Chateau du Tertre 2003

Ratings By Robert Parker 90 Tasting Notes This dark ruby/purple-colored, luscious, soft, already complex 2003 offers alluring notes of smoked herbs, black cherry jam, camphor, white chocolate, and licorice.

Chateau Cos Labory 1997

Ratings By Robert Parker (86) Tasting Notes I was in error with respect to my severe judgment of this wine from cask. The truth is always in the bottle, and the 1997 Cos Labory is far better from bottle than it was from cask. A medium plum/ruby color is followed by a charming raspberry/cherry, Burgundian-like… Read More »

Dalwhinnie Moonambel Cabernet 1999

Region Moonambel Grape Cabernet Tasting Notes Medium red-purple; the bouquet is quite scented, with sweet cassis/currant/blackberry fruit. The palate opens with abundant dark berry fruit, but then moves through to all pervasive tannins which need to settle and soften, and there has to be a question about the long-term balance of the wine. -87 pts… Read More »
