Cellar: Drink now - 6 Years (2026-2032)

ABV: 15%

Closure: Diam Cork

Abundantly rich and concentrated yet refined with chewy tannins and a long, relatively elegant finish.
Pitch black dark red colour with a dark red black tinged hue. Aromas of black raspberry, liquorice and black cherry waft through the nostrils followed by notes of scorched earth, dried herbs, leather and pepper. Abundantly rich and concentrated yet more refined than the 2022 vintage, the medium to full bodied palate is engulfed with black raspberry, liquorice and black cherry fruits which are backed by a chewy tannin structure. Infusions of provincial herbs, scorched earth, leather and pepper linger across the back half. Excellent power with a long, relatively elegant finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Other Reviews……
A complex and beautifully balanced Chateauneuf for the challenging vintage with a wide spectrum of fruit aromas ranging from ripe cherry to wild blackberry, but also wild herbs and summer flowers. Barely full-bodied thanks to the mineral freshness and the crisp tannins. A cuvee of 80% grenache, 10% mourvedre, 5% syrah and 5% vaccarese. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.

The flagship 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée De La Reine Des Bois is slightly deeper hued, with more blackberry and darker cherry fruits intermixed with notions of roasted herbs, black licorice, and peppery garrigue. It's concentrated and medium to full-bodied, with building structure and a great finish. I'd put it up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. Drink bottles over the coming 10-15 years. The 2021 is a normal blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, and the rest Vaccarèse, from the Le Bois de la Ville, La Crau, and La Nerthe lieux-dits, that was destemmed and aged mostly in stainless steel (80%) with the rest in used barrels and a splash of new oak. Drink 2023-2038.

60/40% Marmont vineyard grenache/Paralian-owned Springs Hill vineyard shiraz. The most fruit-forward and 'primal' barrels are selected for this. This is delightfully upper mid-weight, joyously fragrant and supple, redolent of cherry juice, roses in bloom, musk, sumac, cinnamon, the gently creeping darker fruit and spice of shiraz latterly joining the grenache lead, adding a little growl to the purr. It’s just such a joy to drink, a wine of immense immediate attraction, though it also has a sculpted line of filigreed tannin and vibrant freshness. It’s a beautiful thing. Drink by 2032.

Augusta Distillery Old Route 8 Single Barrel Cask Strength 8 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

Kentucky, UNITED STATES
$189. 99
Bottle
$2279.88 Dozen

ABV: 54.15%

This is Augusta's flagship label. The name originates from Kentucky’s 'Old Route 8', which connects historic river towns to larger cities and ports. Tasted from a low-fill bottle, the nose is PX-sherry-like, with vanilla extending to dates and light molasses cake. At natural strength, the palate is superbly soft, achieving excellent weight and balance as the initial sweetness dovetails into chewy vanillin oak, the finish hinting at sweet pipe tobacco and fresh sawn oak. This shines straight or over ice, and there are also gorgeous notes of ripe peach and orange-infused dark chocolate that emerge with water, though some of the finer nuances are lost. Founded in 2018 on the banks of the Ohio River, Augusta has since moved on from sourcing Bourbon to distilling their own whiskey. Expect to see more single barrels in the near future. ABV may vary from batch to batch. Non-chill filtered.
Other reviews... [120.2 proof batch tasted] The bourbon is a full-flavoured affair from start to finish. Baking spices, cinnamon, and pie crust on the nose as tempered with juicy stone fruits, which transitions the bourbon into the sip. Loads of brown sugar help lay a sweet base, with intense baking spices, a hint of fennel, graham cracker, green grape, and vanilla custard combine to form a complex midpoint. Tempering baking spices in the finish reveals apple, brown sugar, caramel, and vanilla cookie. The brand’s website states it delivers a “Kentucky hug,” a term used to describe the lingering after-effect of the warming intensity a bourbon can have when you sip it. While that can be said of many bourbons, Old Route 8 is particularly good at it. - breakingbourbon.com
Notes from the producers... The hints of favor and complexity created upon nosing are reinforced on the palate. Flavors of brown sugar, vanilla, and a dash of oak are balanced and revealed in smooth, cascading layers that only time and great liquid can deliver. Finish: Long, smooth and lingering, the finish extends the joy of this pour, delivering a classic “Kentucky hug.” Oak, baking spices, with a touch of sweetness are reminders that this is a traditional straight Kentucky bourbon that deserves further exploration.

2025 Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot (375ml) Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$67. 99
Bottle
$815.88 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Beau-Séjour Bécot continues this estate's brilliant run of vintages with what will surely number among their finest to date. A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, this compelling wine opens in the glass with a pure and incipiently complex bouquet of dark berries and plums mingled with floral accents of iris and lilac. Medium- to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit, sweet tannin and a bright spine of animating acidity, it concludes with a long, mineral finish. Beau-Séjour Bécot's limestone terroir is front and center in the glass.
97-99 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Beau-Séjour Bécot has all the requisites to take its place alongside the 2022 and the other extraordinary wines of 2025. Aromatic and layered, with striking presence, the 2025 is majestic. Deep, dark red fruit, pomegranate, mint, chalk, white pepper, rose petal and lavender soar from the glass. Bright saline notes drive through the mid-palate and into a finish marked by intense fruit and vibrant minerality. The purity here is just off the charts. Yields were 32 hectoliters per hectare. The 2025 saw a cold soak of 15 days followed by another 27 days or so on the skins, on the longer side for Bordeaux. Blending is done before the wines see oak. There are good wines, exceptional wines, and then emotional wines. Beau-Séjour Bécot falls into the third category. Unforgettable. Tasted two times. Drink 2033-2065.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous
A medium-bodied red with a very salty and bright character and a lovely, silky texture. It’s round, polished and intense. Superb finish of mineral and iron undertones. Racy and refined. A unique wine with a texture like a great Burgundy. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc.

James Suckling
Sporting a stunning deep purple hue, the 2025 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot reveals cassis, graphite, liquid violets, and black raspberry on the nose, with a liquid rock-like minerality that speaks to this brilliant terroir. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, has ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It brings remarkable richness, polish, and depth alongside that classic sense of purity and minerality that this château consistently delivers today.

Jeb Dunnuck
An ethereal wine from Beau-Séjour Bécot this year. Fragrant blackcurrants and black cherries. High energy from the get go, this has such verve and focus from the start with a zing in the mouth; juicy, succulent, gorgeous and friendly. Generous in terms of sweet, juicy acidity, mouthwatering but soft and creamy so you get a wide mouthfeel. Tannins perfectly placed, nicely supportive but not intrusive. Layers of fresh red fruits, a little touch of salinity on the finish, crunchy cranberries with a soft lick of salt wet stones. I love the precision – the real tension but not at all too tart or austere. There’s such a soft element that makes this really approachable. Very purity, pristine and clear – a real sensation of the limestone. 3.40pH. A yield of 32hlha. Ageing 37% oak casks. Drink 2032-2048.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter
Beau-Sejour Becot has been on fire lately, and the 2025 shows why. Concentrated, lusciously textured, creamy, and fresh, the wine delivers an intensity of fruit and a surreal sense of purity that hits all your pleasure buttons. The finish is all about its nonstop, seamless layers of velvety fruit that coat your palate as they linger for over 60 seconds. The wine is aged in 50% new French oak barrels, along with foudres and amphora. The wine blends 78% Merlot with 22% Cabernet Franc. 13% ABV, 3.5 pH. The harvest took place September 25 - October 4. Drink from 2030-2060.

