2011 Chateau Les Allees de Cantemerle Magnum $55
This second wine of Château Cantemerle is primarily comprised of younger vine parcels from the esteemed estate. The wine has a similar profile to the Grand Vin, but is ready to drink within several years of harvest. 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and aged in French oak.
2005 Chateau La Lagune Magnum $220
95 points Robert Parker “This is the finest wine made at this estate since 1982, and possibly the greatest La Lagune of all time. Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by an exquisite bouquet of spice box, incense, sweet unsmoked cigar tobacco, black cherry liqueur, forest floor, and subtle toasty oak. Reminiscent of a Cote de Nuits grand cru blended with a top-notch Bordeaux, this beauty possesses silky tannins, a broad, savory, expansive mouthfeel, and intrinsic precision as well as elegance. Moreover, this fabulous wine is a relative bargain for the vintage. Seamless and prodigious! Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025.”
2006 Chateau Lynch Bages Magnum $390
94+ points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
“Tasted blind at Southwold ’06 Bordeaux tasting. I have always felt that the Lynch Bages ’06 was one of the real treasures of the vintage and this blind tasting verifies that belief. It is ripe and very pure on the backward nose with subtle touches of tobacco and cigar box. Refined and understated. The palate is full-bodied, very well balanced, toasty new oak but there is sufficient ripe black tarry fruit to support it. Great weight and persistency on the structured, dense, masculine, edgy finish. Excellent. Returning after 15 minutes I find this so elegant and brimming with tension. Do not under-estimate this Lynch. Tasted January 2010.”
1978 Chateau Haut Bages Averous Pauillac Magnum $150
Second label of Chateau Lynch Bages
In magnum size this is an amazing experience to drink mature Bordeaux at yester-year prices!
2007 Chateau Maucaillou Moulis Magnum $65
Moulis is located midway between Margaux and St-Julien and contains some of the oldest vineyard sites to be found in the Médoc. The property has been owned by the Dourthe family since 1929. Today Philippe Dourthe is at the helm producing wines of great elegance and structure. 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks and the wine is then aged in oak barriques (35-65% new, depending on the vintage) for 18 months.
2006 Chateau Rausan Segla Margaux Magnum $195
93 Points Robert Parker “On the same qualitative level as this estate’s brilliant 2005, this blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot, exhibits a 1986-like personality, a very successful vintage at Rauzan Segla. Its deep ruby/purple hue is accompanied by sweet aromas of bay leaf, black currants, licorice, truffles, and a touch of toast, dazzling fruit, and plenty of ripe, but not astringent tannin. This is a medium to full-bodied, classic, pure, surprisingly approachable Rauzan Segla that will be at its finest between 2012-2025+”
2006 Chateau Canon St Emilion Magnum $170
94-96 Wine Advocate “A beautiful sweet, slightly gamey nose with bright red berried fruits and hint of Medjool dates. Good definition. Very well balanced with superbly integrated new oak, good acidity and focus. Cassis, crushed violets and blueberry, with an almost Margaux-like finish. Very pretty and beautifully poised. One of the top Saint Emilions.”
2007 Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste Magnum $120
90 Points Wine Advocate “Tasted blind at the 2007 Bordeaux horizontal in Southwold. Here, it has a well-defined, vivacious, pointed bouquet with bright red-berried fruit, redcurrant and cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe, quite plush opening, good acidity, generous fruit for the vintage with a supple, lithe, caressing finish. Tasted January 2011.”
