CHÂTEAU DUCRU-BEAUCAILLOU 2010 (1)
Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
The classic wet rock, creme de cassis, subtle oak and gravelly stoniness of the vineyard come through in this spectacular, full-bodied, gorgeously pure and intense effort. This is wine for the ages that should be forgotten for at least a decade. February 2013 Drink: 2023-2053 WA 98+
CHÂTEAU LÉOVILLE POYFERRÉ 2009 (2)
Saint-Julien. 2ième Cru Classé
u. 2 x bn
A soaring bouquet of creme de cassis, charcoal, graphite and spring flowers is followed by a super-concentrated wine with silky tannins, stunning amounts of glycerin, a voluptuous, multilayered mouthfeel and nearly 14% natural alcohol. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2040. WA 100
CHÂTEAU SMITH HAUT LAFITTE 2009 (2)
Pessac-Léognan. Cru Classé
The finest wine ever made by proprietors Daniel and Florence Cathiard, the 2009 Smith-Haut-Lafitte exhibits an opaque blue/purple color in addition to a glorious nose of acacia flowers, licorice, charcoal, blueberries, black raspberries, lead pencil shavings and incense. It should age effortlessly for 30-40+ years. Bravo! December 2011 WA 100