2025 Chateau Haut-Bailly Magnum (1500ml) Pre-Arrival Offer

Pessac Leognan, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$399. 00
Bottle
$4788.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Based in Pessac-Leognan on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, Chateau Haut-Bailly has 30 hectares under vine planted to 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. As it is only recently that the wines have truly excelled, with knock out wines in 2005/2009/2010/2015/2016, they are one of the best values in Bordeaux.
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Haut-Bailly was picked between September 4 and 22 at 26.6 hl/ha, raised in 50% new oak. Similar to elsewhere this year, I found a distinct difference between the Grand and Deuxième Vins, this possessing greater delineation and complexity. A mixture of brambly red fruit, briar, a touch of cassis and orange rind that is beautifully delineated. The palate is exquisite: very fine tannins, tangible minéralité, very cohesive and focused, with a very complex, peppery finish that goes on and on and on. Svelte, harmonious and tender, this ranks amongst the best vintages from Haut-Bailly in recent years. Drink 2032-2058.
96-98 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2025 Haut-Bailly is fabulous. Here, too, the purity of the fruit is remarkable. Dried herbs, crushed flowers, blood orange, pomegranate, mint and star anise give the 2025 a gorgeous and palpable sense of exoticism. The 2025 impresses with its elegance and finesse. Floral and savory overtones linger on the clean, supremely polished finish. Very fine. Drink 2035-2065.
95-97 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
A beautiful fruit to this delicate and refined wine. The tannins are perfectly integrated into the wine and almost give it a pinot texture. The finest silk. It’s medium-bodied with precise and focused fruit and an endless finish. The exceptional harmony of this young wine makes you want to drink it. 55% cabernet sauvignon, 36% merlot, 5% cabernet franc and 4% petit verdot. 13.3% alcohol. pH 3.67.
98-99 points
James Suckling
Checking in as a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2025 Château Haut-Bailly is a sensational Haut-Bailly all about finesse and elegance. Ripe black cherries, currants, smoky tobacco, violets, spice, and flowers all define the bouquet, and on the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a pure, graceful mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a very long, elegant finish. It's not a blockbuster, but it's exactly what this terroir yields with its complex, nuanced, layered, graceful style. You should buy this.
97-99 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Lovely floral aromatics with an abundance of rose petals. Supple and so smooth, silky tannins and really vibrant red cherry fruit. Quite a brilliant and energetic style. Plump but juicy with acidity that gives a clear backbone and drive. I love the slightly fuller expression, it’s not lacking in depth or attitude and fills the mouth with a fleshy grip yet still lifted, bright and so cool. Impressive. Haut Bailly has been one of the more delicate wines in recent vintages and this is a little more upfront, lively and characterful and I love it for that – while still keeping elegance and refinement. Ripe, punchy, bright, forward. A great success. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drink 2035-2055.

2025 Chateau Brane Cantenac Magnum (1500ml) Pre-Arrival Offer

Margaux, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$250. 00
Bottle
$3000.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Rare in the landscape of Bordeaux, the heart of the Second Growth Chateau Brane Cantenac vineyard has remained relatively unchanged since the 1855 classification with the 45 hectares surrounding the Chateau still used for the Grand Vin. The balance of the 75 hectare estate makes it into the second wine, Baron de Brane. Vineyards are planted to 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 4.5% Cabernet Franc, and 0.5% Carmenere.
Other Reviews...
A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Carmenère (the latter harvested by the winery team after everything else has been picked), the 2025 Brane-Cantenac offers up a rich bouquet of crème de cassis, plums and spices, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and lively, with powdery tannins that contribute youthful grip on the finish, it checks in at a very classical 13.3% alcohol and pH of 3.62.
93-96 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Brane-Cantenac was picked from September 2 to 29, finishing with that 1% of late-ripening Carménère, cropped at 32.2 hl/ha. It has impressive purity on the nose, an aspect of the Grand Vin that Henri Lurton and his team have improved immensely over the last decade. Black cherries, bilberry, violet and crushed stone unfold in the glass, classical in style, which is Brane-Cantenac's signature. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, finely sculpted tannins allied with disarming sapidity and brightness. Not powerful like the 2022, yet pixelated with a mineral, tensile, complex finish. Another feather in the cap for Lurton and, moreover, this is often one of the best values on release. Drink 2032-2060.
95-97 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2025 Brane-Cantenac is incredibly polished right out of the gate. Floral overtones lead into a core of blue/purplish fruit, spice, new leather, tobacco, lavender and a kiss of French oak. Silky tannins lend shape and finesse. The aromatics alone are so compelling, but everything about the 2025 speaks to balance. It’s a magnificent effort from proprietor Henri Lurton and his team. One of the highlights of the vintage. Drink 2035-2065.
95-97 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
A medium-bodied and solid red with blackberry, chocolate, meat and walnut character. It shows juicy tannins and a long finish. Persistent and classy. Such length and balance.

James Suckling
Cassis, graphite, liquid violets, and tobacco all define the 2025 Château Brane-Cantenac, a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 1% each Cabernet Franc, Carménère, and Petit Verdot that's being raised in 100% new French oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a focused, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful concentration and depth, integrated acidity, and a great finish. Hitting 13.5% alcohol, it's a brilliant success in the vintage and should be snatched up by readers.
96-98 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Ripe and juicy blackcurrant aromas, really pure and expressive, fruit forward with iris notes as well. Juicy and friendly with such a lifted, bright and energetic core but grippy too, really wide and filling with the structure and concentration matching the acidity step for step. Firm and streamlined, but there’s purity and I do love the slightly more muscular aspect to this. Maybe less charming than previous vintages but more sophisticated. Clarity is exceptional. Lovely and long. 1% Carménère completes the blend. 3.62pH. 12.1% press wine. Drink 2034-2048.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter
Black cherries, currants, roses, violets, spice, and forest floor create the aromatics. On the palate, the elegance and purity of the fruit are instantly recognizable. The lift and vibrancy, paired with concentration and sensuality, set this apart. The finish starts strong and continues seamlessly. 2025 marks the Lurton family's 100th anniversary of owning the vineyard. You can expect to see a special label celebrating the occasion. The 2025 is in competition with the 2022 as the best vintage ever produced at the estate. The wine blends 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 1% Carmenere, and 1% Cabernet Franc. 13.3% ABV, 3.62 pH. Harvesting took place September 2 - September 19. Yields were 32 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2029-2065.

Lots to like with this excellent value Pinot Noir. The colour is quite a shimmering crimson complemented by lovely aromatics, which open with cherries, followed by florals and raspberries. Sleek and supple in structure, there is good focus and a fine line of acidity. The wine is of medium length, finishing with silky tannins. Enjoy this over the next three to five years.

2012 Tatiarra Culled Barrel Shiraz - Museum Release

Heathcote, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$39. 99
Bottle
$479.88 Dozen

ABV: 15.2%

Closure: Stelvin

Established by Nick Chlebnikowski and Bill Spring, Tatiarra quickly became one of Heathcote’s cult Shiraz producers, earning a strong following for wines that captured the power and richness of the region’s famed Cambrian soils. Working alongside highly regarded winemakers including Ben Riggs, the winery developed a reputation for producing bold, cellarworthy Shiraz with immense concentration and unmistakable regional character. The Culled Barrel Shiraz was created as a selection of barrels that did not make the final blend for Tatiarra's flagship wines, yet still offered exceptional quality in their own right. Released in limited quantities, these wines became renowned for delivering much of the depth, richness and regional character of the estate's top bottlings at a more approachable price point. The 2012 vintage marked a welcome return to form for Tatiarra following the loss of the 2011 vintage, producing wines of impressive concentration and structure.
Other Reviews...
The rich tapestry of flavours of the palate bear witness to the very high quality of the vintage, and the difficulty of finding barrels to cull. The colour is excellent, and the wine copes with its elevated alcohol, the finish savoury rather than hot; on the way through spice, pepper, licorice and a waft of dark chocolate all add motifs to the tapestry. Terrific value. Drink by 2027.

