Chateau Talbot 2005

Ratings By Robert Parker90 Tasting Notes A strong effort for Talbot, the 2005 is more showy and forward than most wines of this vintage. While there is plenty of tannin, it is sweet and well-concealed behind an intriguing bouquet of sweet herbs, licorice, smoked game, black currants, and cherries. This fleshy, medium to full-bodied St.-Julien… Read More »

Chateau Beychevelle 1999

Ratings By Robert Parker 86 Tasting Notes This is a pleasant, medium-bodied 1999 displaying notes of herbs and damp earth in its austere, undernourished personality. Notions of strawberry, cherry, and currant fruit also emerge, but there is not a lot to get excited about in this uninspiring 1999. It will last for a decade.(Wine Advocate… Read More »

Chateau Haut-Batailley 2006

Ratings by Robert Parker 89 Tasting Notes This property, while in the Pauillac appellation, seems to be more St.-Julien-like in most vintages. With silky tannins, its sweet berry-scented nose intermixed with some forest floor and underbrush offer impressive aromatics. The wine is medium-bodied, with silky, noble sweetness, and a fine, pure finish. It should drink… Read More »

Chateau Dauzac 2000

Ratings By Robert Parker 89 Tasting Notes Aromas of chocolate along with roasted meats, charcoal, black currants, and damp earthy scents jump from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-colored 2000. Highly-extracted, medium to full-bodied, chewy, not terribly complex, but big, corpulent, and bold, if it pulls itself together and develops additional nuances, this wine will… Read More »

Chateau Croizet Bages 2002

Ratings By Robert Parker 74 Tasting Notes Vegetal, composty aromas are somewhat off-putting. In the mouth, some sweet cherry and currant fruit makes up for the barnyard aromatics. The finish is soft, pleasant, but decidedly mediocre. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.(Wine Advocate #158 Apr 2005) By Robert Parker

Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz 1992

Region Eden Valley Grape Shiraz Tasting Notes Deep red-purple; a multi-faceted bouquet with a hint of Rh?ne Valley gaminess running through plum, blackberry, mulberry, cedar, leaf and earth; the palate replicates all the flavours plus touches of cedar and cigar box. Despite all this, not quite in the Olympian class of the ’90 and ’91… Read More »
