WA 95 
This tiny, 5-acre vineyard with nearly 50-year old vines produces only 4,000 bottles from a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The broodingly tannic, backward 2006 is remarkably concentrated, pure, and deep. It is an... Read More

Varietal: Grenache | Location: France | Size: 750ml
WA 96

2010 Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape
Varietal: Grenache | Location: France | Size: 750ml
WA 95  WC 93 
Interestingly enough, even though many of the 2010 Perrin et Fils selections from the southern Rhone were scheduled to be bottled right after my visit, the 2010 Beaucastel had already been put in bottle. This is a gorgeous wine,... Read More

Varietal: Other Whites | Location: France | Size: 750ml

2009 Chateau Ducru-Beaucaillou - Saint-Julien
Varietal: Cabernet | Location: France | Size: 750ml
WA 100 
The 2009 Ducru Beaucaillou will eclipse the brilliant wines produced in 2005, 2003 and 2000. It will be interesting to see how the 2009 fares against the 2010 after twenty years of aging, but my money is on the 2009. A blend of... Read More

Varietal: Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Muscadelle | Location: France | Size: 375ml
WS 92  WE 96  WA 94 - 96 
The 2009 La Tour Blanche is very primal on the nose with grapefruit, nectarine and apricot aromas. The palate is very well balanced, just a little oaky at the moment but with a very fine thread of acidity. Touches of fresh apricot,... Read More

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France | Size: 750ml
WS 98  WE 99  WA 96  WC 97 
While the 2005 is another brilliantly classic Lafite Rothschild, for my taste, it comes in slightly behind their extraordinarily opulent 2003 as well as the dramatically powerful 2000. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11%... Read More

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France | Size: 750ml
WS 91  WE 97  WA 98 
A candidate for the -wine of the vintage,- the 2008 should have been purchased before it began to soar in value because of the significance of the number 8 in the Chinese culture (denoting good luck). Representing 40% of the production,... Read More

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France | Size: 750ml
WS 99  WE 97  WA 99  WC 99 
The main reason the 2009 Lafite Rothschild did not receive a perfect score is because the wine has closed down slightly, but it is unquestionably another profound Lafite, their greatest wine since the amazing 2003. Among the most... Read More
