Other Reviews…..
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.

I poured this Main Divide Pinot Noir at the Pinot Palooza event last year and my challenge to allcomers was simple: find me a better value Pinot in the room. No one could and I doubt you will either.
Main Divide is Pegasus Bay's second-tier offering. For those who can't afford the elevated prices of top Pinots, you are in very good hands here. Savoury deluxe in the Pegasus Bay style, it opens with dried leaves, twigs, pine needles, mushroom broth and tilled earth. The dark berry fruit has a slight abrasive, rustic edge entwined with woodsy and earthy spices. A meaty finish washes through - think cured meats and salami adding intrigue and depth. With its interplay of fruit, savoury nuance and length, this is an impressively complete Pinot Noir for the price. Go here.

2025 L'If Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$199. 00
Bottle
$2388.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 L'If is a total stunner. It's like no other vintage I have tasted thus far, perhaps because of the high percentage (25%) of Cabernet Franc. Chalk, mint, white pepper, blood orange and jasmine are some of the many notes that gradually open in the glass. A saline edge shapes the brisk mid-palate and brilliant, chiseled finish. Magnificent. The best L'If to date. Tasted two times. Drink 2035-2065.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Medium- to full-bodied and chalky but charming, with definition and clarity. 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc. Best ever.
97-98 points
Jacobo García Andrade - JamesSuckling.com
A brilliant and already expressive wine, the 2025 L'If comes from limestone and clay soils near Troplong Mondot, with fruit harvested between September 11th and 19th before anticipated rains arrived. Incredibly limestone-driven aromatics of black raspberries, chalky minerality, violets, and graphite all shine on the nose, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a pure, focused mouthfeel, polished fine tannins, and beautifully integrated yet high acidity. The purity, vibrancy, and sheer vividness of this is incredible.
93-95+ points
Jeb Dunnuck
One of the absolute stars of the vintage in St-Emilion. Smells incredible with such perfumed violet fragrance and clear blackcurrant scents, really so vivid with a vibrant pink colour in the glass. Supple and juicy, clearly refined from the start with super fine tannins – gently grippy – with a lick of liquorice, wet stone and some tobacco and dark chocolate. I like the clarity and clean grip to this. Feels fresh, so St-Emilion and so limestone based with fantastic energy, a touch chalky but not dominant. Alive with enough grip and flesh to be weighty but really not fleshy or chewy, and very cool – cola, blueberries and flint. Delicious and accomplished with everything in harmony and nothing sticking out. This should shape up nicely over ageing with even a few minutes in the glass gaining in chew and texture. Harvest 11-19 September. 3.28pH. Ageing currently 50% new oak (may reduce to around 40%). Drink 2032-2047.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter
Flowers, black raspberries, mint, cherries, and crushed rocks form the perfume. The palate is creamy, rich, lush, and fruity. The fruits stand out for their textural profile, energy, freshness, and elegance, which is all there in spades. The wine finishes with chocolate-covered cherries, plums, mineral-influences and a touch of spice. The wine blends 75% Merlot with 25% Cabernet Franc, 13.6% ABV, 3.28 pH. The harvest took place, September 11 - September 19. Drink from 2030-2060.

2025 Chateau Beausejour (J. Duffau-Lagarrosse) Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$330. 00
Bottle
$3960.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
A blend of 69% Merlot and 31% Cabernet Franc, the 2025 Beauséjour (Duffau Lagarrosse) unwinds in the glass with notes of violets and sweet wild berries, displaying lovely purity and integration. Medium- to full-bodied, concentrated and layered, with bright acids, ripe tannins and a penetrating finish, it's Joséphine Duffau Lagarrosse's most accomplished wine to date, showing just what this exceptional limestone terroir is capable of.
96-98 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Beauséjour J. Duffau-Lagarrosse is a fabulous, contemporary Saint-Émilion. Notes of lavender, rose petal and mocha lift the effortless bouquet. Silky tannins and deceptively mid-weight structure are some of the signatures. Stylistically, Beauséjour is one of the most aromatic, understated wines in Saint-Émilion. Bright red-toned fruit, spice and pomegranate unfold with time in the glass. Drink 2035-2065.
95-97 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
So much clarity and precision in this wine. Medium-bodied, restrained and elegant, with a subtle, chalky texture and a very fine, even structure. Elegant, precise profile. 69% merlot and 31% cabernet franc.

Jacobo García Andrade - JamesSuckling.com
The 2025 Château Beauséjour (Duffau-Lagarrosse) is a deep ruby-hued Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé harvested between September 5th and 19th from healthy yields of 39 hectoliters per hectare. It has a gorgeous perfume of cassis and black cherries intermixed with beautiful floral nuances of rose and violets, graphite, and crushed stone-like minerality. On the palate, it has incredible purity, perfect ripeness, ripe yet building tannins, and a great finish. Hitting 13.7% alcohol with a pH of 3.39, it shows the vintage's juicy, fresher style yet brings gorgeous mid-palate depth and length.
97-99 points
Jeb Dunnuck
What a brilliant wine in 2025 – a very true, very authentic and very hands-off wine while delivering superb freshness and vitality. Rose petals with such a floral fragrance, really crystalline and pure with peonies and violets alongside strawberry and red cherry. Softly chewy, immediately really quite fun and friendly in the mouth – purity is the focus here with such clarity and crystalline juiciness. Lightly presented with no muscle or heft, it’s all about the delicacy and freshness. Very limestone but not overly tense. Vibrant but not with citrus acidity. I love the gentleness with salty stones and velvety, powdery tannins on the finish. Juicy, clean, focused and lovely with a very soft chew that emerges after a few minutes. More Merlot now goes into the second wine with the goal of 30% Cabernet Franc in this wine. 3.39pH. A yield of 39hl/ha. Ageing in 55% new oak and the rest one-year-old barrels. Drink 2032-2050.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter
The aromatic profile serves up its display of flowers, plums, and chocolate, with a touch of orange rind, with ease. The palate is where the wine shines. Silky, lifted, elegant, vibrant, and with marine influences, the fruits express a beautiful purity that comes through due to their sweet, fresh, and lively character. There is body, concentration, depth of flavor, refinement, and energy that are immediately noticeable. The finish is long, complex, and expansive, allowing the wine to linger gracefully. The wine blends 69% Merlot with 31% Cabernet Franc, 13.9% ABV, 3.39 pH. Yields were 39 hectoliters per hectare. The harvest took place September 5 - September 19. Drink from 2030 - 2060.

A nicely fleshed, mid weighted Chardonnay with lively acidity lending a brisk feel across the refined conclusion.
Brilliant pale straw colour with green tinged edges and a watery hue. Nectarine, pear and subtle dried honey scents flow through the nostrils followed by some citrusy nougat and delicate gun flint notes. Nicely fleshed, the mid weighted palate features nectarine, pear and citrus fruits over a dried honey, subtle biscuity nougat and flint back drop. Lively acidity lending a brisk feel across the refined conclusion.

It is early days for this very fine Margaret River Chardonnay, which surely has more improvement in it. The fermentation is with wild yeasts. The colour is a shining yet deep yellow, while the nose reveals notes of grapefruit, cashews, stone fruits, peaches, apricot kernels and just a hint of well-integrated oak. There is a seductive texture here, and the palate sees notes of crushed almonds emerge. A Chardonnay of persistence and focus, enjoy this over the next six to eight years. Drink 2025-2033.

2025 Chateau L'Eglise Clinet Pre-Arrival Offer

Pomerol, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$620. 00
Bottle
$7440.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 L'Eglise-Clinet was picked on 4 and 5 September for the Merlot and the same days plus 12 September for the Cabernet Franc; this vintage matured in 75% new oak. The aromatics are timid at first, but unfurl in the glass, revealing enticing scents of raspberry, wild strawberry, truffle oil and cedar. The oak is beautifully integrated, and it gains delineation with each swirl. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine tannins, one of the most mineral-driven L'Eglise-Clinet wines that I have tasted from barrel, gaining cohesion and poise, with perfectly judged acidity and a gentle but insistent grip on the finish. There is a verticality to this Pomerol that gives it a more cerebral slant compared to the 2022, but it is still quite delicious. That said, I would still give it a few years in bottle. Drink 2033-2060.

