• 246529 PESSAC LEOGNAN - CHATEAU FERRAN BLANC 2023

“Minerals, sliced apples and citrus on the nose, with a hint of whipped cream. Solid on the palate, with a medium body and a lightly structured, medium-long finish. Drinkable now, but can hold for a few years.”

Available on September 27th.

• 440382 HAUT MEDOC - CHATEAU SOCIANDO MALLET 2021

"The 2021 Sociando-Mallet has turned out nicely in bottle, offering up aromas of dark berries and cassis mingled with hints of cigar wrapper and pencil lead. It is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, with impressive concentration for the vintage, sweet tannins, integrated acids and a penetrating finish." Drink 2025 - 2041

• 315773 MARGAUX - CHATEAU SIRAN 2023

“A deliciously inviting style, with a soft-edged core of plum and black cherry compote that rolls along steadily over the underlying juiciness, while flashes of ink, chestnut leaf and violet fill in. Silky in structure and fresh through the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2037.”

• 619318 ST ESTEPHE - LES PAGODES DE COS 2015

“Really juicy and delicious on the nose. Enticing. Plum, berry and spice undertones. Some chocolate. Full and very long. Gorgeous focus and finesse…”

• 434145 ST EMILION - CHATEAU BERLIQUET 2021

“The 2021 Berliquet is showing very well in bottle, wafting from the glass with notes of sweet wild berries, plums and rose petals, framed by subtle hints of licorice and vanilla pod. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, it's suave and sensual, with a fleshy core of fruit, ultra-refined tannins and a pure, perfumed, mineral finish. This seamless, charming Saint-Émilion will offer a broad drinking window." Drink 2025 - 2041

• 465883 POMEROL - CHATEAU ROUGET 2020

"Lots of black olive with dark fruit and sandalwood on the nose. Full-bodied with layers of velvety and soft tannins, yet they stay vibrant and focused. Very integrated palate. Flavorful at the end."

• 434206 SAUTERNES - CHATEAU RAYNE VIGNEAU 2021

"Thick and ample in the mouth, weighty and full of sweet orange peel, slightly wild honey, spiced lemon and pineapple, a real mixture of flavours and textures in the mouth. Doesn't have the sugary density of some, this is more focussed and straight with a lightness of touch come the finish, but I like it's style and character." Drink 2025 - 2049
