Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

97-98 JS

$2,220

BUY

"Very focused and reserved with a mineral, blackberry, licorice and blackcurrant character. Full and refined. Walking a tightrope between steely tannins and and dark fruit. This is highly intellectual and unique. Great finish. Remake of the extraordinary 2014? Stronger than the 2015, for sure." (97-98 points) JamesSuckling.com, April 4, 2017

98-99 JS

$1,800

BUY

"I have been waiting for this for a long time. It’s a remake of the legendary 1990 Pichon Baron. Full body, ultra-polished yet powerful tannins and a glorious finish. The will evolve beautifully. The core of fruit and tannins are great. A truly great Pichon Baron." (98-99 points) JamesSuckling.com, April 4, 2017

Château Léoville Poyferré

95-97 WA

$1,080

BUY

"...opulent but neatly controlled, billowing scents of black cherries, black plum, crème de cassis and violets. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine tannin, a killer line of acidity and perhaps one of the most harmonious Poyferré that I have encountered at this juncture. It just glides across the mouth and slips down the throat with consummate ease. Superb." (95-97 points) Neal Martin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate #230, April 2017

�

Château Clinet

96-98 WA

$1,188

BUY

"...a very linear bouquet, quite strict and intense with a light iodine and marine scent merging with the black fruit...medium-bodied with filigree tannin that forms the foundation of a more masculine Clinet, complex and focused with a subtle spiciness coming through on the finish...this is a magnificent Clinet, cool and mineral-soaked, both cerebral and lip-smackingly delicious." (96-98 points) Neal Martin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate #230, April 2017

Château Smith-Haut-Lafitte Rouge

97-98 JS

$1,260

BUY

"Wow. This is incredibly rich and exotic. Full-bodied, so deep and long. It lasts for minutes. Perfectly polished tannins evidence how texturally focused and supple this is. Decadent and enticing. From organically grown grapes. Super quality of cabernet is on show here. We will see if 2016 is better than 2015." (97-98 points) JamesSuckling.com, April 4, 2017