Neal Martin - Vinous
The definition, freshness and complexity are very impressive already. It’s like a finished wine. It’s medium-bodied with precise and vivid flavors of blackberries and cool olives. Long, energetic and dense yet not heavy. Classy. A blend of 90% merlot and 10% cabernet franc.
97-98 points
James Suckling
Red and blue fruits, sappy spring flowers, violets, graphite, and chocolate all define the 2025 Château L'Eglise Clinet, a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc resting in 75% new oak. Coming from tiny yields with no saignée and very little press wine, the harvest ran from September 4th through the 12th, and the result is a rich, powerful, yet finesse-driven Pomerol with fine, polished tannins and a wonderful sense of freshness. It's going to require some patience, but it will undoubtedly be worth it.
97-99 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Ripe blackcurrant and cherry aromas with some dried herbs and floral aspects – liquorice, cola, cinnamon, violets, peonies and bramble berries. Intense and concentrated from the start with equally vibrant acidity to match the quite lively, ripe and fresh fruit. Well textured, crushed velvet in the mouth, immediately quite serious and profound. Dark, heady, sexy almost but still relatively compact and tightly wound right now. Firm, fresh, lively but balanced acidity and dark fruit with a liquorice and salty edge. Incredibly compelling, a wine you want to sit with. Still quite high acidity – I think ageing will round this out and add a touch of gloss. A yield of 33hl/ha. Ageing 75% new oak. Drink 2033-2060.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter
Violets, lilies, chocolate, espresso, plums, black cherries, and truffle aromatics already pop in the perfume. The palate is where the action really takes place. With just a swirl, and sip, you find concentrated layers of fleshy, opulent, creamy-textured, fruits, berries, chocolate, wet earth, and espresso. The complex, and powerful, velvet-drenched, opulent, lengthy finish continues along the same theme with a vibrant, polish to the hedonistic end notes that keep everything going long after your glass has been finished. The wine is produced from a blend of 90% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc, 14.5% ABV. The harvest took place September 4 - September 12. Drink from 2030-2065.

2025 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Julien, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$280. 00
Bottle
$3360.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
As a relatively large estate in Saint-Julien, the 75 hectare Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou estate is planted to 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, at a density of 10,000 vines per hectare. They also own a small parcel of land in Haut-Medoc. Changes in the winery, and a greater focus on parcel selection for the Grand Vin has resulted in a reduction in output from around 20,000 cases per year in the 1980’s to around 10,000 cases today. And the wines have never looked better. The pair of 2009 and 2010, along with the 2016 are considered standouts for the region, intense and concentrated efforts that will live for many years to come.
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Ducru-Beaucaillou is fabulous. Vibrant red/purplish fruit, rose petal, lavender, mint and blood orange are all beautifully sculpted. The purity of the fruit is just remarkable. New oak is 100%, but lower toast levels and a more dialed-in approach here are palpable. Gorgeous floral and savory Cabernet top notes lift the finish. Superb, and one of the highlights of the year, Ducru is absolutely stunning in 2025. Drink 2035-2065.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous
The intensity is very impressive on the nose, with black currants, raspberries and graphite. Medium- to full-bodied with a powerful structure of steely tannins that are polished and long. Turns fluid, fine and chewy at the end. Wait and see. A blend of 79% cabernet sauvignon and 21% merlot.
96-97 points
James Suckling
Deep purple-hued and completely opaque, the blockbuster 2025 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou checks in as 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and 21% Merlot, all resting in 100% new barrels. The nose is rich and concentrated, with pure crème de cassis, graphite, ripe black cherries, spicy wood, and freshly sharpened pencil-driven aromatics. On the palate, it's full-bodied, with a dense, concentrated mid-palate, ripe, building tannins, and a great finish. It checks in at 13.44% alcohol with a pH of 3.8. This structured, pure, and incredibly precise Ducru reminds me slightly of the 2010, with perhaps a touch more finesse.
97-99 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Such a vivid and vibrant colour in the glass with a bright pink rim. Ripe almost heady aromatics – perfumed bramble fruits with a dried floral aspect and dark chocolate. Ripe and massy in the mouth, not as sexy and smooth as Ducru can be, this is more grainy and a little grippy with the tannins and structure clearly on show and dark fruit in the background. Serious, sultry even, with oak on show – liquorice and clove spice. The aromatic display is quite incredible, certainly full of intensity but this hasn't settled yet. Mouthwatering acidity, great tannin structure, there’s a lot going on with this wine. Ends cool and fresh and lifted. I love the intensity, quite unlike many other wines this vintage – this is built like a racehorse, muscular and filling but chewy and soft too. I love the personality and think this wine has a long life ahead. There’s purity, clarity and gloss. 3.74pH. A yield of 22hl/ha. Harvest 2–23 September. Drink 2034-2050.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter
5 Spice, roses, irises, and white flowers are only part of the aromatic display. You also enjoy licorice, espresso, smoke, tobacco, blackberries, and black cherries. However, the palate owns the show with its display of sensuous, silky, refined black and red fruits, Asian spices, chocolate, herbs, and mint leaf. The expansive finish combines power with elegance. Everything is in balance, providing a lingering, seamless endnote that allows you to experience the purity and wealth of fruit, which lingers for over 60 seconds. Produced from blending 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 21% Merlot, 13.44% ABV, 3.74 pH. Picking took place from September 2 -- September 23. 2025 marks the earliest and the longest harvest in the history of the estate. Yields were 22 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2032-2070.

2025 Chateau Beau-Sejour Becot Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$135. 00
Bottle
$1620.00 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.
98-100 points
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.
97-98 points
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.
97-99 points
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.

Another sleeper of the vintage, the 2025 Joanin Bécot is as gourmand and energetic as ever, revealing aromas of iris, lilac, dark berries and flowers. Medium- to full-bodied, juicy and enveloping, it’s tense and vibrant, built around a perfumed, fruit-driven mid-palate that leads to an ethereal, floral finish. It's a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc.

The 2025 Joanin-Bécot is fabulous. Dark and sumptuous, with gorgeous fruit purity, the 2025 is positively stellar. I don’t think I have tasted a Joanin-Bécot with this much intensity and sheer textural presence. Inky dark red/purplish fruit, spice, new leather, dried flowers and lavender open first, followed by a range of floral and savory Cabernet Franc overtones. Clay-rich soils lend notable breadth and presence. The resonant, expansive finish is stunning. Drink 2028-2040.

A fresh and fruity red with pleasant aromas of berries, light orange peel and blossoms. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Round and juicy finish. Salty at the end.

Black raspberry, cassis, graphite, sappy flowers, and some chalky minerality all emerge from the 2025 Château Joanin Bécot, a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc from Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux. It's medium-bodied on the palate, beautifully balanced, and elegantly textured, with fine, polished tannins. It's another brilliant wine from this family that readers should snatch up, and it will stand side by side with a brilliant Saint-Émilion. Buy a case and thank me later.

Wonderful fragrance on the nose, smells gorgeous with ripe back fruit and wild purple flowers. Sapid and lithe, this is fresh and so fruity - really forward and alive. So juicy, almost tart but more like freshly picked strawberry juice with a citrus tang to the acidity as well as a chalky base. Mouthwatering but also ripe in terms of fleshy tannins and fresh acidity. A lovely combination with a lot going on. So ripe in terms of texture - velvety and almost creamy - but so fresh - cool mint, aniseed, slate and flint with that liquorice bite on the finish. A yield of 39hl/ha. 3.50pH. Drink 2027-2037.

2025 Chateau Pavie Macquin Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$125. 00
Bottle
$1500.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Pavie Macquin is a powerful, structured wine. In most vintages, Pavie Macquin is sensual and silky, but the 2025 is quite tannic in this tasting. Dark-fleshed fruit, chocolate, menthol, licorice, sage and lavender add to an impression of brooding density and pure power. Floral top notes lift the close. I can't wait to see how this ages. Tasted two times. Drink 2033-2065.
95-97 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Perfumed and clear, with aromas of raspberries, flowers and citrus. Medium-bodied, showing fine tannins and a tangy finish with salty undertones. A linear and complex wine with unique balance. 14.1% alcohol. 78% merlot, 20% cabernet franc and 2% cabernet sauvignon.
97-98 points
James Suckling
Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Château Pavie Macquin is a blend of 78% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon that will spend 16-20 months in 40% new oak. I was able to taste this on multiple occasions, and it's clear this is an incredibly concentrated yet fresher-styled 2025 from this château. Exotic blue fruits, crushed stone, liquid violets, and gun smoke all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a deep, concentrated mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a beautiful finish. This terroir always yields a very fresh, mineral-driven style of wine, but this brings a lot of acidity, hitting 14.1% alcohol with a very low pH of 3.23 from 30 hectoliters per hectare. It reminds me slightly of the 2016.
94-96 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Quite dark liquorice, black chocolate and toasted notes on the nose, round and softly plump with fleshy tannins and a really bright, almost brisk core of crunchy. cranberry-edged acidity. Straightforward with a structured frame of firm tannins and toasted oak. It’s not yet harmonised and the acidity is quite accentuated which is almost always the case but I do like the generous and friendly tannins which make it that little bit more soft and charming. Drink 2030-2048.

