"The 1992 Mouton has fashioned a flattering, soft, opulently-styled wine with medium body, a healthy dark ruby/purple color, and a big, fragrant nose of jammy cassis, smoky oak, and roasted herbs and nuts. The wine offers a sweet, expansive mid-palate and a lush, velvety-textured finish. It is an ostentatious, flashy Mouton for drinking over the next 10-12 years.”

"The 1991 exhibits a moderately dark ruby/purple color, as well as a promising and complex nose of such classic Pauillac aromas as lead pencil, roasted nuts, and ripe cassis. The initial richness is quickly obliterated by frightful levels of tannin, and a tough, hard finish. Although there is an interesting and alluring dimension to this wine, the tannin level is excessively high and the wine is likely to dry out after 10-15 years of cellaring. Readers who admire austere, fruitless wines will rate it higher.”

"Little year in Bordeaux. The Merlot sank and, in general, the wines are a little bony and lacking in flesh. Here the color is good. The nose evokes dead leaves, a vegetal note then, then an animal note. It should be decanted to get rid of a strong smell of reduction. On the palate, the body is medium, but the tannin tasty and still fruity, but the flesh is lacking. An honorable 84 in the context of the year.”

Blend: Typically consist of around 77–81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12–15% Merlot, 3–9% Cabernet Franc, and small amounts or no Petit Verdot

"In weight and texture, the 1981 Margaux is closest in style to the 1979. It is an outstanding wine, even in the company of the monumental wines of 1982, 1983, and 1986, although it does not have the power and weight of these vintages. It is still very dark ruby/purple‑colored. The aromatics suggest ripe cassis fruit, spicy vanillin oakiness, and violets. On the palate, the wine is medium‑bodied, concentrated, tannic, and extremely long. It is just beginning to open and evolve. Anticipated maturity: now–2015”

"The 2014 Latour is one of the very finest wines of a vintage that favored the northern Médoc. Mingling aromas of wild berries and cassis with hints of cigar wrapper, loamy soil, black truffles and classy new oak, it’s full-bodied, rich and concentrated, its broad attack segueing into a deep, tightly wound mid‑palate that’s framed by powdery, chalky tannins and bright acids, concluding with a long, mouthwatering finish. This classically balanced, youthfully structured young wine looks set to enjoy prodigious longevity. It’s reminiscent of a modern-day version of a cooler vintage such as 1996, though of course these days maturity is more complete and selection even more rigorous than was the case two decades ago.”

"The 2005 Château Lafite Rothschild is a magnificent wine with incredible depth, precision, and power. The nose reveals blackcurrant, graphite, cedar, and mineral notes. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated with velvety tannins, vibrant acidity, and layers of dark fruit. The finish is long, persistent, and elegant. This wine is a textbook example of Lafite and is destined to age for decades.”

"The 2000 Château Lafite Rothschild is an extraordinary wine showing incredible concentration, depth, and balance. It opens with a complex nose of cassis, graphite, cedar, and subtle floral notes. The palate is full-bodied with layers of ripe black fruit, mineral complexity, and velvety tannins. The wine’s power is perfectly balanced by bright acidity and freshness, leading to a long, persistent, and elegant finish. This is a benchmark Lafite that will age beautifully for decades.”

"The 1981 Lafite Rothschild is a classic wine showing some development but retaining its elegance and finesse. The bouquet reveals aromas of cedar, tobacco, and dried herbs, with hints of red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, well-integrated acidity, and a touch of earthiness. Although beginning to mature, the wine still maintains a refined structure. The finish is medium-long and graceful, though it lacks some intensity compared to better vintages.”

"The 2016 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Magnum is a spectacular expression of this prestigious estate, showing intense aromas of blackcurrants, blackberries, tobacco, graphite, and spice. The nose is beautifully layered with hints of cedar, fresh herbs, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, boasting firm yet silky tannins that support a rich core of black fruit flavors intertwined with mineral and earthy nuances. The wine has a lively acidity that provides freshness and balance to the dense fruit, culminating in a long, complex, and persistent finish. This magnum bottle preserves the wine’s vibrancy exceptionally well and is expected to age gracefully for decades, offering a remarkable drinking experience.”

"The 2007 Château d’Yquem is an elegant, beautifully poised vintage with aromas of orange blossom, ripe apricot, honey, and gingerbread. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with layers of stone fruit, citrus zest, and toasted almond flavors. It maintains excellent balance between sweetness and acidity, with a fresh, vibrant finish. This wine is less opulent than some vintages but shows precision and finesse, promising excellent aging potential."

"The 2006 Château Cheval Blanc is an exquisite example of this legendary Saint-Émilion estate. It opens with an intensely floral bouquet of crushed violets, potpourri, and fresh spring flowers. These aromatics are layered with deeper, more complex notes of leather, cigar box, and truffle that develop with time in the glass. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied but resolute, showing remarkable precision and finesse. Flavours of dense cassis, plum, and dark cherry are underscored by a vibrant mineral backbone and bright acidity. The tannins are fine-grained and persistent, coating the mouth with a gripping, almost tooth-dusting texture. The finish is long and refined, lingering with subtle spice and earthy undertones. Initially reserved and tightly wound, this wine reveals complexity and balance that make it a truly majestic vintage. The structure promises excellent aging potential, with a maturity window spanning from 2015 to at least 2035, and some critics suggest it may evolve gracefully for even longer."

"This wine offers pure, sophisticated aromatics of blueberries, blackcurrants, peony, and iris, with crayon and inky notes. Smooth and silky, it delivers great energy and intensity, balancing delicate chew, fleshiness, and fine, muscular tannins. Structured yet tight, it reveals iodine, salty graphite, cool blue fruit, mint, and cola. The texture grows on the second taste, gaining mass and flesh, with juicy sweetness on the mid-palate, evolving into a chewy finish. Tobacco, clove, liquorice, dark chocolate, and cedar add complexity. Mouthwatering acidity and precise balance showcase Nicolas Glumineau's skill, creating a svelte, energetic wine with a lot going on. 16% press. 50% production. 65% new oak. 3.7pH."

"The 2024 Vieux Château Certan contains a higher proportion of Cabernet this year (23% Sauvignon and Franc combined) that was picked at 30 hl/ha between September 20 to October 2. That Cabernet is articulated on the nose: graphite and light tobacco scents percolating through the mainly black fruit. This has plenty of freshness and more fruit than some other Pomerol cuvées. The palate is medium-bodied, but there is much more weight and density on the back palate than nearly all of its peers. Distinctly peppery and quite spicy in style, this is one of the few to transcend the strict limitations of the growing season. In some ways, it is an uncompromising VCC that does not have the finesse of the greatest vintages I have tasted over the years, yet there is flavour and substance packed inside this nascent wine. Deeply impressive. This is one of the very few '24s that will oblige bottle age"

"A precise, classic vintage showing depth of fruit, but with beautiful austerity and minerals. Mostly red fruit, with touches of dark cherries and currants. Medium- to full-bodied with very fine-etched tannins and lots of brightness. So long and refined in the finish, showing restraint. 51% cabernet sauvignon, 46.5% merlot and 2.5% cabernet franc."