2006 Water Wheel Bendigo Shiraz - Museum Release

Bendigo, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$19. 99
Bottle
$239.88 Dozen

ABV: 15.5%

Closure: Screw Cap

Please Note: Due to the age of this wine, some bottles may show signs of advanced maturity and we recommend enjoying it sooner rather than further cellaring.
Produced from estate-grown fruit in Victoria's Bendigo region, the 2006 Water Wheel Shiraz reflects the warm, dry conditions for which the region is renowned. The vineyards, originally planted in the 1970s and later expanded by the Cumming family, are managed with an emphasis on low yields to promote concentration and structure. Following fermentation, the wine was matured in American oak hogsheads before release.

2025 Chateau Cos d'Estournel (375ml) Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Estephe, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$133. 00
Bottle
$1596.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Chateau Cos d’Estournel have made great strides in the recent past, and their new winemaking facility is one of the most impressive and purpose driven in the area. All movement of wine from the moment grapes arrive is done via gravity, a process involving a style of wine elevator to raise and lower tanks, and one that removes the use of pumps entirely. While the wines from this Second Growth property have been patchy throughout their history, it’s no secret that they have been on fire over the last 15 years, producing rich, concentrated, and potentially very long lived wines warranting perfect scores for numerous wine critics.
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Cos d'Estournel appears to be one of the finest wines this property has produced in the last decade. Unwinding in the glass with a deep bouquet of dark berry fruit mingled with violets, pencil shavings, burning embers and anise, it's full-bodied, ample and velvety, with a broad attack, layered mid-palate and beautifully fresh, concentrated flavors. All of this terroir's inherent power is present, contained within very classical proportions at 13.3% alcohol. The 2025 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot.
96-98 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Cos d'Estournel is shaping up to be one of the wines of the vintage. Grand, dramatic and sweeping, with notable textural intensity, the 2025 hits all the right notes. Even in the very early going, the 2025 is magical. Dark red/purplish fruit, spice, new leather, tobacco, lavender and mocha build effortlessly in the glass. More than anything else, I am blown away by the wine's magnificent balance. A masterpiece. Drink 2035-2075.
96-99 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
A density to this, yet it remains balanced and complex, with well-integrated tannins and a juicy finish. It seems to be a wine with lots of fruit, but then it diffuses and shows open-grained, velvety tannins. Intense yet subtle blackberries, lead pencil and hazelnuts. Some flint. Persistent and reserved at the end. Great potential. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 39% merlot and 1% petit verdot.
98-99 points
James Suckling
Cassis, currants, smoky tobacco, chocolate, and graphite all define the 2025 Château Cos D'Estournel, a powerful, ripe, concentrated beauty based on 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot that's still resting in 50% new barrels. On the palate, it's full-bodied, with a pure, layered mouthfeel, integrated oak, and a great finish. It stays lively, balanced, and remarkably fresh despite its weight and richness, and I'd happily put this up with the crème de la crème of the vintage.
97-99 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Vivid pink colour in the glass. Plush, plump and chewy yet serious in a tight, cool blue fruit and graphite way. Lots of gravelly minerality keeps this quite focused and straight but with lovely fine layers of flavour and fruitiness. Classic in the sense of lower alcohol but still with ripe tannins – a nice combination. Still shy I’d say for Cos, definitely not the showy more exuberant style you can find. Refined but well built and definitely not overripe. Dominique Arangoits, technical director of Cos d'Estournel said 2025 was a: ‘Very interesting vintage, the dry situation arrived early so the vines adapted better. Easter brought three days of rain with 115mm on 20 April which proved vital, followed by helpful rain at the end of August. We started harvest on 3 September – our earliest ever. Nice quality of tannins and colour – we have the benefits of a hot season but with cool nights too, low alcohol and nice quantity of fresh fruit. It’s a mix of styles – ripeness and precocity of 2022 and freshness of 2016. Maybe a bit like 2020.’ 3.68pH. 65% grand vin production. Drink 2034-2050.

2025 Chateau Lynch Bages (375ml) Pre-Arrival Offer

Pauillac, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$105. 00
Bottle
$1260.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Along with Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste also from Pauillac, Chateau Lynch Bages continue to rise well above their lowly ranking of Fifth Growth status. While it’s true they haven’t been as consistent as some of the higher classified properties, in the great years they make wines equal to anything else in the region. This is most clearly evident with legendary wines such as the 1961, 1989, 1990, and most recently the 2016.
Plantings on the 100 hectare property are 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. The wine is normally powerful and concentrated, but also has great complexity and is known for ageing extremely well.
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Lynch-Bages wafts from the glass with aromas of dark wild berries, lead pencil and spices, framed by well-integrated new oak. Full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it’s deep and muscular, with a broad-shouldered profile, yet more velvety and precise than usual, showing a touch of freshness through the mid-palate, concluding with a long, cassis-inflected finish. Without departing from its customary style—combining power and generosity in youth—it is more approachable en primeur, with softer, more polished tannins than in recent vintages. This is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, matured with 75% new oak.
94-97 points
Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Lynch-Bages was picked 9 to 21 September and matured in 75% new oak barrels. This has a stunning bouquet with exceptionally pure blackberry, cassis and subtle violet scents, the oak seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with finely embroidered tannins, perfect acidity, a touch of cedar and black pepper that dovetails into a peacock's tail finish that “clings” to the mouth. This continues the strongest run from Lynch-Bages since the 1980s and, perhaps with the 2025, it is close to surpassing that. Drink 2032-2060.

Neal Martin - Vinous
Lots of great energy, with a precision and focus that sends you down the road to gorgeous dark fruits and mineral nuances. A cool, minty note. Medium- to full-bodied. Racy and intense, with a lightness at the end. Juicy fruit, too. A blend of 66% cabernet sauvignon, 28% merlot, 3% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot.
97-98 points
James Suckling
Currants, smoky oak, chocolate, and hints of violets all define the 2025 Château Lynch-Bages, a remarkably balanced, elegant Pauillac from this estate that has more than a passing resemblance to the 2019. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has ultra-fine tannins and nicely integrated acidity, and it builds beautifully with time in the glass. It should have some reasonable accessibility, but as with most vintages here, the cellar will be your friend.
96-98 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Dried floral scents, some cocoa powder, mint, red berries and sweet rose petals. Clean and crystalline, a lovely purity and soft chalky touch to the tannins which fill the mouth but don’t overwhelm. Feels quite a restrained style for Lynch, delicate almost, a gentle lick of liquorice, slate and wet stone with blackcurrant fruit. Quite a long style, very charming, juicy but really overall quite finessed/hands off. Ageing will add on a bit of added texture. Grippy, fleshy, chalky but cool. 3% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.68pH. Drink 2033-2050.

The 2025 Gloria is fabulous. Bright, floral and full of life, Gloria is so impressive. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, cinnamon and dried herbs all add energy to this delicious, mid-weight Saint-Julien. Gloria is especially fine in 2025. Don’t miss it. Taste two times. Drink 2030-2045.

A solid red, structured and textured, showing cherries and baking spices on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied with sinewy tannins. Crunchy at the center, with a flavorful, vivid and persistent finish.

James Suckling
Sporting a vivid purple hue, the 2025 Château Gloria offers up cassis, assorted red and blue fruits, liquid violets, and classy oak. Based on 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc that's being raised in 50% new barrels, it's pure and incredibly polished on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness, a silky, elegant mouthfeel, and a great finish. It checks in at 13.2% alcohol. As I've written in the past, the quality at this estate continues to soar, and this will hold its own in a blind tasting with some of the top wines with ease. This château needs to be on everyone's radar.
93-95 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Bramble fruit aromas on the nose. Supple and so controlled with a gorgeous weight on the palate – ripe, filling tannins with a cool vein of freshness that just carries the frame. Not overly acidic or too bright, more controlled and calm with a complexity of flavours and textures. Chewy blackcurrant, liquorice and stones. It’s a touch short and compact on the finish but this will elongate over ageing. Lots to like here. Balanced with an elegant touch. 4% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. Drink 2034-2050.

