BALESTARD
St Emilion
RP - This wine can compete with some of the "big boys," but is best drunk during its first 5-6 years of life to take advantage of its exuberant, richly fruity style. Revealing complex aromas of coffee-infused black cherry and berry fruit, it is a serious effort from one of the finest generic Bordeaux that money can buy. |

LA LAGUNE
Haut Medoc
RP - A
sleeper of the vintage, this sexy, charming, Burgundian-styled wine
offers fleshy black cherry notes intermixed with camphor, flowers, and
pain grille. Supple tannin, velvety texture, and luscious aromatics as
well as flavours result in an alluring claret. |

LA LAGUNE
Haut Medoc
RP - This is
the finest wine made at this estate since 1982, and possibly the
greatest La Lagune of all time. Its dense ruby/purple colour is followed
by an exquisite bouquet of spice box, incense, sweet unsmoked cigar
tobacco, black cherry liqueur, forest floor, and subtle toasty oak.
Reminiscent of a Cote de Nuits grand cru blended with a top-notch
Bordeaux, this beauty possesses silky tannins, a broad, savoury,
expansive mouthfeel, and intrinsic precision as well as elegance.
Moreover, this fabulous wine is a relative bargain for the vintage.
Seamless and prodigious! |
