Chateau Haut-Brion 2003

Ratings By Robert Parker 95 Tasting Notes The blockbuster 2003 Haut-Brion (13% alcohol) possesses extremely high tannin, but that component is well-concealed by a cascade of mulberry, blackberry, cherry, and plum-like fruit. There is even a hint of figs under the blue and red fruit spectrum. While broad and ripe with a sweet, glyceral mouthfeel… Read More »

Chateau Gruaud-Larose 1997

Ratings By Robert Parker 87 Tasting Notes The 1997 Gruaud Larose is a soft, fleshy effort loaded with olive and licorice-tinged, black cherry and cassis fruit. Smoky, new saddle leather notes also emerge as the wine sits in the glass. Offering excellent richness, medium body, moderate weight, low acidity, and soft tannin, it will provide… Read More »

Chateau Cos d’Estournel 2005

Ratings By Robert Parker 98 Tasting Notes While I am not convinced the 2005 Cos d??Estournel will eclipse the compelling 2003 Cos, it is unquestionably another superb classic from proprietor Michel Reybier and his brilliant winemaker, Jean-Guillaume Prats. Made from an unusually high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (78%) and the balance mostly Merlot with a… Read More »

Chateau Rauzan-Gassies 1998

Ratings By Robert Parker 85 Tasting Notes This elegant, soft, fresh, light to medium-bodied, pleasant wine lacks substance as well as depth. It will provide superficial charm over the next 5-7 years. (Wine Advocate #134 Apr 2001) By Robert Parker

Chateau Langoa-Barton 2006

Ratings By Robert Parker 89+ Tasting Notes This tastes more like a Pauillac than a St.-Julien with its big, beefy, tannic overlay and aromas and flavors of black currants, asphalt, leather, and damp earth. Tannic, full-bodied but almost impenetrably closed and broodingly backward, this is a long-term prospect for those with patience. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2030+.(Wine… Read More »

Chateau Palmer 2000

Ratings By Robert Parker 95 Tasting Notes One of the sexiest wines for drinking now and over the next 10-15 years is undoubtedly the 2000 Palmer. A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, the wine has an almost exotic floral nose, soft, undulating tannins, and tremendous opulence and flesh, with a full-bodied… Read More »

Chateau Calon-Segur 2008

Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot, this is an outstanding wine made in a classic style. The tannins are high, but the wine possesses abundant notes of cedar, licorice, underbrush, black currants and cherries. Medium-bodied and dense, but structured and backward (as… Read More »
