2009 Château Beau Séjour Bécot, 1er Grand Cru Classé St Emilion2013-204312 Bottles£520.00TBA
- "A great effort from the Becot family and their consultant, Jean Philippe Fort, the 2009 is a blend of 70% Merlot and the rest equal parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is one of the highest-octane wines of St.-Emilion at 15% alcohol. Yields were very small (27 hectoliters per hectare) with the harvest taking place between October 10 and 14. The wine has an inky bluish/purple color and a big, powerful nose of raspberry confiture intermixed with crushed rock, licorice, and a very subtle hint of wood. A wine of enormous density, power, full-bodied richness and viscosity, it has good vibrancy and a boatload of tannin, but it is all seamlessly integrated in this colossal effort. Give it 3-5 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 30+ years. 93-95" Robert Parker

It has taken a while for the proprietors, the Wertheimer brothers (the owners of Chanel and the Margaux estate Rauzan-Segla) to get Canon back to its former glory. Yields in 2009 were 35 hectoliters per hectare, and the harvest occurred between September 28 and October 5. The blend is 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, with a natural alcohol level of 14%. Dense ruby/purple and full-bodied, with terrific blueberry and raspberry fruit intermixed with spring flower garden scents, with extraordinary density, purity, and a multi-layered texture, this is a prodigious Canon with sweet tannins and lots of viscosity.

It is a full-bodied, opulently concentrated wine of amazing richness, density, and intensity. As with the grand vin, the harvest began on September 26 and finished on October 10.

Purchasers will have to decide for themselves, but this compelling effort is one of the all-time great Ducru Beaucaillous. It is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot that achieved 13.5% natural alcohol, and, remarkably, despite the fact that 90% new oak was utilized, not a hint of wood can be found in either the aromatics or flavors. This inky/purple-hued, unctuously textured 2009 reveals layers and layers of blue, red, and black fruits, and hints of licorice and spice box. Despite its substantial, massive size, it retains an elegant style, but will need 3-5 years of cellaring. It should last for 40+ years. 96-98+" Robert Parker

Full and opulent with nobility, finesse, purity and elegance, this amazing effort possesses extraordinary levels of extract as well as formidable, but sweet, well-integrated tannins.

Certainly it will take its place in the pantheon of all the great La Mission Haut-Brions ever made. There are 6,000 cases of it, made from a blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc. The natural alcohol hit 14.7%, which far exceeds the perfect wines of 1982, 1989 and 1990. Opaque purple in color, with an extraordinary nose of blueberry liqueur intermixed with camphor, charcoal, hints of burning embers and truffles, and loads of black berry and black currant fruit, the wine has sublime concentration and purity, a finish that goes well past 60 seconds, and not a hard edge to be found in this sumptuous, almost over-the-top, full-bodied wine of enormous power and massive density and richness.

It obviously missed all the damaging hail in mid-May of 2009, and was harvested between October 5 and 15. Everything here is done with extraordinary gentleness and precision. The result is a powerful, full-bodied, remarkably intense wine that is black/purple in color. It will require considerable patience, much like 2000 and 2005. It displays enormous creme de cassis and boysenberry fruit with some cherries, spice box, and crushed rock in the background. It is intense, with loads of minerality, huge extraction, massive power, yet again, the vintage character seems to have given it a freshness and vibrancy despite the wine’s obvious viscosity.

2009 Château Troplong Mondot, Grand Cru Classé St Emilion2015-205012 Bottles£1,050.00TBA
- "I tasted this wine four separate times, with three tastings extremely consistent, and one tasting showing slightly more noticeable and astringent tannin. Do I think it is going to be as prodigious as the 2005? No, but it is a compelling Troplong Mondot, and probably more approachable than the 2005 has been in its youth. This is a large vineyard, nearly 80 acres in size, and part of it had hail damage in May. They are late-harvesters, the Merlots were picked through October 10 and the Cabernet finished October 20, with very low yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare, no doubt due at least in part to the hail damage. Alcohols on lots chosen for the grand vin are very high, between 14.5 and 15.5. The wine is inky purple in color, displaying beautiful creme de cassis, licorice, subtle smoke and graphite notes, enormous body, juicy, viscous texture, good vibrancy, a skycraper-like, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, and a whopping long finish of 40+ seconds. This is a great wine, probably more hedonistic and voluptuous than the 2005, but ultimately a tiny notch below that virtually perfect Troplong Mondot, which still gets my nod as the best ever made. This wine should evolve for at least 30-40 years. 94-97" Robert Parker

