CLOS LES LUNELLES

2005

$69.99

Chateau Gloria

Saint Julien

Good deep ruby-red. Savory aromas of currant, spices and earth. Lush and ripe, with sweet currant, plum and floral flavors. Finishes with substantial but ripe tannins. This has good, clean fruit. Much better than the rather rustic 2004.

2006

$79.99

Chateau Giscours

Margaux

Bright ruby-red. Cool, inky aromas of kirsch and berries; pure but restrained today. Ripe and rich, with a broad, airy texture; conveys an impression of fullness without weight or excess sweetness. Quite gentle for the vintage. Expands nicely on the broad finish, which features sweet, fine tannins. The wine's volume is impressive but will it be bottled with the energy to merit a 90+ rating?

2006

$101.99

Chateau d''''Armailhac

Pauillac

Cabernet, Merlot

A dense ruby/purple color is followed by a bouquet of grilled meats, subtle herbs, coffee, black currants, and a hint of camphor. The sweetness of the tannins, full-bodied mouthfeel, and stunning length, all in gorgeous symmetry, suggest this is one of the finest d’Armailhacs yet made.Anticipated maturity: now-2025.

2006

$109.99

Chateau Kirwan

Margaux

Good medium ruby. Boysenberry, dark chocolate, smoked meat and sexy oak on the ripe, inviting nose. Lush and full for the vintage, with dark berry flavors saturating the palate. Finishes with sweet, fine, broad tannins that spread out to coat the entire mouth. An impressive showing.

2006

$129.99

Louis Roederer

Brut

Chardonnay

What a creamy Champagne, its mousse bursting around the mouth. Impressively, all this creaminess is well balanced by full, dry fruits, flavors of pear and fresh bread and finished with crisp apples. Compelling wine to enjoy in the sunniness of its youth.

2003

$159.99

Chateau Malescot St. Exupery

Margaux

Red-ruby. High-pitched aromas of blackberry, violet and dark chocolate. Juicy, bright and quite tight, with an inky quality and good clarity to the intense dark berry flavors. Lively and persistent, finishing with smooth, harmonious tannins and excellent lift and length. This was a standout in the Union des Grands Crus Margaux tasting. My subsequent sample at the estate began a bit more chunky, with a ripe, chocolatey character and slightly rough tannins, but showed a candied blackberry element and more intense fruit with aeration, turning much more expressive and gaining in freshness.

2006

$169.99

Chateau Calon Segur

Saint Estephe

Red-ruby. Perfumed, highly complex nose offers black cherry, currant, iron, mocha, smoked meat, flowers and a whiff of bonfire. Rich, sweet and densely packed, with lovely delineation and inner-mouth aromatic character. The cool August shows in the wine's slight medicinal austerity, but this is juicy, pure and vibrant, and the tannins are quite fine. May not show the grip or length of a great year but this is an outperformer for this appellation in 2006. The estate did a gentle extraction, with a maceration limited to 18 days, in search of silky tannins, according to Madame Gasqueton.

2006

$189.99

VIEUX Chateau CERTAN

2004

$189.99

Chateau Lynch Bages

Pauillac

Cabernet, Merlot

1988 or 1995-ish in style, rather than 1996, which seems to be the vintage several 2006s recall, this dense purple-colored wine displays sweet notes of creme de cassis, tobacco leaf, licorice, and some cedar and graphite. The wine has plenty of structure a la 1995 and a backward, muscular personality, but beautiful fruit on the attack and alluring purity and a nicely textured mouthfeel. The finish suggests cellaring for 3-5 years and drinking over the following two decades.

2006

$259.99