2025 Chateau Figeac Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$360. 00
Bottle
$4320.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Positively ancient in wine terms, Chateau Figeac has a history of grape growing going back to Roman times. Once a large estate of 200 hectares, various divisions over the years, most notably selling the parcel that would become Chateau Cheval Blanc, the estate now covers 37 hectares and is planted to 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc, and 30% Merlot. The high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon is rare on the Right Bank, and owes to the soil being a mainly fine gravel base, and the resultant wine requires at least mid-term cellaring to soften.
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Figeac shows exceptional potential, unwinding in the glass with aromas of ripe cherries and minty blackberries mingled with sweet spices, pencil lead and burning embers. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and deep, with terrific concentration, sweet tannins, bright acids and a long, penetrating finish, this integrated and balanced Figeac is a serious wine, built for the long haul. Fully 90% of production went into the grand vin this year, and it's a blend of 38% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon.
97-99 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Figeac was cropped at 25 hl/ha between 1 and September, matured entirely in new oak as usual. The Cabernet components shape the aromatics at the moment, with a mixture of blackberry and wild strawberry fruit, touches of tobacco and dark powdered chocolate, all very precise and, if anything, remarkably understated considering the warmth of that summer. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine, slightly granular tannins. Darker fruit than normal, nicely structured, linear and correct, this is a Figeac that veers towards the more elegant side in Saint-Émilion. Just a touch of bitterness on the finish neatly counterbalances the contained opulence. If it ends up at the top of my banded score, I would not be surprised. 13.1% alcohol. Drink 2033-2060.
96-98 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2025 Figeac is a powerful, deeply structured wine. Dark-fleshed fruit, mocha, incense, scorched earth, tobacco and grilled herbs soar across the palate in a towering Figeac of the highest level. All the elements are so well balanced. A season marked by very gradual ripening yielded an especially aromatic, perfumed Grand Vin. Yields were 25 hectoliters per hectare, harvested at a very modest 13% potential alcohol. The 2025 saw a cold maceration lasting six to eight days, with no sulfur added at crush, followed by another three weeks or so on the skins. Tasted two times. Drink 2033-2075.
96-98 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
A dense yet open-grained red. It’s layered, with dusty tannins that give it a velvety texture and a medium- to full-bodied palate with plum, currant and cedar flavors. Juicy. 13% alcohol. Merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon.
96-97 points
James Suckling
Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Château Figeac is based on 38% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30% Cabernet Franc, harvested September 1-10 from yields of 24 hectoliters per hectare and raised in 100% new French oak. Its deep color gives way to an ultra-classic bouquet of cassis, violets, graphite, and leafy tobacco that gives this a slightly Médoc-like character. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with an incredibly pure, graceful mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and flawless balance in its fruit, acidity, and alcohol. It hit 13.1% alcohol with a pH of 3.64, and it's a brilliant, finesse-driven, incredibly classic Figeac.

Jeb Dunnuck
Vivid colour in the glass with absolutely gorgeous perfumed aromas, almost sweet purple flowers and blackcurrants. Really vibrant and expressive, so alive with a touch of medicinal herbal eucalyptus too plus blue fruit and cola. Creamy and soft straight away, silky smooth and so juicy, this is bursting with life and juiciness — such a pure and happy wine. Really focused, precise and detailed with absolute clarity but silky, finely structured tannins. Pure happiness in a glass. Super drinkable, a fabulous wine — succulent with the perfect tannin feel, creamy, velvety and really softly chalky on the finish with a cool mint and cola element that lingers. I love the construction and elegance here. Pure refinement without being too strict or tight. Similar to 2023 in terms of freshness. Perfection. Intense but not showing off, nothing out of place – a showstopper that is perfectly ripe with perfect acidity. 3.66pH. A yield of 25hl/ha. 90% grand vin. 8% press wine. Drink 2032-2050.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter
Flowers, forest leaves, raspberries, tobacco leaves, plums, and a hint of espresso already express their nuances in the perfume. The palate is shaped by the gorgeous purity of the fruit. From there, elegance, a relaxed vibe, and tension provide lift, allowing you to enjoy the creamy, silky palate, with its multiple layers of fruit and mineral essence, lingering for close to 60 seconds. Perhaps the most salient factors that shaped the 2025 vintage were the number of sun hours, combined with heat and drought, followed by cool nights. This combination of events has not occurred before. The wine blends 38% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30% Cabernet Franc. 9% Press wine. 13.2% ABV, 3.65 pH. The yields were only 25 hectoliter per hectare. Picking took place from September 1 to September 19. Drink from 2030-2065.

2025 Chateau Margaux Pre-Arrival Offer

Margaux, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$999. 00
Bottle
$11988.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Chateau Margaux has an impressive history of producing the best wines of Bordeaux, with winemaking on the property dating back to the 12th century. In the 1700’s Thomas Jefferson included Margaux in his list of the greatest four wines of Bordeaux, and this was later vindicated when Chateau Margaux was awarded First Growth status in the 1855 Classification. Traditional in style, Chateau Margaux is a wine of finesse and purity, but also one with richness and aromatic complexity, with an enviable history of cellaring potential. Vineyards are planted to 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, while the final blend normally uses around 85% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Other Reviews...
A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2025 Château Margaux is a deep, authoritative wine that represents some 37% of the estate's production this year. Unwinding in the glass with notes of dark berries, violets, lilac and pencil shavings, framed by a deft touch of new oak, it's medium- to full-bodied, dense and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins and lively acids. This will certainly require some patience, but it is a prodigious Château Margaux in the making. It checks in at 13.8% alcohol and a pH of 3.72.
97-100 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Château Margaux is shaping up to be one of the wines of this young vintage. Dark and layered, almost mysterious in bearing, the 2025 is going to have a lot to say over the coming decades as it grows up. Today, its superb persistence and exceptional balance are the harbingers. Here, too, there's a ton of tannin, but also more than enough fruit and overall density to keep things in balance. Drink 2033-2075.
97-99 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
The 2025 Château Margaux was picked at 22 hl/ha between 10 and 29 September. This year it represents 37% of the total crop, a little down on recent vintages, and was matured in 100% new oak as usual. The first thing that you notice on this Château Margaux is the purity of fruit, a signature of the First Growth but taken to its maximum in this vintage. Perfumed blueberry, crushed violet and iris flower, a touch of iodine and a distant trace of the estuary. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with velvety tannins, fine delineation and poise. There is backbone to this Margaux but it is disguised under the layers of pure blackberry and blueberry fruit, dovetailing into a lightly spiced but very persistent finish. It fans out wonderfully, completing a very alluring wine in the making. This vintage contains 13.8% alcohol. Drink 2035-2065.

The texture of this wine is exceptional, with black currant, dark plum, chocolate and orange blossom aromas. Full-bodied with round and creamy tannins that fill the mouth and give a caressing texture. Very long and seductive. Gentle at the end. It's lush, velvety and luxurious. 89% cabernet sauvignon, 6% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot.

A heavenly, magical wine that has perfection written all over it, the 2025 Château Margaux is based on 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, raised entirely in new barrels. Similar in its gorgeous aromatics to the Pavillon Rouge, it shows cassis, blue fruits, and spice, but with a touch more freshness and floral character. It's absolutely seamless on the palate, with full body, a deep, layered, pure, graceful mouthfeel, velvety, polished tannins, flawless balance, and sensational length. Hitting 13.8% alcohol with a pH of 3.72, they took a chance harvesting very late in September, finishing on the 29th, and it unquestionably paid off. While many of the wines of the vintage are beautiful in their richness and elegance, this hits another level of opulence and depth. It reminds me of the 2009 on the palate and is a legendary Margaux in the making.