2025 Chateau Troplong Mondot Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$225. 00
Bottle
$2700.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
Picked between August 28 and September 25 (surely one of the broadest ranges in Bordeaux this year, but logical considering the estate's different altitudes and aspects), the 2025 Troplong Mondot is one of the wines of the vintage. Exhibiting a deep bouquet of blackberries and plums complemented by floral accents of lilac, iris and subtle spices, it's full-bodied, deep and dense, with a brooding core of fruit girdled by bright acids and sweet but abundant tannins. A blend of 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, it will rival the 2022, though in vintage signature the two years are very different.
98-100 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Troplong Mondot is one of the most finessed wines I have ever tasted here. Dark, ample and explosive, with mind-blowing purity, the 2025 simply has it all. Hints of dried herbs, chocolate, menthol, licorice and blackberry infuse the wine with remarkable concentration and pure power. Even with all its natural richness, the 2025 is not at all heavy. A totally stunning Saint-Émilion, Troplong Mondot is very clearly one of the wines of the vintage. Harvest started on August 28 (the earliest ever) and wrapped up nearly a month later on September 25, which illustrates how diverse the terroirs are here. Aging was in 50% new oak, 40% 20HL foudre and 10% once-filled barrels. Tasted two times. Drink 2035-2075.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous
A very structured wine with blackberry, hazelnut, dark chocolate, violet and some black licorice aromas. Full-bodied but in a reserved way, with super framing of the fine tannins. Elegant and structured. Fun to taste. 13.9% alcohol. 85% merlot, 13% cabernet sauvignon and 2% cabernet sauvignon.
97-98 points
James Suckling
Since 2020, this estate has been fashioning absolutely brilliant releases, and the pure, graceful 2025 Château Troplong Mondot does everything right. Black raspberry, crushed stone, spicy graphite, and assorted floral notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a pure, layered mouthfeel, beautiful mid-palate concentration, and a great finish. It's one of those rare wines that brings remarkable intensity and depth with no sensation of weight, and this comes closest in style to the 2020.
97-99 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Lovely rose petal fragrance on the nose, floral and expressive with some dried herbs, dark bramble fruit and licks of liquorice. Round and sleek at the same time with a gorgeous texture and energy from the start. Chewy but so delicate, a soft grip and cushioning of the juicy, mouthwatering yet cool red berry fruit and really crystalline salty-edged tannins. I love the gentle frame here, so different to 2022 but so pleasurable. There’s density for sure but you just don’t feel any heaviness or overt muscle. Silky, grippy with a salty bite and fresh finish. Almost understated from Troplong – full of juicy acidity and supportive tannins. I feel this will fill out over ageing. Director Aymeric de Gironde said 2025 is: ‘A mix of 2022 intensity and 2023 brightness but more mineral.’ 3.43pH. Overall yield of 27hl/ha. Ageing 50% new oak, 40% foudre, and10% one-year-old barrels with the goal of moving towards more foudre in future. Drink 2032-2049.

Blackberries, licorice, flowers, and chocolate are showcased in the perfume. There is an exceptional level of lift and vibrancy, paired with marine influences that drive the wine before you delve into its layers of perfectly ripe, black cherries, and plums. Elegant, powerful, long and juicy, there is a gorgeous sapidity in the finish that you cannot help but like. The wine blends 85% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Cabernet Franc. 14% ABV, 3.5 pH. Harvesting took place August 29 - September 20, making this the earliest start to a harvest in the history of the estate. Aging is taking place in a combination of 50% new, French oak barrels, foudres, and 1-year-old barrels. Drink from 2030-2060.

2025 Clos Fourtet Pre-Arrival Offer

Bottle
$2100.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
Unfurling in the glass with notes of dark berries, plum and kirsch mingled with hints of iris and anise, the 2025 Clos Fourtet is full-bodied, ample and layered, with a multidimensional textural profile, tangy acids and a long and penetrating finish. To moderate extraction, fermentations were kept cool, at around 24 degrees Celsius, with only punching down. It's a blend of 84% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon.
94-96 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Clos Fourtet is elegant, polished and super refined. Bracing mineral notes cut through a core of dark red and blue-toned fruit. Spice, mocha, new leather and licorice all meld together. Seamless and profoundly elegant, the 2025 impresses with its sensual personality, soft contours and magnificent balance. Time in the glass brings out touches of blood orange and white pepper that lend explosive brilliance through to the gorgeous, sustained finish. The team opted for cool fermentations in the cellar. Most lots saw 21-26 days on skins, which is on the shorter side. Clos Fourtet has recently shifted to doing malolactic fermentation in tank instead of in barrel, which has naturally lowered the wines' oak imprint, highlighted fruit purity and softened their contours. The 2025 is positively stellar. Tasted two times. Grand Vin. Drink 2035-2065.
96-98 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
A deep and layered red with chocolate, berry, cherry, orange peel and some limestone aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with lovely fruit and a tangy and vivid finish. Bright acidity comes out at the end. The clarity of fruit is exceptional. 84% merlot, 10% cabernet franc and 6% cabernet sauvignon.
97-98 points
James Suckling
Deep ruby-hued and showing a dense, inward, powerful profile that may be due to a higher percentage of Cabernet Franc than normal, the 2025 Clos Fourtet offers ripe currants, black cherries, graphite, scorched earth, and chocolatey nuances that define the bouquet, and it's full-bodied on the palate, with deep, layered mid-palate richness, ripe tannins, and a great finish. Based on 84% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon from clay and limestone soils, it's going to need time, but it's certainly loaded with potential.
96-98 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Ripe and heady blackcurrant aromas on the nose. Smells concentrated but fresh too. Supple and so juicy, really beautiful acidity giving tension but matched to ripe strawberries which give a gentle chew and a cooling blueberry touch with a chalky, flint and graphite finish. Friendly, balanced, smooth. There’s power but energy and elegance – this is beautiful, such a gorgeous texture. Great minerality with chalky tannins but nothing too much or out of place. A real wine of its place. A yield of 28hl/ha. 3.40pH. Malolactic fermentation in tank then ageing in just less than 40% new oak and the rest in one year old barrels 58% and 2% clay amphora. Drink 2032-2046.

2025 Chateau Haut-Brion Pre-Arrival Offer

Pessac Leognan, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$850. 00
Bottle
$10200.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Long before the 1855 classification of Bordeaux, Chateau Haut-Brion were renowned for their quality and style. When Thomas Jefferson visited the region in 1787 he noted the quality of wines in the area, creating his own hierarchy that listed Chateau Haut-Brion along with Chateau Latour, Chateau Margaux, and Chateau Lafite and the finest wines of Bordeaux. This same elite group were later given First Growth status, and Haut-Brion remains the only estate outside of the Medoc to claim this honour. Located near the city of Bordeaux, the 48 hectare Chateau Haut-Brion vineyard is planted to 48% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot for the reds, while the whites are a mix of 51% Semillon and 49% Sauvignon Blanc.
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Haut-Brion is, as usual, more reserved and austere at this stage than La Mission, unwinding in the glass to reveal notions of dark wild berries mingled with spices, pencil leaf and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and layered, it’s built around a multidimensional core of fruit framed by structuring yet well-integrated tannins, delivering a notably controlled expression of power and concluding with a long, perfumed, subtly ethereal finish. While still tightly knit at this stage, it possesses considerable depth—IPT (an alaytical measure of tannic concentration) levels exceeding 100, rarely observed—that is perfectly controlled and will require extended cellaring. Recent refinements in the estate’s approach, notably in viticulture, are translating into fruit of greater balance and freshness, even under the warm, dry conditions of 2025. It stands as one of the more impressive renditions of Haut-Brion in recent years.
98-100 points
Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Haut-Brion was picked from September 1 (slightly later than La Mission) to September 18 at 29 hl/ha. Aged in 59% new oak, this has a very pure and elegant bouquet with ebullient brambly red fruit, crushed stone, potpourri and touches of Earl Grey. Wonderful delineation and a little more refined than, say, the 2020 or 2022. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins, and there is more complexity here than La Mission, more depth and minéralité. Fresh and marine-tinged towards the finish that makes you want to come back. This year, the First Growth has put a bit of distance between itself and La Mission. Drink 2035-2070.

Neal Martin - Vinous
Haut-Brion delivers a red with great structure and length and superb intensity and power. It is a full-bodied red with character and depth, giving it endless length. Muscular yet polished and agile. Juicy at the end. 62% merlot, 26.2% cabernet sauvignon and 11.8% cabernet franc.

James Suckling
A Merlot-forward blend of 62% Merlot, 26.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 11.8% Cabernet Franc aged in 60% new French oak, the 2025 Château Haut-Brion is slightly more dense and structured compared to its sibling, La Mission. Gorgeous black cherries, graphite, scorched earth, and smoke all define the bouquet, and on the palate it's remarkably pure, with polished, serious tannins, and incredible length. Its purity, concentration, and overall sense of class are riveting.
97-100 points
Jeb Dunnuck
One of the wines of the vintage for me and a clear contender for a 100–point score in bottle. Sticky liquorice and blackcurrant fruit on the nose, dark and slightly heady with fragrant jasmine aspects. Bright, alive, glossy and so perfectly weighted on the palate – more streamlined than LMHB at this point but still with chew and bounce. Lovely vibrancy capturing the ripe fruit of the vintage with a crisp, tense and cool base of spiced raspberries, cherries and touches of cranberry. Stony but delicately leaving a soft gravel and salinity on the tongue. Delicious – this knocks it out of the park. Adore it! A yield of 26hl/ha. Drink 2034-2060.

