Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes I suspect this 2001 will shut down (as most young Calon-Segurs do), although it appears more forward and evolved than the huge, backward, but totally dormant 2000. The plum/ruby-colored 2001 reveals aromas of damp earth, cranberries, cherries, herbs, and forest floor. While lighter than its older sibling, it… Read More »
Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes A beauty in the elegant, restrained, finesse school of winemaking, the dark ruby/purple-colored 1995 Branaire exhibits a floral, cranberry, cherry, and black currant-scented nose intermixed with high quality toasty new oak. Medium-bodied, with excellent definition, supple tannin, and an attractive, alluring personality, this pleasant, measured yet complex wine… Read More »
Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes Given the performance of this somewhat mystifying but beautifully situated estate in St.-Julien, we might be seeing a resurrection in quality, or at least much more consistency. A beauty in an up-front, supple, sexy style is the generous and savory, dark ruby /plum-colored 2003 Beychevelle. Medium to full-bodied… Read More »
Ratings By Robert Parker 86 Tasting Notes Made in a light, finesse style, this fluid, charming, ripe, medium-bodied 1997 exhibits smoky, black currant fruit, pleasing ripeness, and attractive levels of fruit. It should be drunk over the next 5-6 years for its undeniable easy-going personality.(Wine Advocate #128 Apr 2000) By Robert Parker

The deep ruby/purple-tinged 2005 exhibits notes of blackberries, currants, and hints of smoke and toasty oak in the background. Medium-bodied, with good tannic structure,… Read More »
Ratings By Robert Parker 89 Tasting Notes This impressive effort reveals more layers of flavor than most 2007s. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by notes of black currants, coffee, and white chocolate, medium to full body, surprising density and purity, and a very good finish. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. (Wine Advocate… Read More »

Region Macedon Ranges Grape Riesling Tasting Notes Light green-straw; the power of 40-year-old vines, and the cold and windswept site, invest the wine with intensity and purity, although it often needs some years in bottle to express its quality; the palate has a rare depth and richness of flavour, and its natural acidity will sustain… Read More »