- Part of the Sauzet holding of Folatières abuts Chevalier – which goes a long way to explaining the outstanding quality of this cuvée. "This possesses the most elegant nose to this point with an ultra-pure array of fresh citrus, white flowers and extract of stone aromas that complement to perfection the intensely mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that possess superb detail as well as excellent depth on the crystalline, long and explosive finish. This is a terrific Folatières and entirely classic in character. 93" Allen Meadows

- "An exceptionally fresh and airy nose offers up notes of lemon-lime, pear, acacia blossom and wet stone where the latter element is also reflected by the beautifully well-delineated, intense and mouth coating middle weight flavors that culminate in a balanced and even racy finish. I very much like the underlying sense of tension that is present on the backend. 92" Allen Meadows

- "White peach with hints of spruce resin, scrub, and quarry dust in the nose of Donnhoff's 2008 Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Grosses Gewachs prepare the way for a subtly oily-textured, sappy, peachy and resinous palate concentration accented by grapefruit peel and white pepper. This clings and invigorates with dramatic grip and energy while remaining coolly herbal and mineral, a mounting sense of salinity drawing out your saliva. As it opens to the air, a classic sense of layering of mineral, fruit, herb and spice becomes more clearly visible, but a dynamic sense of oscillation of flavors also remains. Look for this profoundly complex, intriguing, reserved yet startlingly powerful Riesling to evolve fascinatingly for 10-12 years. 94" Robert Parker

It, too, is more overtly structured, powerful and less fruit-forward than the 2007, but its focus and drive are commendable. The wine seems to hover on the palate with an ethereal expression of dark fruit, smoke, licorice, tar and menthol, all of which are backed up with substantial heft and sheer muscle. This is a marvelous effort from Gaja and will appeal most to readers with a preference for sturdy, age-worthy wines. 97" Robert Parker

2004 San Leonardo, Tenuta San Leonardo x 62014-20246 Bottles£175.00£223.20
- Only produced in fine vintages, San Leonardo is the estate’s flagship Grand Vin. The outstanding 2004 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc & 10% Merlot, with each of the three varietals vinified and aged separately prior to blending and bottling. Maturation lasts 24 months in a combination of new, one year old and two year old wood, with only the best barrels making the final selection.
"The estate’s 2004 San Leonardo is probably the finest wine I have ever tasted from this property. Gorgeous, well-defined aromatics lead to layers of sweet dark fruit, grilled herbs, cassis, plums and blackberries, all framed by finessed tannins. The wine remains quite primary, muscular and in need of serious aging, but even at this early stage it is clear that the 2004 San Leonardo is awesome juice. 93" Robert Parker

Seriously complex as well as packed with masses of rich, ripe fruits, this is a wonderful fine wine bargain, for drinking this coming winter and over the following decade.
"The 2005 Villa Gresti (90% Merlot, 10% Carmenere) is elegant and harmonious as it caresses the palate with tons of super-ripe dark fruit, grilled herbs, minerals and new leather. The wine turns brooding on the palate, as notes of scorched earth, smoke and tobacco emerge, adding further complexity. This is a very serious and totally delicious wine from Tenuta San Leonardo. 92" Robert Parker

- “Sesti's 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is a tightly wound, focused offering imbued with scorched earth, smoke, licorice and red cherries, all of which flow from an authoritative, powerful frame. It remains one of the firmer wines of the vintage, but there is a lot to like. Suggestions of smoke and tar reappear on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. 92” Robert Parker

2006 Brunello di Montalcino, Sesti, Castello di Argiano2011-202112 Bottles£435.00£549.00
- "The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is beautiful and undertstated in its soft red fruit, tobacco, rosemary, underbrush and crushed flowers. This is a delicate, pretty Brunello that impresses for its overall balance and sense of harmony. There is an element of quirkiness that I find fascinating. Sweet red cherries, flowers and licorice linger on the textured finish. The estate’s Brunello spent a full 36 months in oak prior to being bottled unfiltered. 92" Robert Parker

2003 Buona Fede, Sesti, Castello di Argiano2008-201512 Bottles£160.50£219.00
- The Buona Fede is a halfway-house between Rosso and Brunello as it is aged for one year longer in oak than the Rosso, but not long enough to qualify for the Brunello label. Distinctive savoury aromas and densely packed with fruit on the palate. Truly a mini Brunello.