At the moment, it takes a bit of effort to fully appreciate the aromatics. But with swirling, you find flowers, Cuban cigars, black pit fruits, blackberries, smoke, mesquite, blue fruits, herbs, and exotic spices. On the palate, the fruit purity will knock out any wine taster. Elegant, silky, long, and precise, the seamless finish starts slowly and builds from there. Seamless in its delivery, this is a sublime vintage for Haut Brion. The wine was shaped in part by its dry summer and August rains, which lowered the ABV level and provided more lift to the concentrated berries. The wine blends 62% Merlot, 26.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 11.8% Cabernet Franc. 13% ABV, 3.7 pH. Picking took place September 1 - September 18. Yields were 29 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2030-2075.

2025 Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron Pre-Arrival Offer

Pauillac, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$280. 00
Bottle
$3360.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron was formed when Baron Joseph de Pichon Longueville finally passed in 1850 after managing the large estate for 70 years, dividing it amongst his children. Two fifths of the estate went to his two sons and became Pichon Baron as we know it today, while three fifths went to his three daughters and became Chateau Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. While the 73 hectare estate is planted to 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot, the last two varietals are used exclusively on the second wine; Les Tourelles de Longueville. Annual production is around 18,000 cases.
Other Reviews...
A brilliant achievement, the 2025 Pichon-Longueville Baron, a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot (70% new oak), features a notably high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon for a warm vintage, exceeding that of 2020 and 2022. It reveals a refined bouquet of dark wild berries, cassis, spice, lead pencil and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, it’s built around a fleshy, finely structured core of fruit with a distinctly Cabernet-driven profile, combining freshness and tension with notable depth. It should age gracefully over the next two to three decades.
96-98 points
Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Silky, aromatic and layered in the glass, the 2025 Pichon Baron is a total stunner. What a wine. Sweet red cherry/plum fruit, blood orange and rose petal are some of the many notes that caress the palate. Hints of pomegranate, mint and exotic spice appear later, adding layers of nuance. The wine's striking mid-palate sweetness and overall balance are the stuff dreams are made of. This is exquisite. Yields were just 24 hectoliters per hectare. The 2025 is expected to spend 18 months in French oak, 70% new. Drink 2035-2065.

A Cabernet-dominant blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Merlot that will spend 18 months in 70% new barrels with the balance in once-used oak, the 2025 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron sports a deep purple hue as well as a ripe bouquet of cassis, blueberries, crushed stone, and liquid violets. On the palate, it's full-bodied, with a round, layered, sexy mouthfeel, tons of fruit, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. Checking in at 13.3% alcohol with a pH of 3.72, it's one of the more sunny, voluptuous, sexy wines in the vintage.

Jeb Dunnuck
Dark berry fruit aromas. Ripe and grippy, this takes hold straight away with upfront tannins making their mark, covering the mouth in a fine layer of chalkiness but with a cool, wet stone element too. So mineral, very transparent in terms of terroir expression. Lithe and focused, there’s tension as well as. You can feel the muscles of the Cabernet but there’s a slightly chew and juiciness behind the tannin wall. Very precise, with meticulous detail to the tannins, fruit, and cooling acidity. Sophisticated and very enjoyable, if more tense at this point than some others. Blueberry and plum and fresh mint. There’s a real delicacy, pixelated aspect to the overall expression – grand and majestic. Harvest started on 8 September. 3.72pH. Drink 2034-2050.

Georgina Hindle - Decanter
The complex aromatic profile expresses flowers, black currants, licorice, black cherries, cocoa, espresso, cigar wrappers, and a touch of mint. The palate delivers a beautiful combination of vitality, sweetness, energy, and purity in the fruits. The long, vibrant finish is packed with layers of fruits. Yet, even with all the concentration, there is an elegance, and regal charm meshed with power. The endnotes continue expanding, and building long after the wine has left the glass. This modern classic will be great with just 3-5 years of bottle age. It also has the potential to age and evolve for 3 - 4 decades. The vintage was shaped in large part by daily tastings of the berries in each parcel, and even single rows of vines, seeking the best moment to pick. Another factor was which tanks to use for fermentations as well as what parcels went into specific tanks due to the vintages low yields. The wine blends 84% Cabernet Sauvignon with 16% Merlot. 13.3% ABV, 3.72 pH. The harvest took place September 8 - September 24. This marks the earliest start for a harvest in the history of the estate. Yields were quite low at 24 hectoliters per hectare. The wine is aging in 70% new, French oak barrels. Drink from 2032-2070.

The 2025 Les Griffons de Pichon Baron is absolutely gorgeous. Broad, ample and creamy in the glass, the 2025 is seriously beautiful right out of the gate. Black cherry, plum, new leather, licorice, incense and mocha flesh out the layers effortlessly. The blend is 62% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc, but the Cabernets really drive the flavor profile and structure. The Griffons might very well be the star of the show this year, given its quality and price. Élevage is projected to be 15 months, with 50% new wood. Drink 2028-2040.

Checking in as a Merlot-dominant blend of 62% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Cabernet Franc, the 2025 Les Griffons De Pichon Baron offers up terrific though more Cabernet-driven aromatics of cassis, juicy black cherries, sappy flowers, and violets on the nose, with some serious Pauillac graphite and lead pencil nuances showing up with time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's balanced and concentrated, with integrated acidity and ripe tannins. It will spend 15 months in equal parts new and one-vintage-old barrels and checks in at 13.2% alcohol with a pH of 3.67.

Supple and so friendly and generous straight away, charming, fleshy and ripe, chewy even, but balanced by a really juicy, strawberry, red berry succulent and mouthwatering acidity. But ending on a flint, wet stone finish so you really get a three part wine here – chewy and upfront, bright and energetic and crisp and mineral. Cool, liquorice and cola too. Such great purity of fruit and detail on show. Texturally it’s great. Elegant. Drink 2030-2036.

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Smith Haut Lafitte was picked between September 3 and 30 at 28 hl/ha and raised in 50% new oak. It has a well-defined bouquet with mainly black fruit intertwined with Earl Grey, sous-bois and cigar box scents, a much more classical style of Smith Haut-Lafitte compared to recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a subtle tobacco note that percolates through the black fruit, more structure coming through towards the sapid finish with a dash of black pepper on the aftertaste. This will fill out in barrel and should become a refined and quite delicious Smith Haut-Lafitte that will repay time in bottle. Drink 2031-2055.

So aromatic and expressive, with pure currants and mint, plus some chocolate. Fennel too. Wow. Medium- to full-bodied with very deep fruit, fine, velvety tannins and a long, fine texture. The precision and depth are impressive. More fruit-driven than usual. It grows on the palate and is compact at the end. Very cabernet in the end. Almost like St.-Julien and Pauillac in nature. A blend of 68% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, 4% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot.

James Suckling
One of my favorite wines in the vintage, the 2025 Château Smith Haut Lafitte is based on 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, raised in 50% new oak, 45% old barrel, and 5% foudre. Beautiful darker fruits, scorched earth, smoky tobacco, chocolate, and graphite all define the aromatics, and on the palate, it's full-bodied, with a deep, concentrated mid-palate, beautiful tannins, and nicely integrated acidity. It brings beautiful ripeness as well as a balanced, textured, seamless style.

Beautifully crisp and clear aromas, dark fruit, precise and expressive. Smokey violets and ripe blackcurrants with white chocolate. Fresh and vivid, this is vibrant and so clear but still with a round and filling texture. Maybe a more delicate take from Smith with the minerality much more present than in some vintages but there’s excellent length, hints of spice and bitterness as well as a lifted finish. Very gravelly, salty, chalky and cool. Balanced, elegant and totally delicious. Not as Smith as some, less dense and fleshy, but there’s no denying this is approachable. A little less smooth and velvety, this is more crunchy, chalky and grippy than usual but no less compelling. 3.6pH. A yield of 28hl/ha. Began the red harvest from the 3 September to the end. Ageing 50% new oak. 1% of Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drink 2032-2048.

The 2025 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte is redolent of blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol, new leather, licorice and espresso. Medium in body, with fine energy, Le Petit Smith offers plenty of Cabernet Sauvignon savoriness to match its mid-weight personality. Drink 2028-2040.

James Suckling
Notes of smoky tobacco, blackcurrants, scorched earth, and gravelly earth all emerge from the 2025 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte, the second wine of Smith Haut Lafitte and a terrific effort in the vintage. Based on 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, it's rich and medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a pure, concentrated, layered style, ripe tannins, and a great finish.
93-95 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Supple and juicy with both ripe creamy fruit and lively acidity as well as firm structure. I like the Cabernet aspect – blackcurrant leaf, bramble berries, fresh mint, concentrated, dark and cool with a delicious wet stone, flinty, salty aspect. Not too dense but there’s length and good body with a real push of aromas and fragrance as well as intensity of flavour all the way through. Very good. 3.6pH. A yield of 28hl/ha. Began the red harvest from the 3 September to the end. Drink 2029-2037.

