As usual, the 2005 Branaire-Ducru is one of the more distinctive wines of St.-Julien. Proprietor Patrick Maroteaux has turned out another classic. While not as opulent or fleshy as the 2003, and it remains to be seen if it will... Read More

2009 Château Cap de Faugères - Côtes de Castillon Bordeaux

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France | Size: 750ml

WA 91

The 2009 is possibly the best Cap de Faugeres yet made, a sleeper of the vintage, and a realistically priced one at that. A blend of 85% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon that hit 14% natural alcohol, the... Read More

2009 Château Carbonnieux - Pessac-Léognan White

Varietal: Bordeaux Blanc | Location: France | Size: 750ml

WS 89

WA 90

Because of both time and space constraints, I am not able to provide tasting notes for the 2009 dry white Bordeaux, but it is an extremely strong vintage. Most châteaux equaled the dazzling quality of the 2007 dry whites. That... Read More

The powerful 2010 is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc and the balance mostly Merlot except for dollops of Petit Verdot and Carmenere that achieved 14.5% natural alcohol - a record at Clerc Milon. An intense... Read More

2008 Chateau Clos Marsalette - Pessac-Leognan

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: United States | Size: 750ml

1998 Château Coutet - Barsac (375ml)

Varietal: Barsac | Location: France | Size: 375ml

Plenty of honey, lemon and lime in this young wine. Medium-bodied, medium sweet, with a spicy finish. Rather short really. Slightly disappointing for this estate. Score range: 85-89

The 2005 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape is a wine that probably needs 7-10 years of bottle age. Possibly the most backward and closed Beaucastel made since the 1995, the wine has very high tannins, seems totally closed aromatically,... Read More