Texturally silky and refined, the 2003 Riserva shows wonderful balance, tons of class and a highly appealing personality. The 2003 Riserva is already somewhat forward in its aromas and flavors, though, which suggests it isn’t built for the long haul. I vastly prefer the 2002 Riserva here, as it shows more brilliant color, correspondingly fresher flavors and the potential for longevity I consider essential for a wine of this pedigree and price. 93" Robert Parker

- When Pascal refused to sell this section of his vineyard to the local council to be turned into a parking lot, they took away its appellation status – hence it is a Vin de Table. And Vin de Table is not permitted to carry a vintage (though a ‘lot number’ is permitted!). Pure Pinot Noir gives a pale pink colour. Very floral white and pink flowers and raspberries. Confit grapes. Sweet and yet very precise nose. The palate is dominated by ripe crushed raspberries with hints of white pepper spice and attractive grapefruit notes. Very crisp and dry – a structured very grown up rosé. This has to be the purest most precise and floral rosé any Cotat has made in at least 10 years. Stupendous!

- "The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape blanc (80% Roussanne and the rest Marsanne, Picpoul, and Bourboulenc) possesses classic notes of orange marmalade, honeysuckle, and rose petals, a full-bodied, unctuous texture, gorgeous purity and richness, and a stunningly long finish. It can compete with the finest full-throttle, dry whites of France as well as the world. It is difficult to find a better white Chateauneuf du Pape than Beaucastel. Much like their reds, their whites are made in a style that is atypical for the appellation. It is put through full malolactic, and one-third is barrel fermented, then blended with the two-thirds that is aged in tank. Extraordinarily rich and honeyed, it is ideal for drinking with intensely flavored culinary dishes. 94" Robert Parker

Made from the same blend as the 2008, the 2009 sees some new oak (15%), but that component is totally hidden by copious notes of quince, honeyed citrus, peaches and apricots. With good acidity as well as a full-bodied mouthfeel, this stunning white should evolve for 7-8 years or longer. 94-96" Robert Parker

This dark plum/purple/black-tinged effort displays notes of cassis, licorice, camphor, incense and marinated Provencal olives.

2010 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc, Clos des Papes2011-201912 BottlesTBATBA
- "The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape blanc may be the finest white wine I have ever tasted from Clos des Papes. An equal part blend of every authorized varietal in Chateauneuf du Pape (six different grapes), it exhibits terrific fruit intensity, lots of quince, anise, nectarine and white peach notes, a full-bodied mouthfeel, terrific purity, a hint of honeysuckle and a layered, long finish. This stunning white Chateauneuf du Pape should drink nicely for 3-4 years, possibly longer. The malolactic is always blocked in this cuvee, and the wines have an uncanny ability to age for ten or more years in many vintages. 94" Robert Parker

2006 Coudoulet de Beaucastel Rouge, Côtes du Rhône, Domaines Perrin2008-201512 Bottles£124.50£175.80
- The 2nd wine of the famous Château de Beaucastel, we have a very few cases left at this exceptionally sharp primeur price. “…another sleeper of the vintage. Attractive sweet kirsch notes intermixed with incense, dried herb, ground pepper, and new saddle leather, with a hint of animal fat are superimposed on a wine with superb fruit, medium to full body, a lush mid-palate, and tangy acidity in the finish. 90-92.” Robert Parker.

Extremely rich, with deep red and dark berry liqueur flavors complemented by smoked meat, anise and floral pastille. Reminds me of a Bonneau wine in its borderline port-like intensity and unlikely freshness. Singular and compelling. 92-94" Stephen Tanzer

- “The traditional 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape displays delicious resiny, lavender, garrigue, and kirsch notes, loads of red fruits, deep, medium to full-bodied flavors, silky tannins, and outstanding purity and length. It is a blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre, and 5% the other red grapes of the appellation. This is a beauty and no doubt the best buy among this trio of offerings. It should drink well for 12-15 years. 90-93” Robert Parker.