The 2025 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc was picked early between August 20 and September 2. It was raised in 50% new oak, and has quite a discrete bouquet with white peach, Mirabelle, jasmine and light pressed flower aromas. The palate is very well balanced with a rounded texture, a little more weight and density than other whites that I have tasted, quite peppery towards the finish and lingering in the mouth. This is a great success in the context of a warm vintage. Drink 2029-2048.
94-96 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2025 Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc is superb. Rich, creamy and expansive on the palate, with fabulous balance, the 2025 is seriously impressive and very delicious. Dried pear, acacia, chamomile and white pepper open beautifully. The Blanc is quite delicate at first, but it gains breadth through the mid-palate and into the finish. Impeccable. Drink 2035-2045.
94-96 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Bright aromas of sliced apples, pears and lemons, with some acacia and flint. Vibrant. The palate is dense and tight, with so much chalk and oyster shell character. Extremely long and pure, with vivid energy at the end. Sharp and driven by acidity. pH 3.2. A blend of 90% sauvignon blanc, 5% semillon and 5% sauvignon gris.
98-99 points
James Suckling
Honeyed citrus, orange blossom, mint, crushed stone, and brioche all emerge from the 2025 Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc, a blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc, 5% Sauvignon Gris, and the rest Sémillon that's being raised in 50% new barrels with the balance in once-used oak. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with deep, rich, layered fruit and a lengthy, seamless finish. It's one of the whites of the vintage.
96-98 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Vanilla, caramel, warm honey, wax, dried herbs, flint, cool white peach and apple aromas. Explosive and alive, gorgeously clear and clean – there’s nuance and complexity here – but it’s lightly presented and delicate for Smith. Quite a streamlined style but actually the acidity is really well balance and not at all pronounced or too sharp. Clarity and cool freshness. Beautifully delineated, sophisticated with more tension and drive and energy than 2023. I like this a lot, a tiny dollop of sweet, tropical fruit with bitter elements too. The harvest for whites began on 20th August until 2nd September. A yield of 18hl/ha. Drink 2028-2038.

The 2025 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc, blended with 20% Sémillon from the plot in the Grand Vin, has an attractive nose with scents of grapefruit, citrus peel and touches of flint. Fine delineation and good vigour. The palate is well balanced, with a lovely texture, impressive weight, white peach mixed with pear and lemongrass that segues into a vibrant and spicy finish. Excellent. One of the best vintages that I have tasted. Drink 2028-2042.

The 2025 Le Petit Haut Lafitte Blanc (80% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Sémillon) is impeccable. Pear, apricot, white peach, white flowers and a kiss of French oak build nicely in the glass. The 2025 offers a captivating mix of mid-palate richness and energy. It's another compelling wine from Smith Haut Lafitte. Drink 2027-2037.
92-94 points
Antonio Galloni - Vinous
A beautiful, richer white, the 2025 Le Petit Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc offers up more stone fruits, orange blossom, spice, and crushed stone minerality than the Les Hauts. It's medium-bodied on the palate, concentrated, with wonderful purity and terrific acidity. Based on 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon, this is a brilliant Pessac-Léognan blanc.

Slightly waxy, wool, lemon and pear, caramel, lemon, honey, straw, quince. Cool and slightly creamy with a slightly vanilla peach pear aspect. I love the clarity and purity to this, it’s both slightly round and slightly streamlined thanks to the ripe fruit and crisp acidity. Clearly less dense and concentrated than past vintages although there's a soft richness and long length. I like the flavour combination, with a touch of bitterness on the very finish. Picked whites 20 August – 2 September. A yield of 18hl/ha. Drink 2026-2036.

2025 Chateau Montrose Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Estephe, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$320. 00
Bottle
$3840.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
This historic large estate, situated atop the Gironde in Saint-Estèphe, is renowned for producing some of Bordeaux's most exceptional and enduring wines. Over the past 15 years it has enjoyed significant investment, resulting in the establishment of a state-of-the-art winery and cellars. Substantial efforts have also being made in the vineyards. When Olivier and Martin Bouygues acquired Château Montrose from the Charmolüe family in 2006, the property boasted 17 hectares of pre-clonal vines dating back to the early 20th century. Through a meticulous massale selection program 80 promising clones, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, have been identified for replanting purposes. Similar endeavors are now focused on Merlot, utilizing a plot behind the château acquired from Phélan-Ségur. Additionally, experimental cover crops are being introduced, and cultivation techniques are being adjusted to minimize disturbance to the soil microbiome. The winemaking approach remains traditional, with macerations lasting approximately three weeks and maturation taking place in around 60% new oak barrels.
Other Reviews...
A timeless classic in the making, the 2025 Montrose unfurls in the glass with notes of dark berries, black truffle, burning embers and violets, gaining in range and detail with aeration. Full-bodied, dense and elegantly muscular, it's layered and multidimensional, with a prodigiously concentrated core of fruit, exceptional quality of tannin and a long, resonant finish. The 2025 is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, derived exclusively from the estate's historic core on the fourth terrace situated just in front of the château itself. With a pH of 3.65 and 13.4% alcohol, it remains classically balanced despite its impressive power and intensity. Readers will have a fascinating time parsing the nuances of style and quality between the 2025, 2023 and 2022 over the decades to come!

William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Montrose only comes from the Terrace IV, as has been the way since the 2023 vintage. It was picked from August 29 and finished not until September 20, so quite a long harvest, 16 days of picking between those dates. This vintage is matured in 60% new oak. This has another very intense nose with a potent graphite element that infuses the black fruit, beautifully defined but unapologetically classical in style. Wow. The purity of fruit is exceptional. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, very chiselled tannins, exquisite black fruit loaded with minéralité. So much freshness and vibrancy, gentle but insistent grip, very precise and refined on the finish, this is a Montrose that will rank as one for the ages. Wow (again). Drink 2032-2060.

Integrated and creamy tannins that are long and polished deliver an impressive palate of medium body, juicy fruit and a refined finish. Character of black and red currants with hazelnuts. Refined. Extremely long and polished, with plenty of Montrose character. Balanced. All there for the vintage. A blend of 77% cabernet sauvignon, 19% merlot and 4% cabernet franc.

James Suckling
A magical, utterly profound wine in the making, the 2025 Château Montrose is a classic blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc that will spend 18 months in 60% new French oak, with 12% press wine included in the final blend. Pure cassis, graphite, liquid violets, and spicy wood define the aromatics, and it's sensationally pure on the palate, with full-bodied richness, beautiful concentration, ripe, polished tannins, incredible class, and a great finish. It reminds me of the 2016 with its finesse... and maybe there's a touch of 1996 here as well.
97-100 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Vibrant purple colour in the glass. Amazing fragrance, so pure and crystalline – blackcurrants and violet notes. Silky and glossy, packed full of cherry and strawberry fruit with quite massy tannins but keeping a really cool and compact form. Structured with layers of elements but also a little granular, tight and spiced. Liquorice, cool cola and wet stone edges. Maybe less overtly charming and filling than in previous years, but this has a distinctly cool mineral edge and slightly grippy tannins on the finish. I like the style, it’s quite serious and terroir transparent. Ageing should soften this and relax a little. 3.65pH. 80 IPT. 12% press wine. Ageing 18 months, 60% new oak. Drink 2034-2050.

Cherries, cedar, Cuban cigar wrappers, blackberries, flowers, smoke and black raspberries provide the aromatic nuances. The palate is even better. Concentrated, deep, dark, and energetic, there is a sophisticated, lushness that delivers its regal tendencies while coating your mouth and palate with multiple layers of supple, rich, waves of black fruits, spice, and chocolate. Montrose is on quite the run. Just when you think they cannot produce a better wine, they come out with the 2025! This is the third vintage produced entirely from vines planted in Terrasse 4. The wine blends 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc. 13.4% ABV, pH 3.65 pH. Harvesting took place August 29 - September 20. This is the earliest start to harvest in the history in the history of the estate. Yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2032-2070.

Unwinding in the glass with notes of dark berries, fruitcake and spices, the 2025 La Dame de Montrose is medium- to full-bodied, deep and dense, with a lively and layered core of fruit, supple tannins and a bright, sapid finish. It's a blend of 82% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc, incorporating maturation in different vessels (20% foudre and 5% amphora) and fewer rackings to maintain a more reductive profile that is better suited to the Merlot-dominant blend.

The 2025 La Dame de Montrose is an elegant, gracious wine. Crushed flowers, red-toned fruit, cinnamon and pomegranate lend tons of aromatic presence. The fruit is so bright, focused and forward. This is an especially elegant, refined Dame. The blend is Merlot-driven. Élevage is 75% in French oak barrels (15% new), 20% in foudre and 5% in amphora. Drink 2030-2040.

A Merlot-heavy blend of 82% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc, mostly from clay and limestone soils and resting in 30% new oak with 20% foudre, the 2025 La Dame De Montrose is medium-bodied, round, and supple, with a beautiful sense of elegance. Ripe framboise, juicy currants, violets, and sappy flower nuances all shine on the nose, and it's almost impossible to resist today, with remarkable purity and gorgeous tannins.