Easily one of the wines of the vintage and clear contender for a 100-point wine that benefited from slightly later picking after the rain with the Cabernets harvested from the 19 September. So floral, what a wonderful bouquet of aromas with wild flowers, medicinal herbs and touches of eucalyptus. Crushed velvet, round and enveloping, so balanced with energy and flair. Juicy and alive, bright with fresh strawberries and cherries and a chalky backbone. Grippy with lovely salinity and focus. Feels incredibly sophisticated, a touch firm but pure and precise with refinement. You can feel the structure – it has concentration but an almost aerial quality that just glides over the tongue. So delicate for so much concentration – really a powerful yet almost understated wine with plenty of Margaux charm, ripe but cool fruit and aromatic purity. So perfect and nothing missing. 37% grand vin (lowest production since 1856 with yields of just 22hl/ha). 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. 3.72pH. 81 IPT. Drink 2034-2058.

The vast array of floral aromas doesn't require a single swirl before you're ensconced in their bouquet. Black cherries, cocoa, exotic spices, currants, espresso, and blackberries follow aromatically. On the palate, length, width, and depth are present in spades. The concentration is intense, yet the wine feels almost weightless on your palate. The fruits, with an almost racy quality, paired with sweetness, energy, and length, hit all the right notes. Balanced between cerebral and opulent, this is a great vintage of Chateau Margaux. The hallmark of the vintage is the fruit's ability to provide ripeness with density. The wine blends 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. 13.8% ABV. 3.72 pH, 14% press wine. Yields were only 22 hectoliters per hectare. Picking took place September 8 - September 29. Drink from 2032-2075.

2025 Pavillon Rouge de Chateau Margaux Pre-Arrival Offer

Margaux, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$299. 00
Bottle
$3588.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Pavillon Rouge is a serious, youthfully structured second wine, unwinding in the glass with notes of dark berry fruit mingled with notes of anise, licorice and petals. Medium- to full-bodied, supple and lively, with a deep, tightly wound core of primary fruit and a long, vibrant finish, it will reward a bit of patience. This year, Pavillon Rouge represents 28% of the harvest, and it's a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc.
91-93 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Pavillon Rouge is a gorgeous, very sexy wine, a Margaux that captures the best the vintage had to offer. Succulent red cherry/plum fruit, mocha and new leather open first. This offers gorgeous mid-palate pliancy and fabulous persistence, not to mention compelling balance all around. It's a very fine Pavillon Rouge, but one that will require cellaring as the tannins are quite imposing. Drink 2033-2045.
92-94 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Cassis, blueberries, smoky tobacco, and the classic Margaux spice and complexity all define the 2025 Pavillon Rouge Du Château Margaux, which has more than a passing resemblance to the Grand Vin. Based on 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot, and 4% Cabernet Franc that's being raised in 60% new barrels, it's rich and medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a deep, layered mouthfeel, remarkable ripeness and purity, and a great finish. Checking in at 13.9% alcohol with a pH of 3.68, it's incredibly textured and is really a great wine in its own right.
95-97 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Fresh prune, some balsamic notes, fresh rose petals. Fragrant and dark notes, a touch of spice, some soft minerality. Juicy and succulent – there’s acidity for sure but what stands out is the texture, so soft and creamy on the palate with bright but cool blueberry acidity, some liquorice spice, violet touches and a lot of graphite and pencil lead salinity on the finish. Clearly structured but so generous in terms of fruit purity. Quite a serious Pavillon. Started harvesting young vines on the 8 September, Merlots on 11th and Cabernets on 19th, finishing on the 29th. A yield of 22hl/ha. 3.68pH. 78IPT. 28% second wine production, usually 30%. 12% press wine. 4% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. Drink 2030-2044.

2025 Chateau Calon Segur Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Estephe, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$210. 00
Bottle
$2520.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
As one of the three original estates in Saint-Estephe, the history of Calon Segur can be dated back to 1146. Always solid but rarely reaching above their Third Growth status, the Chateau has been on a steady increase in quality since an ownership change in 2012. Completely rejuvenated cellars and a replanting regime have reaped early rewards, with excellent wines in made 2014 and 2015, and perhaps their best ever effort in 2016.
Other Reviews...
A blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2025 Calon-Ségur offers up a deep and incipiently complex bouquet of dark berries, rose petals and violets, framed by a deft touch of new oak. Full-bodied, deep and layered, with terrific energy, abundant but ultra refined tannins and a long, penetrating finish, it checks in at a very classically proportioned 13.6% alcohol and pH of 3.6.
95-97 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Calon Ségur contains just a little more Merlot this year at 17%, though it is still dominated by the 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, picked between September 4 and 20 over 15 days at 35 hl/ha. It represents 65% of the estate's total production this year. As usual, this is matured entirely in new French oak for a planned 20 months. This has immense clarity and precision on the nose, blackberry and cedar, a little sous-bois, beautifully delineated and more elegant than some recent vintages. The new wood is folded in and barely noticeable even at this early juncture. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy, slightly chalky tannins on the entry. There is quite a conspicuous marine/estuarine element with hints of Japanese nori infusing the black fruit, almost briny in style…I like that. It gives this Calon personality and bandwidth. Classical in style and lower alcohol at 13.6% compared with recent releases (the 2022 was 14.5%), this has a very promising future. Drink 2032-2060.
95-97 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2025 Calon Ségur is a total head-turner. Aromatic and structured, the 2025 hits all the right notes. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2025 is packed with intense fruit and equally potent tannins that will need a decade to soften. This is a big, big wine. Here, too, the aromatics are so present, with lingering notes of dried herb, crushed rose petal and mint. Drink 2035-2065.
95-97 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Aromas of ripe black currants, yet menthol and other fresh herbs come through. Medium body, with firm and slightly chewy tannins and a savory finish. Plenty going on here. 80% cabernet sauvignon, 17% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot.
95-96 points
James Suckling
A big step up over the Marquis, the 2025 Château Calon Ségur is based on 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, and will spend 20 months in 100% new oak. The nose reveals ripe plums, cassis, and black raspberries alongside smoky tobacco and violet notes. On the palate, it's full-bodied, round, and lush, with tons of fruit, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. It checks in at 13.6% alcohol with a pH of 3.6. This ripe, polished, sexy Saint-Estèphe will offer tons of pleasure in its youth yet should also age gracefully.
95-97 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Smells so alive on the nose, crystalline but ripe blackcurrants with some liquorice and tobacco touches. Tar, campfire smoke – a charred element. Grippy and filling but in a soft, powdery bouncy, almost chewy sense – but not fleshy as such – round, massy and layered but so gently controlled that it feels more like a caress than a hug. To me it feels a bit more accessible than Calon can sometimes be in these early stages. Juicy mid palate, strawberries and cherries with the signature mineral, chalky grip on the finish. Lovely, true to form and very delightful. 3.4pH. 65% grand vin production. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drink 2034-2050.

2025 Chateau Capbern Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Estephe, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$49. 99
Bottle
$599.88 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Chateau Capbern (formerly Capbern Gasqueton) is on a roll since the new owners took over the estate, along with Calon Segur, in 2012. Already blessed with prime vineyards close to heavyweights Montrose and Phelan Segur, their winemaking facilities have recently been rejuvenated and the wines haven't looked better. Vineyards at the estate are planted to 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, with an average vine age of 30 years. Vinification takes place in stainless steel vats, malolactic fermentation in tank, and the wine is aged in 50% new French oak barrels for 18 months.
Other Reviews...
A blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2025 Capbern now sports a new label that reflects its historic links to Calon-Ségur. Offering up notes of violets, dark berries and a deft touch of creamy new oak, it's medium- to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with supple, powdery tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully structured finish. It checks in at 13.8% alcohol.
91-93 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Capbern comes with a redesigned label that now sports the same heart-shaped motif in order to visibly link it with Calon-Ségur. This was picked from September 4 with the Merlot until September 20, the fastest harvest ever at 15 days since the maturity was already there. Yields are 32 hl/ha and it was matured in 60% new oak barrels, alcohol 13.8% with a 3.25 pH. This has an attractive bouquet with brambly black fruit, briar, cedar and light tea leaf scents that gradually open in the glass. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, gentle grip, a little chalkiness and plenty of freshness and poise towards the finish. More cohesive than recent vintages, I really appreciate the control and minéralité towards the finish. This is one of the best Capbern releases to date. Drink 2031-2055.

