars, mint leaf, and red currants were all over the place. But, the sun-kissed palate sealed the deal with its elegance, regal bearing, and refined charm. The currant and spice filled finish just kept on coming. This great aged Bordeaux at its best.

Château Canon (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
Elegance galore is what you find here, along with the essence of an oceanic breeze, dried flowers, cigar box, and red cherries. Long, silky and so easy to drink, the bottle was gone far too quickly. It is not a wine to continue holding as it is drinking at its absolute peak, or perhaps past it. Drink from 2024-2029. 1,871 Views Tasted Oct 13, 2024 |

Château Cos d'Estournel (St. Estèphe)
A wine I have always wanted to try, as soon as the wine hits the glass, red raspberries, red cherries, bright red plums and a cornucopia of spies and herbs fill your nose. Medium-bodied, bright, and almost zesty on the palate, there is a firmness in the tannins in the finish. I suspect this is pat its prime. Drink from 2024-2029. 1,587 Views Tasted Oct 13, 2024 |

Château Palmer (Margaux)
The first thing you notice is the bouquet of flowers in the perfume before discovering the essence of tobacco leaf, currants, plums and blackberries. The palate has lift, energy and layers of ripe sweet red and black fruits that linger. This is a beautiful Palmer that would be a success in any vintage. But, in 1999, this is a stunner!

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou (St. Julien)
There is a definitive, minty-edge to the cedar, tobacco, cigar box, and dark cassis packed perfume.

Fully-mature as you would expect, the wine is more on the tertiary side with truffles, tobacco, mint leaf, dried cherries, herbs, and hints of very dark cocoa. Delicate on the palate with bright red fruits interspersed with earthy tones in the soft-textured finish. This is not a bottle to hold for further aging. Drink now. 2,779 Views Tasted Aug 6, 2024 |