Incredible colour in the glass, bright pink-purple rim. Wild blue and black bramble berries with a salty tangy aspect on the nose – fresh and fragrant. Cool too. Smooth and shiny, this is sleek, really lively and upfront with such a juicy, fresh core. Quite lightly presented – definitely fine, delicate and refined with a soft edge of liquorice and clove. Really quite a hands-off style but there’s power surging through without the muscle. Quite impressive. 3.5pH. 76 IPT. 8% press. Ageing 12 months: 15% new oak, 20% foudre, 5% amphoras and the rest one-year-old barrels. 3% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. Drink 2030-2045.

A superb back vintage release made by winemaking maestro Ben Glaezter. Sourced from vines 70 plus years old with only the best parcels of fruit selected for the final blend, it was matured for 14 months in a combination of new and old French oak hogsheads.
A rich, seductive blend from one of South Australia’s most lauded winemakers at over 60% off!
Made from a mix of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon and 46% Shiraz it features an impenetrable inky black heart along with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Rising through the olfactory senses are pronounced aromatics of cassis, liquorice, choc mint and dark plum followed by some spicy vanillin cedar, earth, leather and pepper notes. Rich, expansive and concentrated, the palate has a dense layer of blackcurrant, liquorice and choc mint flavours flowing across it. Dark plum, spicy vanillin cedar and peppered earth elements ensue. Full in body and opulently textured it possesses velvety yet underlyingly sturdy tannins and a long seductive finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Winemaker Ben Glaetzer has created something special from Langhorne Creek. Captivating aromas of leafy mint, black fruits, jubey red fruits and dark chocolate. The palate is velvety smooth with silky texture, immense concentration and sustained power, yet highly drinkable. Already a pleasure, but with 20 years ahead. A wonderful regional expression. Drink 2025-2045.

Ray Jordan – WinePilot.com
Under cork, this Cabernet Shiraz blend, a 54/46 split, from Langhorne Creek fruit, is an inky maroon colour. Plush and generous, this is ripe and rich with gorgeous aromas of blueberries coming to the fore. These are supported by notes of mocha, cocoa powder, blackberries, soy, licorice and coffee beans. Seamless but concentrated, there are abundant but ever-so-fine, silky tannins. The wine has serious length. A fifteen year proposition. Love it. Drink 2026-2041.

This is superbly fruited, with gorgeous complexity, showing dark fruit richness, toasted spice, cured meat, and cedar characters, along with a hint of dark chocolate. The concentrated palate delivers a plush texture backed by layers of chalky tannins, making it sturdy and structured with a persistent, satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2034.

Willett Family Estate releases used to be commonplace at liquor stores across America. Nowadays, they're a rare sight. Most gets purchased directly at the distillery. Australia is lucky to receive anything at all. The remarkably high standard and limited nature of official Willetts means they will be on collector's radars more than ever before. Followers of this brand know that Willett are more than a little fanatical about wood selection, so you can be sure the barrels used here have been selected by a producer at the very top of their game. The only downside is that prices have gone up in the last few years and we expect they'll continue to increase.

Barrel #1575 had a total outturn of just 101 bottles. Willett comments, "...we do not provide tasting notes. We would like consumers to enjoy the liquid in the way they wish." 62.6% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

ABV: 47.6%

French Oak ex-Apera Single Cask TD0821 was distilled in November of 2015 and decanted in November of 2025, maturing at 10 years old and yielding 367 bottles at 47.6% ABV. The style embodies the coming together of Sullivans Cove and Australia’s powerhouse fortified wine industry, unfolding layers of bright, sticky fruits intertwined with herbal lifts and the rich, distinctive spice of French oak. Non chill filtered.
Notes from the producers... Palate: Full-bodied and enveloping, with a luscious, fruit-forward character. Ripe blackberry and cherry compote lead into poached pear, dried apricot and quince paste. Layers of dates and prunes bring depth, complemented by warming oak spices - nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice. Hints of gingerbread and dark malt add complexity, while a gentle dryness provides structure and balance to the whisky’s generous sweetness. Finish: Long, silky and indulgent. Lingering notes of cola, espresso and dark chocolate give way to liquorice and spiced wine. A rich, dessert-like character unfolds - tiramisu, condensed milk and dried fruits - wrapped in a velvety texture. The influence of fortified wine cask maturation remains evident throughout, delivering a deeply satisfying and moreish conclusion.

The high-altitude Alpine environment and the cask provenance create a whisky unlike any other Swiss or European product. 'Kamor' is reported to build on the legacy of the "Edition Trinity" but shines as a unique profile with its earthy, moderately peated, and malty sweet character. 48% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Aroma: Fine smoky notes, slightly earthy and slightly bacony. Hints of smokehouse, malt, vanilla, and toffee. Overall, a rather restrained, fine, and well-structured nose. Taste: Full-bodied and round, ashy smokiness, association of potting soil in the spring sun, toffee, vanilla and caramel with distant hints of Virginia tobacco. Finish: Long-lasting and highly aromatic. - whiskybase.com

Other Reviews….
A hat tip to the classic style from Alsace, harvested at optimal ripeness to deliver a range of natural flavours and white spice with fresh white nectarine and pear, a satin texture, refreshing acid line and distinctive mouthfeel. The fruit is gently pressed then fermented in stainless steel tanks at a cool temperature to retain varietal purity and freshness. The wine is then lees aged (sur lie), prior to bottling. A decent acid line and fine tannins mouthfeel add length and complexity. Best drinking from 2024 through 2027.

2025 Chateau Les Carmes Haut-Brion Pre-Arrival Offer

Pessac Leognan, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$225. 00
Bottle
$2700.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Les Carmes Haut-Brion is a blend of 54% Cabernet Franc, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot, one of the highest proportions of Cabernet Franc at the estate and comparable to 2016. It was vinified with 65% whole clusters and matured in 70% new oak. It reveals a complex, harmonious bouquet of pomegranate, iris and peony, intertwined with cassis, mulberries and dark berries. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and structured, it’s deep and layered, its concentrated core of fruit framed by velvety structuring tannins, concluding with a long, mineral-inflected finish. Combining tension with an ethereal profile, it delivers remarkable clarity, freshness and elegance. While slightly more overtly structured at this stage than the prodigious 2022, it remains impeccably balanced.
95-98 points
Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Les Carmes Haut-Brion is a huge, powerful wine that is going to need many years to come into its own. Dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, incense, melted road tar and licorice make a bold entrance. Fertility in the Merlots was low. As a result, the 2025 has the highest amount of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon ever, 83% in total as opposed to the more typical 70% or so. Whole clusters, always a part of the approach here, are 65%. Time on skins was 45 days at 27°C (80.6°F) compared to the 35 days at 30°C (86°F) that is more typical. Readers will find an especially deep, potent Carmes, a wine that will need the better part of a decade to shed some of its considerable baby fat. It's a telling example of the vintage, with 1% less alcohol than in most recent years. Today the 2025 is a mere infant. It's another exceptional wine from Technical Director Guillaume Pouthier and his team. Drink 2033-2075.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous
The precision is so seductive and intellectual, with aromas of fresh flowers, iron, graphite, cedar, blood oranges and black fruit. It's medium-bodied with a compact palate of intense tannins that melt into the wine. Rather weightless in nature. It kicks in at the end with incredible intensity and focus. 13% alcohol. 65% whole cluster. 54% cabernet franc, 29% cabernet sauvignon and 17% merlot, mostly co-fermented.
99-100 points
James Suckling
Deeper-hued than the C des Carmes cuvée, with a gorgeous perfume of red, blue, and black fruits intermixed with graphite, leafy herbs, iris, and subtle floral, minty, and almost peppery nuances, the 2025 Château Carmes Haut-Brion is based on 54% Cabernet Franc, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Merlot, vinified with 65% whole clusters. On the palate, it's wonderfully textured and medium to full-bodied, with a round, layered, expansive mouthfeel and ultra-fine tannins. I love its overall balance, it has no hard edges, and while there's plenty of tannins here (IPT 82), they're perfectly integrated and polished. It checks in at 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.59, and this is just loaded with charm and character.
96-98 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Gorgeously fragrant on the nose with so many perfumed scents – violets, iris, peonies, cinnamon, exotic spices, black chocolate, something slightly sweet and aromatic with blackcurrant and dark bramble berries. Succulent and juicy with a powdery element to the tannins that fills the mouth straight away. I love the integration of the acidity – this has brightness but is also quite calm and charming, softer than expected. Sleek, sophisticated, full of complexity and nuance yet with real depth, intensity, concentration and integrity. Very true to place and to Guillaume Pouthier’s style. Succulent and floral Cabernets, aromatic all the way through, super long, graceful and full of width and flavour while staying clean. Ripe with tannins that fill the mouth – fleshy, grippy but wide and lifted – giving a gorgeous texture. A little citrus tang to the acidity but overall full of life and focus. Brilliant. 3.59pH. A yield of 38hl/ha overall (29hl/ha Merlot, 45hl/ha Cabernet Sauvignon). 65% whole bunch fermentation. Drink 2033-2048.