Deep ruby-hued, the 2025 Château Capbern is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc that will spend 18 months in 60% new oak. The bouquet offers cassis, black fruits, violets, and smoky tobacco and graphite nuances. On the palate, it's ripe and medium to full-bodied, with a round, layered mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and beautiful overall balance. Checking in at 13.8% alcohol with a pH of 3.6, this is a classy, juicy, elegant yet ripe and textured beauty.
93-95 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Slightly herbal aromas mixed with blackcurrant leaf, leading to a grippy and saline palate straight away with sticky liquorice, mint and cooling blueberry aspects. Straight and forward but so clean and precise, really in one line with such persistence and lovely crushed powdery velvet tannins. Excellent presentation – young and a little tight as expected but so pure and focused, with a wonderful soft red cherry aspect underneath. General manager Vincent Millet said: ‘It wasn't very easy in St-Estèphe this year with an intense 15-day harvest across all three wines in the portfolio as all varieties matured quickly, yet we found great Cabernet Sauvignon. For me this is a wine with great potential showing the tannins of the great vintages 2005, 2010 and 2015.’ 3.2pH. Drink 2029-2040.

2025 Vieux Chateau Certan Pre-Arrival Offer

Pomerol, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$399. 00
Bottle
$4788.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Vieux Chateau Certan is regarded as one of the finest estates in Pomerol, and given their neighbours include Petrus, Lafleur, Certan de May, and l’Evangile, this is no surprise. Much of the vineyard is planted on the clay and gravel plateau of Pomerol, with the mix of grapes being 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Other Reviews...
Bursting with aromas of violets, crème de cassis, dark berries and creamy new oak, the 2025 Vieux Château Certan is medium- to full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with a sun-kissed core of fruit, ripe acids and a dense, unctuous palate, concluding with a heady finish. A blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is quite serious and structured, with sweet tannin, and it checks in at 14% alcohol.
94-96 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Vieux Château Certan was picked from September 8 to 15 at 22 hl/ha and includes two conjoining parcels normally used for the La Gravette. It is raised in two-thirds new oak, the remainder one-year-old. The Merlot sculpts the bouquet with perfumed red cherries, raspberry, cassis and pressed violet scents that gain intensity in the glass. The oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied, with powdery tannins on the entry. This must be one of the most peppery VCCs that I have tasted, poivre noir from the Cabernet Franc component. Quite structured, with chalky tannins on the finish, almost as if it came from more limestone soil. Not a crowd pleaser like the 2022, but an intellectual, vertical VCC that will flesh out in barrel. 14.01% alcohol. Drink 2033-2060.

Subtle and pure, with aromas of blackberries, black cherries, pencil shavings and touches of raspberries, flowers, oyster shells and iodine. Medium-bodied with subtle and integrated tannins that run the length of the wine and make you want to drink it. The length and finesse are sublime. A mineral, stone and light cement texture. It grows beautiful in the great finish. 80% merlot, 15% cabernet franc and 5% cabernet sauvignon.

Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Vieux Château Certan is a blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon that's being raised in 66% new French oak with the balance in once-used barrels. Harvested from yields of just 22 hectoliters per hectare, it hit 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.75. The aromatics are powerful and concentrated, with ripe black and blue fruits, graphite, scorched earth, and violets all defining the nose. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a balanced, layered mouthfeel, rock-solid mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It's a serious Vieux Château Certan that's going to be great, but it's going to need time.

Jeb Dunnuck
An outstanding VCC this year and one of the picks of Pomerol. Deep aromatics of dark black fruit that stays cool with some liquorice and cola, plus a soft floral fragrance and chocolate creaminess. Inky and really vibrant colour in the glass. Smooth and supple, both creamy and chalky with black fruit and a heady savoury spiced aspect. I love the stickiness – there’s a chew but it remains cool and lifted, nothing heavy, more comforting like a big hug – velvety, charming and almost sensuous. Acidity doesn't stick out, the focus is on complexity and remarkable texture with ripe tannins. Density is there yet it doesn't feel heavy. Ends so cool with lots of cola, a touch of iron and stones, fresh mint and savoury herbaceousness. Absolutely beautiful, hedonistic and so long. 3.75pH. A yield of 22hl/ha. Ageing two thirds new oak, one third one-year-old barrels. Drink 2034-2052.

Violets, iris, black cherries, blue fruits, chocolate, cocoa, licorice, mint leaves, and truffles create the wine's complex aromatics. However, it is on the palate that the wine truly steals the show. Full-bodied, deep, concentrated, opulent, and palate-staining, the wine coats your mouth, teeth, and gums with layers of plums and cherries drenched in dark chocolate. The finish is intense, long, full, rich, deep, and seamless, and you will notice it in your glass. Part of the wine's success in 2025 was blending fruit from young vines planted in 2015, which helped achieve the drinkability you already find in your glass. The wine blends 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. 14% ABV, 3.75 pH. The harvest took place September 8 - September 18. Yields were only 22 hectoliters. Drink from 2030-2065.

2025 Chateau Ausone Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$1099. 00
Bottle
$13188.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
A blend of 65% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2025 Château Ausone unwinds in the glass with notes of sweet raspberries and mulberries mingled with notions of mint, rose petals and blood orange. Medium- to full-bodied, lively and perfumed, with lovely energy, exquisitely refined tannins and a bright, precise finish, it shows extraordinary potential. Some discreet changes are underway at this address, with picking (between September 2 and 23) broken up plot by plot to a greater degree; a review of the estate's cooperage choices in pursuit of better integration; and, at least this year, no second wine for the first time since 1994—given the quality of Ausone's terroir and vine material, that seems entirely reasonable. The result is one of the most refined, classy Ausone vintages in recent years, and it will be exciting to follow these evolutions over the years to come.
97-99 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Ausone represents the entirety of the vineyard this year after trial blends convinced the Vauthiers not to make a Chapelle d’Ausone. There is also 5% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend for the first time, from five tiny plots located on a terrace close to the quarry, so that heat reflects off the wall to ensure ripening. It was picked between September 2 and 23. Almost immediately, I noticed how that soupçon of Cabernet Sauvignon tilts the style of the Grand Vin in a different and, to my mind, positive direction. Beautifully defined, a little more sapid, perhaps just a tad less precocious than usual, there is a sense of classicism in this Ausone that I admire, terroir over growing season perhaps? The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, real depth, silky smooth, with layers of blackberry and raspberry fruit and hints of white pepper and clove. Very long, with a peacock's tail on the finish, this is a fascinating and alluring Ausone that will age with style. Drink 2035-2065.

Checking in as a blend of 65% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon from 7.25 hectares of vines on a limestone hillside just outside the village of Saint-Emilion, the 2025 Château Ausone will spend 20 months in new barrels. The Merlot was harvested September 2-12, the Cabernet Franc September 15-18, and the Cabernet Sauvignon on the 18th, from yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare. It's a very classic expression from this château, with ripe black cherries, graphite, classy oak, liquid violets, and chalky minerality on the nose. On the palate, it's rich and medium to full-bodied, with a straight, focused, beautifully concentrated mouthfeel, plenty of chalky tannins, and a great finish. As with most Ausone, the cellar is going to be your friend.

