Chateau Cos d’Estournel 2018 Saint-Estephe 1.5 lt

An incredible wine from this estate that's as good as anything in the vintage, the 2018 Château Cos D'Estournel checks in as 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot that was brought up in 50% new French oak. While some 2018s are going to offer pleasure right out of the gate, this isn't one of them, but rather it's a backward, tannic powerhouse of a wine that has flawless balance as well as a level of purity that's off the charts. Thrilling crème de cassis fruit, notes of lead pencil, damp earth, cedarwood, violets, and acacia flowers, full-bodied richness, masses of ultra-fine tannins, and a great, great finish all make for a legendary Saint-Estèphe that will need a good decade of bottle age yet evolve for 50 years or more. If you are tempted to try a bottle in its youth, it needs lots of air.

France
On the nose, distinguished and offers a little power as well as a fine texture. It reveals notes of fresh blackberry, ripe/fresh berries and more lightly of refined minerality and a subtle hint of pepper. On the palate, fruity, balanced and offers a juicy/mineral frame, good definition, juiciness and a certain gourmandize. The wine expresses juicy/fresh blackberry, juicy/fresh blackcurrant and slightly fresh violet notes combined with a touch of plump plum, red berries, fine mineral points and a discreet hint of fresh flowers.

Complex aromas of blackcurrant, black olive, clove, oyster shell, pencil lead and tobacco. It’s full-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins. Concentrated and focused with a very long, spice and mineral finish. Fantastic bottle. Try from 2026. SP53-4

Château d’Arsac 2022 Margaux

Bordeaux France
Wine Enthusiast 94 Rating
One of the vineyards away from the Gironde estuary has produced a richly structured wine. It has dense tannins and layers of black fruits and structure. Blackberry and black coffee aromas and juicy black fruits give a wine that has space to develop.

Vinous 90 Rating
The 2024 Rosé Roseblood impresses with its depth and focus, delivering an enticing blend of spiced cherry, mint and apricot. The finish kicks in with noticeable white pepper grip, lending some seriousness to this otherwise lighthearted wine. It’s a style that works, that’s for sure.

Chateau D’Issan 2020 Margaux
$89.99

Bordeaux France
Jeb Dunnuck 96 Rating
The 2020 Chateau D’Issan is a stunningly good Margaux, and this is another estate that seems to producer brilliant wines every vintage. Pulling from 51.04 hectares of vines and a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, the rest Petit Verdot and Malbec, it’s a selection of just 45% of the total production and spent 18 months in 50% new and 50% once-used French oak. Beautiful, spiced-laced red and black fruits, chocolate, smoked tobacco, and incense notes define the aromatics. These carry to a medium to full-bodied restrained, elegant 2020 with terrific mid-palate density, ripe, velvety tannins, and terrific overall balance. This is one of those beautiful, classic wines that grows on you with time in the glass, and hats off to Emmanuel Cruse for yet another incredible wine. It’s going to evolve for another 25-30 years if well-stored. Best After 2026 SPBX-6
Chateau d’Yquem 2010 Sauternes

Pale to medium lemon-gold colored, the 2010 d'Yquem is just now starting to strut its stuff with gregarious scents emerging of underripe mangos, fresh pineapples, poached pears and candied peel plus nuances of waxed lemons, fungi, musk perfume and wet clay. Wonderfully poised, the seductively intense fruit is offset by beautiful freshness, supporting layer upon layer of savory nut and baked-bread notions with the tantalizing exotic fruits coming through on the long, long finish. For number crunchers: 13.5% alcohol, 138 grams per liter residual sugar, and total acidity is 3.6 grams per liter H2SO4. Tempting to drink now, I’m sensing there are still a lot of latent nuances to be revealed here. So—to get that full Yquem experience—I’d give it another five years in bottle, at least, and drink it over the next 40+ years. SP60-3
