Chateau Lynch-Bages 2002

Ratings by Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes Bell pepper, cigar box, red as well as black currant notes, dusty, earthy tannins, and a medium-bodied personality make for a good but uninspiring effort. Drink the 2002 over the next 5-10 years.(Wine Advocate #196 Aug 2011) By Robert Parker

Chateau d’Armailhac 1996

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes This is a successful and seductive wine. The saturated ruby color is followed by sweet, roasted herb, and black currant aromas with lush toasty oak notes.

Chateau Belgrave 2004

Ratings By Robert Parker 88 Tasting Notes The chunky, dark ruby/purple-tinged 2004 Belgrave reveals straightforward notes of black cherries and black currants, medium body, moderate tannin, and a soft, silky mouthfeel.

Katnook Estate Merlot 1997

Region Coonawarra Grape Merlot Tasting Notes Medium red-purple; the bouquet is at once subtle yet complex, with savoury/foresty aromas which flow through seamlessly to the palate, where they are a little more intense, backed by plummy fruit and supported by soft tannins. One of the many faces of Australian Merlot. -89 pts by James Halliday