A beautiful floral fragrance on the nose, smells like a wild meadow with a touch of toasted spice, vanilla and clove along with black chocolate and blackcurrants. Smooth and creamy, round and filling with a really bright core of fresh acidity backed by mouthwatering acidity and a fleshy but really cool finish. The juicy aspect is lovely – this is a fun Ausone dare I say it, with the focus on fruit purity and clarity. Certainly an elegant and finessed wine. Chewy, supple, forward and friendly. It’s not so dense but it is complex. Perhaps a touch hands off, but I love the cool freshness and the sense of direction. Nothing is out of place. Earliest harvest ever, started 2nd September with main harvest on the 8th. The first time to have Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend and no Chapelle this year, the first time since the second wine was introduced in 1994. 3.5pH. Ageing 100% new oak. A yield of 29hl/ha. Drink 2033-2050.

2025 Chateau Leoville Las Cases Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Julien, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$340. 00
Bottle
$4080.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Chateau Leoville Las Cases is one of the larger classified estates in Bordeaux, with the Second Growth Saint-Julien property totalling 98 hectares. Winemaking is very traditional, using old oak vats for fermentation, and up to 90% new French oak for maturation. While the wines can look rather austere in their youth, from great years they can resemble some of the finest First Growth wines as they reach maturity. The Chateau also produces a second wine, Le Petit Lion du Marquis de Las Cases (from 2009), which is not to be confused with Clos du Marquis, a wine that is always produced from a separate parcel and is considered a standalone brand.
Other Reviews...
One of the most serious, brooding wines of the vintage is the 2025 Léoville Las Cases, a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 6% Merlot. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, pencil shavings and creamy new oak, it's medium- to full-bodied, deep and dense, with prodigious reserves of sweet but assertive tannin, lively acids and a long, muscular finish. This will require patience.
96-98 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Léoville Las Cases is the earliest harvest since 1989, starting on September 5 until September 20. Yields are 23 hl/ha, with a soft extraction using air pumps introduced in 2019, and it was matured in 80% new oak. It is the third vintage made in the new, impressive facility. This has another intense nose, quite flamboyant for Las Cases due to the warmth of the summer, with hints of pencil shavings and cigar box coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied but very concentrated. Real depth and density here, very primal, with an intense, multi-layered finish that coats the mouth. Not a subtle Las Cases, nor should it be, though I aver that it will oblige long-term ageing. Drink 2035-2070.
96-98 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2025 Léoville Las Cases is powerful, tightly wound and very shut down—in other words, classic Las Cases. In some recent vintages, the Grand Vin has shown somewhat softer contours, but the 2025 is really a throwback to a more muscular, classically austere style. It offers tremendous persistence and sheer power, but beyond that, the wine is pretty hard to read in the early going, certainly much more so than any of the other wines in the Delon stable. I expect this will need many years to be at its most rewarding. Based on this en primeur sample, the 2025 is a wine for readers who have actuarial tables on their side. Drink 2040-2100.

The texture is fantastic, with superb aromas of graphite, blackberries and blueberries. Medium- to full-bodied with tannins that are pure and primary, like eating perfectly ripe grapes. It’s the high quality of the tannins. A very classic Las Cases. 82% cabernet sauvignon, 12% cabernet franc and 6% merlot.

James Suckling
Based on a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Merlot that's resting in 80% new barrels, the 2025 Château Léoville Las Cases is one of the wines of the vintage and just has an incredible sense of class, balance, purity, and richness. Harvest began on September 5th, the earliest ever for this estate, wrapping up on the 20th. Cassis, graphite, liquid minerality, and freshly sharpened pencil all define the nose, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with a round, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a blockbuster of a finish. If this doesn't make your eyes roll back in your head, nothing will. It checks in at 13.65% alcohol with a pH of 3.56.

A serious but classic Las Cases style with a fragrant nose of roses and violets, blackcurrant and plum. Grippy from the off, the Cabernet playing its part in giving structure straight away – so well defined. Power and focus, it’s ripe no doubt but with no dryness thanks to this fresh, mouthwatering fruit in the background – raspberry and cranberry, almost tart. Striking and quite a unique style: supple, energetic and vibrant yet still super coiled and tight. One to wait for with ageing for sure. Has the polish and lots of star power here – refined and focused. 3.56pH. Drink 2034-2055.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter
Deep and dark in color, it takes less than a second to know this is a wine that meshes power with concentration, sports a regal bearing, and delivers layer after layer of vibrant blackberries, cassis, currants, and black cherries with ease. The finish is long, expansive, mouth-filling, and powerful, with a strong mineral essence that adds sapidity. This is another Leoville Las Cases that will age and evolve for over 50 years. The wine blends 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Merlot. 13.6% ABV, 3.56 pH. Harvesting took place from September 5 to September 20. Yields were 23 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2032-2075.

2025 Clos du Marquis Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Julien, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$110. 00
Bottle
$1320.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Clos du Marquis is a serious wine that will reward patience. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, crème de cassis, violets and burning embers, it's medium- to full-bodied, deep and layered, with bright acids and a chassis of ripe, powdery but abundant tannins. The blend this year is 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc.
92-94 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Clos du Marquis was harvested between September 8 and 20 at 24 hl/ha and matured in 55% new oak for a planned 16 months. This has a fragrant and intense bouquet, with just a hint of lavender suffusing the black cherry and blackcurrant scents, more blue fruit surfacing with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied, with a powerful entry, quite precocious licorice-tinged black fruit. A little "heady" in style, I feel that the warmth of that summer comes through more here compared to the Las Cases. Drink 2032-2050.
91-93 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
Well framed, focused, textured and refined. Aromas of currants, dried herbs, baking spices and some bark. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins. Nice concentration that remains elegant and in control. Tight tannins. Lively finish.

James Suckling
Deep purple-hued and almost glass-staining, the 2025 Clos Du Marquis is a blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc that's being raised 16 months in 55% new barriques. Ripe black and blue fruits, graphite, and a crushed stone-like minerality all define the aromatics, and on the palate, it's full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, with ripe, polished tannins and a beautiful overall sense of purity and balance. It checks in at 13.6% alcohol with a pH of 3.57.
93-95 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Purple flowers and dark black fruit aromas. Rich in flavour, this is full of life, energy and depth with a soft chew to the tannins and ripe fleshy fruit but keeping a chalky cool element. Mouthfilling and very St-Julien this year – ripe and charming, friendly, so approachable – like a big hug. Juicy and mouthwatering though, this makes you smile! I love it, much more demonstrative than Le Petit right now. Gorgeous. Drink 2030-2050.

2025 Chateau Le Gay Pre-Arrival Offer

Pomerol, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$220. 00
Bottle
$2640.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Planted to 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, Chateau Le Gay is on a roll over recent vintages. Since 2005 the wines have started to reach the peaks they showed with legendary vintages from the 1940’s and 1950’s culminating with the stunning pair of 2015 and 2016.
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Le Gay is classy, elegant and polished. The purity of the fruit is just remarkable. I also sense a lighter hand with regards to extraction and oak, which really helps convey more Pomerol character while still exalting fruit. This is a sublime Le Gay. Yields were a minuscule 19 hectoliters per hectare. The 2025 underwent 12 days of cold soak followed by alcoholic fermentation in barrel, using indigenous yeast developed at the château, for about 15 days. Floral overtones perfume the finish. This is sublime stuff. Tasted two times. Drink 2033-2055.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous

James Suckling
Cassis, exotic red and blue fruits, spring flowers, graphite, and some chocolaty nuances all emerge from the 2025 Château Le Gay, a beautiful Pomerol based on 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc that will spend 14 months in new barrels. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a pure, graceful mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It might be one of the finest vintages of this cuvée I've tasted, so hats off to the team here.
95-97 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Aromatic and pure, this has much less obvious oak than usual with a focus on the purity of the blackcurrant and plum fruit. Excellent elegance and poise – still muscular with cedar, tobacco and liquorice elements but the fruit really shines. Plenty of push with a grippy finish. Strong but yummy. Drink 2033-2043.

