CALON SEGUR
St. Estephe
RP -
A blend of 60%
Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, the totally closed 2005 Calon Segur
is one of those traditionally made, back strapping, uncompromising
Bordeaux that will last 30-40 or more years. Its dense ruby colour
with purple nuances is followed by a nose that reluctantly offers up
scents of damp earth, wood smoke, black cherries, cassis, and an exotic
Asian spice character. The wine is formidably endowed and broodingly
tannic, with noticeable acidity and a structured, nearly impenetrable
mouthfeel. Nevertheless, it is easy to sense the weight, extract, and
richness in this pure, deep wine. |

LES PAGODES de COS
St. Estephe
2nd Wine of Chateau
Cos d'Estournel
RP -
The second wine,
the 2005 Les Pagodes de Cos, is already delicious. Offering plenty of
cedar, cappuccino, and black cherry notes in a medium-bodied, seamless
style with no hard edges, it will provide plenty of pleasure over the
next decade. |

COS D'ESTOURNEL
St. Estephe
RP -
A beautiful example
of the vintage, proprietor Michel Reybier and his top-notch winemaker,
Jean-Guillaume Prats, have fashioned an exceptional wine displaying a
dense ruby/purple colour as well as a sweet perfume of boysenberries,
black currants, cherries, pain grille, roasted herbs, and liquorice.
Medium-bodied with impressive density for the vintage, sweet tannin, and
outstanding richness and length. |

LAFON ROCHET
St Estephe
RP -
Perhaps the
finest Lafon Rochet ever made, the purity, freshness, and sweet, rich,
blueberry and boysenberry fruit and hint of pen ink that are found in this
opaque purple-coloured wine are impressive. Massive in the mouth, with
freshness, delineation, and sweet tannin, it is a major sleeper of the
vintage that should last for 25+ years.

LAFON ROCHET
St Estephe

Blueberry and
blackberry aromas follow through to a full body, with liquorice and dried
currant. Chewy and tannic, yet the tannins are polished. Very good for
the vintage.

LAFON ROCHET
St Estephe
RP -
Always a
noteworthy value among the Medoc’s classified growths, the 2006
Lafon Rochet offers a dark opaque purple colour as well as a classic
bouquet of blue and black fruits intermixed with damp earth and toasty
oak. Medium to full-bodied, powerful, and rich, it is not yet
complex, but the fruit is present, the texture is enticing, and the wine
appears set for 15-18 years of longevity.

A big time sleeper

inky/blue/purple colour, sweet aromas of crème de cassis intermixed with

DAME de MONTROSE
St Estephe
2nd Wine
of Chateau Montrose
The top wine currently sells for approx. £93 a bottle!
So this represents excellent value.
RP- The second wine is the sexy, sensual La Dame de Montrose. The
2008, which represents 28% of the estate’s production, is a blend of 56%
Merlot and 44% Cabernet Sauvignon. With a deep ruby/purple color, sweet
tannins, seemingly low acidity, and lush, concentrated flavours, it
should be a crowd-pleasing head-turner for at least 10-15 years. |

MONTROSE
St Estephe
RP-
One of the
superstars of the vintage, this classic Montrose is not as showy or
opulent as the 2010, 2009 or 2003, but it offers a dense purple color
followed by gorgeously sweet black raspberry and black currant fruit
intermixed with loamy, earthy, forest floor notes, a floral component and
a long, full-bodied finish. The 2008 was fashioned from yields of 44
hectoliters per hectare which is slightly less than the 2010's 45
hectoliters per hectare.

ORMES DE PEZ
St Estephe
RP-
A sleeper of the
vintage and the best Les Ormes de Pez made in decades, this opaque
purple-hued 2009 offers up pure crème de cassis fruit intermixed with
hints of charcoal, smoke, and crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied and
pure with good freshness as well as a soft, layered mouthfeel, it will
offer delicious drinking over the next 10-15 years.

PHELAN SEGUR
St Estephe
RP-
Like many of the
top 2009s, Phelan-Segur is a huge, full-bodied effort with massive
fruit as well as good freshness, precision, and elegance. This is all
rather paradoxical given previous great vintages that either lean toward
cooler vintage characteristics or hot ones. This 2009 possesses both
styles. It exhibits lots of mulberry, boysenberry, and crushed, jammy
black fruits, abundant tannin, medium to full body, an opulent mouthfeel,
and enough structure to evolve for two decades or more.