Almost opaque in color, it takes no effort to dig into the floral display. From there you encounter black cherries, licorice, spice box, menthol, cigar wrappers, blackberries and crushed rocks in the aromas. The palate is what steals the show with its vivid display of black, with red fruits, elegant, silky textures, and most importantly, purity of fruit. The velvety finish spreads all over your palate with touches of sea-salt, cocoa, Indian spices and lingering, dark fruits. Clearly, this is in competition with the best vintages the estate has ever produced. The ability to manage the potential of hydric stress, due to their terroir is a large part of what helped make 2025 such a success. The wine was made using 65% whole bunch clusters, blending 54% Cabernet Franc, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 17% Merlot. It is interesting to note this is the highest percentage of Cabernet ever included in the blend. I think it really works here. 13% ABV, pH 3.59. The wine is aging in a combination of 70% new, French oak, 19% foudres, and 11% amphora. Picking took place September 7- September 19. Drink from 2029-2065.

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2025 Cantenac Brown unwinds in the glass with notes of crème de criss, pencil shavings and a deft touch of new oak. Medium- to full-bodied, supple and suave, with sweet, powdery tannins and a fleshy, enveloping profile, it's broad-shouldered but judiciously extracted.
93-95 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Cantenac Brown is quite the powerhouse. Dark and ample in feel, the 2025 offers gorgeous presence and class to burn. Crème de cassis, new leather, lavender, menthol, licorice and mocha are some of the many notes that open with a bit of coaxing. There's tremendous substance and stuffing here. The tannins are quite fine, which is especially remarkable considering the wine's intense fruit. Drink 2035-2065.
94-96 points

Extremely well made, with a solid core of fruit, fine tannins, precision and tension. The new winery is really showing its substance now. Long and persistent. One of the best wines I have had from here.

James Suckling
Lovely fragranced perfume aromatics with such purity and focus, elements of sticky liquorice and graphite. Smooth and so well balanced, velvety and soft tannins with a touch of cool blueberry and wet stones that linger on the mouth. Ends really cool, stony and fresh. I love the construction and the overall texture. Everything in balance. I love the intensity here, you get layers and texture and fruit with such delicacy and detail. Really a great wine in the making and I love the slightly darker edge to the fruit with some herbal, minty and liquorice spice. It’s got a really long finish too, the flavours last and last. 65% grand vin, no malolactic in barrel, no vinification intégrale. 1% Petit Verdot completes the blend. A yield of 28hl/ha. Drink 2032-2046.

The 2025 d'Issan is fabulous. Inky and racy to the core, the 2025 Issan has so much to offer. Crème de cassis, menthol, licorice, cloves, gravel and mocha all meld together in the glass. Sumptuous and seamless with exceptional balance, the 2025 is a real stunner. This is an especially dense d'Issan that reflects the intensity of the year. Tasted two times. Drink 2040-2075.

Cassis, black cherries, smoky tobacco, graphite, and a chalky minerality all shine from the 2025 Château D'Issan, a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Malbec, and 2% Petit Verdot that's being raised in 50% new barriques with the balance in once-used barrels. Reminding me slightly of the 2016 with its balance and elegance, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a pure, graceful mouthfeel, fine tannins, and outstanding length. It builds beautifully with time in the glass, and checking in at 13.73% alcohol with a pH of 3.63, this is going to be an incredibly satisfying, classic, complex Margaux that exudes class and elegance.
94-96 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Violets and iris notes on the nose. Supple and succulent with a drop of sweet strawberries balanced against quite fresh blackcurrants, liquorice and cola. I love the texture – streamlined, focused, detailed, so smooth and sophisticated. Maybe a more dark profile than recent vintages but feels so well constructed with a firm frame and cool drive from start to finish. It has layers, this isn’t lacking in any power or muscle but it doesn’t have any heaviness or chew and in that respect it gives a lot of wine without much weight at all. Grippy, fun, interesting, captivating and so easy to drink. Potential upscore in bottle. 2% Malbec and 2% Cabernet Franc complete the blend. 3.63pH. A yield of 29hl/ha. Drink 2032-2047.

2025 Chateau Beychevelle Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Julien, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$199. 00
Bottle
$2388.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Beychevelle reveals a toasty, oak-marked bouquet of dark wild berries, licorice and spice. Medium- to full-bodied, structured and concentrated, it’s built around an assertive tannic frame, concluding with a long, spicy, licorice-inflected finish. While the wine is marked by both concentration and oak at this stage, élevage may bring greater finesse and a more integrated, enveloping tannic profile.
92-93 points
Yohan Castaing - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Beychevelle was picked from September 5 to 21 at 31 hl/ha, fairly reasonable for Saint-Julien this year, albeit the second lowest after 2013. Matured in 70% new oak, this has a concentrated nose with blackcurrants, blueberry, inkwell and light violet scents. Very fine definition, a Beychevelle that leans on the more opulent side aromatically, though always controlled. The palate is medium-bodied with a velvety smooth entry that lends it sensuality. Extremely precise, exquisite pure fruit, quite mineral-driven with a very long, quite sensual finish. I don't think Philippe Blanc has overseen a Beychevelle as good as this. 13.4% alcohol. Drink 2032-2060.
95-97 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
The 2025 Beychevelle is a very sexy wine. Plush and exuberant, the 2025 is seriously impressive right out of the gate. Blackberry, lavender, mocha, crème de cassis and a kick of French oak are all beautifully amplified in the glass. The blend is 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, with the plush richness of the Merlot very much in evidence. There's a lot of wine here. The 2025 spent three weeks on the skins, more or less the norm here, but it also includes 13% press wine, a bit higher than most years. More than anything else, the 2025 is a wine of extreme pleasure. It is an exceptional Beychevelle, one of the finest in recent memory. Drink 2035-2075.

Spicy, with dark fruit aromas. Angular in style, with a linear profile and precise, focused tannins. It shows clarity, fresh dark fruit and balance that stands out.

Jacobo García Andrade - JamesSuckling.com
A brilliant, deeply hued wine, the 2025 Château Beychevelle is based on 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, and is still resting in 70% new oak. One of the earliest harvests ever recorded at this château, with very tiny yields, it has a ripe, sexy, gorgeously textured style with ripe black cherries, graphite, spicy wood, and dried flowers on the nose. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a round, layered mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and a blockbuster finish. Hitting 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.6, this is a ripe, expressive Beychevelle that will evolve gracefully for 30 years or more. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
96-98 points
Jeb Dunnuck
Such a gorgeous fragrance on the nose, so alive, so floral and expressive with milk chocolate, cherries and violets. Grippy and alive in the mouth, fun, bright, certainly full of tannins and grip with a lovely core of black bramble fruit with straight acidity. I like the very hands-off nature, it’s refined and finessed, still young and a little shy but lots of tannins are so well handled by the fruit purity and acidity. It’s a big, powerful, muscular wine but so poised, mouthwatering and charming. It has a spiced kick on the finish which adds to the complexity. 3.6pH. 80 IPT. 13% press wine. 60% of production. Reduced maceration by 5-7 days. Ageing 70% new oak. Drink 2030-2044.

The 2025 Trotte Vieille shows exceptional potential, unfurling in the glass with aromas of ripe blueberries, violets, subtle spices and pencil shavings. Full-bodied, layered and velvety, it's deep, concentrated and refined, with lively acids, lovely purity and a long, penetrating finish. This limestone terroir on Saint-Emilion's plateau is really showing its pedigree, and it has produced one of the highlights of the vintage.
95-97 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Trotte Vieille soars out of the glass. Freshly cut flowers, mocha, dried herbs, menthol and espresso meld into a core of rich, deeply layered dark fruit. Trotte Vieille is a rare Saint-Émilion that features Cabernet Franc. All of that intensely floral/savory character (and the matching structure) is in evidence today. The 2025 builds beautifully in the glass, revealing myriad dimensions of intensity. Blue-toned fruit, gravel, cloves, lavender, licorice and espresso linger. The only question is how long the 2025 is going to need. Drink 2035-2065.

Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Château Trottevieille is based on 51% Cabernet Franc, 46% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon that's resting all in new barrels. It has an absolutely brilliant nose of cassis, graphite, wood smoke, and crushed stone, and it's full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, with beautiful mid-palate depth, ripe, polished tannins, flawless overall balance, and a great finish.
96-98+ points
Jeb Dunnuck
Softly fragrant, dark fruit and heady, exotic sweet spices – cinnamon, cedar, clove. Bright acidity makes the first mark, mouthwatering with such smooth, silky tannins with a slight crisp, crunchy aspect to the red fruit. Still a little marked by the wood at this point – more streamlined than TrotteVieille can be – more delicate in terms of texture and impact but still with concentration and fruit. I like the friendliness, great balance and still lots going on. Grippy, dark, spiced tannin impression on the finish. Refined and ageing should add more flesh and density on the mid palate. Ageing 100% new oak. Drink 2032-2048.