2025 La Mondotte Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$250. 00
Bottle
$3000.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 La Mondotte is powerful yet understated. A rush of black cherry, lavender, sage, menthol, licorice and espresso conveys tons of intensity. Gravel, scorched earth and dried herbs add classic Mondotte savory and mineral dimensions. Broad, chocolatey tannins support the explosive mid-palate and finish. This really sizzles with limestone-infused energy. Drink 2035-2055.
95-97 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
A cool and salty wine with blackberries, black olives, crushed stone. Medium to full body with a crunchy and layered palate and a minerally and salient character. You can feel the limestone here. Supple at the end. From organically grown grapes. A blend of 70% merlot and 30% cabernet franc.
98-99 points
James Suckling
Deep purple/ruby-hued, the 2025 La Mondotte is based on 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc resting in 30% new barrels. Checking in at 13.5% alcohol, it has a limestone bomb-like profile in its red and black fruits, liquid violet, chalk, and graphite aromatics. On the palate, it's medium-bodied and focused, with fine tannins, beautiful balance, and outstanding length. It shows the focused, straight profile of this château today.
94-96+ points
Jeb Dunnuck
Marking its 30th vintage, Château La Mondotte continues to justify its stature as one of the smallest yet most compelling Premier Grand Cru Classé estates. From 70-year-old vines rooted in a 4.5-hectare parcel on the clay-limestone plateau east of Saint-Émilion, the wine reflects its terroir with precision: silty clay over a rocky subsoil, naturally regulating water and encouraging deep rooting, with excellent drainage and sun exposure ensuring full, early ripening. The aromatics are immediately captivating: crushed tobacco, violets, and a seamless interplay of red and black fruit. On the palate, there is remarkable energy and vivacity, the ripe fruit carried by vibrant, finely tuned structure. There’s both depth and lift here, a sense of concentration without weight, as everything seems to glide rather than press. A fabulous expression of site and vine age, and a standout in the appellation. Bravo! Drink 2032-2048.

2025 Chateau La Conseillante Pre-Arrival Offer

Pomerol, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$430. 00
Bottle
$5160.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
As a wine often compared to Burgundy, Chateau La Conseillante produce one of the most refined and elegant examples in all of Bordeaux. Vines here are planted to 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, and are situated on some of the finest land in Pomerol (with a touch of Saint-Emilion!).
Other Reviews...
The 2025 La Conseillante is another brilliant wine in the making for this Pomerol reference point. Wafting from the glass with aromas of ripe mulberries and blackberries mingled with hints of violets and truffle, it's medium- to full-bodied, deep and unctuous, with lively acids, ultra-refined tannins and a long, floral finish. It's a blend of 87% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon (from new plantings that already make it into the blend) that attained 13.5% alcohol. Fermentations were capped at 26 degrees Celsius, the coolest ever, to extract selectively, and the entire production is maturing in barriques this year.
97-100 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 La Conseillante is shaping up to be magnificent. Rich and luscious in the glass, the 2025 offers up an exotic mélange of inky dark fruit, cloves, new leather, licorice and mocha. This is the first vintage that sees the return of Cabernet Sauvignon, historically a part of the blend from at least 1871 to 1956, when frost devastated many vineyards in Pomerol. The 2025 is impressively deep, but also quite vibrant. I can't wait to see how it ages. It's a superb effort from Technical Director Marielle Cazaux and her team. Cazaux made an immediate impact when she arrived in 2015, starting with a move to lower-intervention farming that was immediately apparent. I will have more to say about that and other related subjects in a separate article we will publish later in the year. Tasted two times. Drink 2035-2065.
96-98 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Complex already, with blackberry, blueberry, currant and mint aromas that follow through to a medium body with firm tannins and a savory, juicy finish with fresh herbs and an almost rose stem undertone. You can feel the grape skins. Very primary. 87% merlot, 10 cabernet franc and 3% cabernet sauvignon.
97-98 points
James Suckling
Brought up all in barrels with no amphora used in this vintage, the 2025 Château La Conseillante is an ultra-classic Conseillante with a very floral perfume of cassis, assorted red and blue fruits, violets, iris, lead pencil shavings, and graphite. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a concentrated yet focused, juicy, lively mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a gorgeous finish. Checking in at 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.66, this beautiful Conseillante has the purity and balance to offer pleasure early on yet, like most vintages here, will need 7-8 years to hit its prime drinking plateau.
96-98+ points
Jeb Dunnuck
A really assured La Conseillante with exceptional balance and so much pleasure to offer. Fragrant aromas on the nose with floral aspects, violets, some savoury earthy notes, black chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon spice, blood orange and iron. Smooth and sapid with such vibrant energy straight away – quite tight tannins still, firm and streamlined but really delicate and precise. A grip of liquorice and flint on the finish means this ends cool, crisp and spiced. Really nuanced in flavours, a little darker and more complex in aromatics than La Conseillante can sometimes be, yet with such intensity and no heaviness. It would have been easy to make a more muscular wine but this is sleek and so defined. The team applied zinc oxide as sunscreen and used mulching to protect soil humidity. First time including Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend. 3.66pH. A yield of 30hl/ha. 85% grand vin (never reached this high before). Ageing in 70% new oak and 30% one-year-old barrels (no amphora this year). Drink 2030-2048.

Primarily Lovedale, some old vine, with some 8 acres, and a new (but old) block that sits over from the winery on sandy soil that was purchased from Draytons.
Slightly peachy, citrus, pink grapefruit, a bit floral but not estery: very clean. Bright, flavoursome, a nice chalky pucker to texture, lime and lime rind, nicely balanced, sherbetty acidity, with juicy grapefruit finish of excellent length. A lot of energy here and a very good wine. A tickle of spritz. A fair bit of crunch. Excellent. Drink 2024-2038+

A classically styled, elegant semillon with tremendous flavour bound within a tight, well-crafted structure. Ripe citrus flavours are complemented by sublime freshness and a chiselled acid line. The hand-picked fruit is sourced entirely from estate vineyards. Beautiful in its youth, yet poised to age with grace. Drink by 2034.

Other Reviews…..
The Blue Poles Reserve Merlot is a wine for the patient, and perhaps, one for the aesthetes among us, whereas this Cabernet Franc brings the noise. And I’d have to say, that’s maybe a topsy turvy thing given the grape varieties in play.
This is dark and powerful, blue and black fruit, cocoa powder, some redcurrant crunch, five spice and perfume, something of a roast red capsicum thing here that leans into varietal correctness. It’s medium to full-bodied, plenty of thick sweet graphite tannin grip, something of an exotic curry spice element, fresh acidity, and a finish of quite some amplitude and length, lavish bitter dark chocolate tannin and black tea perfume to close. Feels cool in the mouth, but it’s such a delicious warm ride all the same. Fair play to Blue Poles – they’ve knocked it out of the park with this release. Drink 2026-2035+

A number of picks at different levels of sugar ripeness, wild fermentations and a range of different techniques see this wine becoming finer, firmer in acid drive and more lively in fresh citrus, while retaining its textural component. A burst of lemon, honeysuckle, grapefruit and citrus blossom aromas with light spice, apple and hazelnut. Delves a little deeper on the palate, with a core of solids-derived complexity on show and fruit concentration alongside brisk acidity. Super fresh and bright with the promise of delivering more with time. Drink by 2035.

For me, this is the pick of the Sakura range. Organic Shiraz from the Central Ranges in New South Wales, the colour is a gleaming magenta. The nose gives us notes of chocolate, mocha, cold tea, charcuterie, blackberries, florals, boysenberries and spices. A lifted style which is seamless in structure, through to very fine and sleek tannins, offering a line of bright acidity. The wine is well balanced throughout and there is good length. A wine for enjoying anytime over the next six to eight years. Drink 2026-2034.
