9.7

Huge fruit, complex and lifted, with fruit perfume, hazelnuts, saline, hickory, and flowers. 9.7 nose. Elegant, concentrated, deep, fresh and tense. Super wine. Just insane. Dissipates like the 2014. What a finish: so long, so fine. — 16 days ago

Not sure why it’s listing incorrect. This is the 60% chenin blanc and 40% Chardonnay 2021 blend. Sooo good!! — 3 years ago

9.1

Deep ruby, the nose reveals fresh aromas of ripe red and black cherry, black plum, dried provence herbs, smoky beacon, raisin and a dash of cinnamon. Full bodied with grippy tannins and balancing levels of acidity, the 2019 Cuvée Prestige finishes a notch below long. Drink from 2025 until 2035. — 4 years ago

2019 Le Hameau. 53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 47% Merlot. First vintage of this parcel selection in the commune of Cantenac, aged for 16 months in amphorae (2/3) and barriques. Le Hameau stands for finesse, whereas Le Plateau (in Soussans) delivers more power. — a year ago

Fatter, rounder and less mineral than Hameau de Blagny across the road. Vines are less stressed as they can get water deep down — 7 years ago

9.3

The 1985 Lafite-Rothschild is only a modest success in the context of the vintage. Here, it is totally outclassed by the 1985 Las Cases. Light, slightly loose-knit red berry fruit on the nose is complemented by warm gravel and smoky aromas, though it lacks a bit of energy. The palate is nicely balanced, not powerful but focused, with adequate freshness. As mentioned in my previous tasting note, this has dispensed with some density in recent years, and if your expectations are modest, it remains enjoyable. Tasted at Hameau de Barbaron in Burgundy.