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Phélan Ségur was picked between September 10 and 26 at 29 hl/ha, matured in 55% new oak barrels. Again, this is a Saint-Estèphe that is cut in a more mellow and classical style compared to the 2020 or 2022, for example. Mainly black fruit, the Cabernet-dominated scents of cedar and tobacco emerge within a couple of swirls, with just a light touch of tea leaves in the background. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine-boned tannins matched by a silver thread of acidity. Very well balanced and unequivocally in the more elegant style, without the concentration or voluptuousness of the 2022. This is more sleek and refined, ergo, an earlier-drinking Phélan Ségur that delivers elegance and refinement. Just a lovely Saint-Estèphe that was presumed vanquished by global warming. Drink 2030-2055.

Cassis, spring flowers, graphite, and spicy nuances all shine on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with gorgeous tannins and a velvety, perfectly balanced mouthfeel. I love the overall balance here, and it checks in at 13.6% alcohol with a pH of 3.73. This is up there with the finest vintages from this château to date. Bravo.

Incredible colour in the glass – vivid purple core with a bright pink rim. Smells inviting – creamy strawberry, freshly cut herbs and pink roses. Smooth and supple, excellent construction in the round and filling tannins with a gorgeous chewy aspect to them. Mouthwatering but also slightly sweet strawberry flavours make this so fruity and charming. Soft, sophisticated, refined but really welcoming. Powdery tannins with ripe fruit. This is such assured winemaking with precision and focus. Refined. Succulent, totally moreish. Not massively shouting, despite the texture it retains a cool aspect with a stony grip on the bottom. Lovely. A complete package. One of the best I’ve tasted from this estate. Yield of 29hl/ha. 3.73pH. 80IPT. 65% grand vin production. The first time the estate harvested more than 10ha in one day with the harvest last for eight days between 10-26 September. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Drink 2030-2045.

Pomerol, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$125. 00
Bottle
$1500.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Feytit-Clinet has quite a bit of reduction on the nose, but it blows away to reveal enticing blackberry and bilberry fruit, hints of truffle oil and black pepper. The oak is well integrated. The palate is very well balanced, with a sense of vibrancy, almost urgency, on the entry. Silky smooth tannins, perfectly judged acidity, tender and long on the finish, this might be the best Feytit that I have tasted from barrel, perhaps the "insiders' Pomerol" of the vintage? Drink 2032-2055.

The 2025 Feytit-Clinet is a wild, exotic beauty. Succulent red/purplish fruit, exotic spice, blood orange, mint and rose petal caress the palate. A kiss of new French oak is nicely judged. Floral top notes pull it all together on the close. Stylistically, proprietor Jeremy Chasseuil has moved away from the darker, more extracted wines of the past. Tasted two times. Drink 2033-2055.

Cohesive, with precise tannins and a pretty expression of dark fruit. Velvety and elegant with a bright finish.

Jacobo García Andrade - JamesSuckling.com
A Merlot-heavy blend of 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc that will spend 15 months in 65% new French oak, the 2025 Château Feytit Clinet is just brilliant, with a full-bodied, deep, and layered profile packed with blue and black fruits, chocolate, and tobacco. On the palate, it's concentrated and powerful yet stays weightless and flawlessly balanced, with velvety tannins and a great finish. Hitting 14% alcohol, this is up with the crème de la crème of the Right Bank, as well as Bordeaux in general.

Some tobacco, cedar and dark chocolate elements on the nose. There’s a sweetness from the oak with clean, ripe fruit behind so it’s a little cloying and highly charged right now with plenty of toasted elements – vanilla, chocolate – that just detract from the overall enjoyment at this point. Still, there’s good direction and persistence from start to finish. This will resolve beautifully after ageing with a silkiness to the fruit. Drink 2030-2044.

2025 Chateau Canon Pre-Arrival Offer

Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$230. 00
Bottle
$2760.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
A blend of 76% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Franc, the 2025 Canon continues this property's brilliant decade-long run of exceptional wines. Unwinding in the glass with a complex bouquet of cherries and raspberries mingled with hints of exotic spices, licorice and petals, it's medium- to full-bodied, suave and concentrated, with a bright spine of acidity and a long, penetrating finish. Harvest stretched from August 28 to September 18.

William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Canon is a total stunner. Deep and sumptuous in the glass, it offers tons of the vintage's textural intensity along with all the vibrant, saline energy that is such a signature here. Dark-fleshed fruit, mocha, new leather, herbs and dried flowers build gradually in the glass, leading to a huge, dramatic finish laced with hints of blood orange, pomegranate and chalk. The interplay of finesse and power is dazzling. Tasted two times. Drink 2035-2065.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous
The finesse and sophistication are very impressive, with a medium body, ultra-fine tannins and a rather endless finish. It’s medium-bodied and poised. Great length. A great wine.

Ripe cherries, graphite, crushed flowers, and assorted blue fruits all define the 2025 Château Canon, another great wine from this team, which checks in at 76% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Franc and will spend 16 to 18 months in 49% new French oak, with the balance in foudre. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a remarkably polished, flawlessly balanced mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It hits 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.5 and is very much in the ultra-pure, graceful, classic style this terrific château is known for today. Tasted multiple times with consistent notes. Yields here were 40 hectoliters per hectare with harvest running from the 28th of August (one day earlier than 2022) to the 18th of September.

An outstanding Canon. Cherry, cola, liquorice, slate, blackcurrant with a milk chocolate dusting. Smooth and impactful from the start – chewy but juicy, round, alive and filling – mature but there’s no overt sun in the glass. You can feel the Cabernet Franc and the coolness all round. Good structure, maybe more serious than some Canons in the past, but there’s such purity and focus with excellent tannins as well as plenty of blackcurrants, red cherries and hints of raspberry too Complexity and nuance in abundance. A fabulous wine in the making. Authentic. Drink 2032-2050.

The bouquet of red, white, and purple flowers is what initially grabs your attention. From there, it is the wealth of fruit, with its intensity, and the oceanic influences that keep you focused. The palate balances lift, energy, concentration, and juiciness perfectly. The finish delivers sweet, ripe black and red fruits, which linger and expand, leaving you with layers of salt-tinged, sweet, ripe fruits and a touch of herbs and mint in the endnotes. Key points of the vintage came not only from the ripeness of the fruit, but, interestingly, from their normal yields, which aided in lowering ABV levels and giving better balance. The wine blends 76% Merlot, and 24% Cabernet Franc. 14% ABV. 3.5% pH. The harvest took place from August 28 - September 18. Yields were 40 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2030-2060.

2025 Chateau Rauzan-Segla Pre-Arrival Offer

Margaux, Bordeaux, FRANCE
$150. 00
Bottle
$1800.00 Dozen

Closure: Cork
Other Reviews...
The 2025 Rauzan-Ségla is promising, opening in the glass with notes of cassis, pencil shavings, sweet soil tones and a deft framing of new oak. Medium- to full-bodied, bright and layered, it's vibrant and concentrated, with a chassis of fine tannins and a penetrating, youthfully structured finish.
94-96 points
William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2025 Rauzan-Ségla is totally seamless in the glass. Dark-toned fruit, mocha, new leather, licorice, menthol and dried herbs infuse the palate with tremendous textural depth. The 2025 is of course very young. The year's natural concentration is its most evident signature at this time, but the rest will surely follow. Polished, supremely elegant tannins support the finish. What a stunner. Tasted two times. Drink 2035-2065.

Antonio Galloni - Vinous
Blackberry, dark cherry and crushed stone notes with a medium to full body, extremely fine and polished with a long and pretty finish. Racy and precise. Fresh and fine. Lovel the floral notes in the nose. A blend of 65% cabernet sauvignon, 33% merlot, 1.5% petit verdot, and .5% cabernet franc.

James Suckling
Cassis, assorted red and black fruits, spicy wood, tobacco, and graphite all emerge from the 2025 Château Rauzan-Ségla, a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 1.5% Petit Verdot, and 0.5% Cabernet Franc that's being raised 18 months in 60% new French oak. It's concentrated on the palate, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, flawless balance, and a great finish. Checking in at 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.7, it's rockingly good and clearly up with the finest wines in the appellation, as well as the vintage.

Jeb Dunnuck
Gorgeous vibrant pink rim to the wine with violet aromas on the nose, very dark but very perfumed and not at all hot or sunny. So juicy and alive with structure – the soft tannins give the outline while the real fruit purity sits in the middle. I love this a lot, very approachable, streamlined and focused with layers of fine tannins and brightness. You can feel the concentration in the construction but this carries a really fun, friendly, welcoming aspect because of the juiciness on the mid-palate. 50% grand vin production. 3.67pH. Ageing 18 months, 60% new oak. 0.5% Cabernet Franc completes the blend. Drink 2034-2048.
