    2018 Château Cos d'Estournel 2. GRAND CRU CLASSÉ SAINT ÉSTÈPHE A.C.
    Jahrhundertwein!!! Eigentlich sind wir keine Freunde dieses Ausdrucks. Doch bei diesem famosen Wein bleibt uns keine andere Wahl. Die Investitionen in die penible Weinbergsarbeit, nahezu biodynamischen Anbau und hoch moderner Kellertechnik macht sich bezahlt. Château Cos d’Estournel ist in einem unnachahmlichen Charakter unglaublich dicht, voluminös und doch ganz klar und fein. Opulenz ja, doch nicht überbordend, nicht überfordernd, einfach phänomenal! Samtig, weich, vielschichtig und harmonisch. Diese Balance macht ihn in 2018 einen kleinen Tick besser als Montrose (diese Aussage fällt uns als notorische Montrose-Fans nicht leicht) – der beste Saint-Éstèphe 2018! (98-99+ Punkte) Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97-100/100 Punkte »The 2018 Cos d'Estournel is composed of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc and has 14.59% alcohol. Aging in 50% new barriques, it has a deep purple-black color and drifts effortlessly, gracefully, seductively out of the glass with slowly unfurling notions of blackcurrant cordial, wild blueberries, chocolate-covered cherries and plum pudding with touches of violets, licorice, wild roses and yeast extract plus a waft of loose tobacco. The full-bodied palate is built like a brick house with a solid frame of super firm, super ripe tannins and seamless freshness to back up the vibrant, crunchy, oh-so-muscular fruit, finishing long with loads of mineral layers. Amazing structure will keep this beauty for at least half a century and probably a full one!« James Suckling: 98-99/100 Punkte »The beautiful integration of ripe fruit and ripe tannins gives the wine a layered and agile mouthfeel. Soft and gorgeous with silky tannins that really kick in at the finish and carry the wine for a long time.« Falstaff: 98/100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische schwarze Herzkirschen, feine Edelholzwürze, ein Hauch von Nougat, mit schwarzen Waldbeeren unterlegt. Saftig, elegant, reife Kirschen, finessenreich, präsente, feinwürzige Tannine, zarter Nougat, ein sehr beeindruckender frischer Stil, zart nach Feigen im Nachhall.«  Decanter: 97/100 Punkte »This has some austerity on the attack, then announces its arrival in the inimitable way that Cos is able to do: with a slow build up of exotic spices, liquorice root, cedar and cassis. It stretches out through the palate and you keep waiting for the tannins to punch through like they did in 2010, but it doesn't happen, even though this is a big wine with high alcohol and an IPT of 80. There's a great menthol freshness on the finish, helped no doubt by a fresh 3.65pH. It has the luxurious signature of Cos, the glamorous touch that you look for in this wine - like at Mouton and at Angelus - that is part of their DNA, but it's also married to elegance and a touch of slate minerality. This is a wine that you would be thrilled to own. 12mm of rain on 12 September and 20mm in mid-August were just enough to stop any blockages in ripening, although the 30hl/ha yield is low due to a touch of mildew and some concentration in September. This compares to a more generous 45hl/ha in 2016. 65% of production went into the grand vin. 1% Petit Verdot makes up the blend, and the wine is aged in 50% new oak (a little lower than the usual 60%). A candidate to upscore when in bottle. Drinking Window 2028 - 2042«  Wine Enthusiast: 95-97/100 Punkte  »Barrel Sample. Big, rich and smoky in nature, with powerful fruits and dense tannins, this is a wine that is straining at the limits but still within balance. Rich, smoky flavors shine along with the black plum fruit and bright acidity. It will age for many years.« Weinwisser: 18,5/20 »74 % Cabernet Sauvignon 23 % Merlot, 2 % Cabernet Franc, 1 % Petit Verdot, 14,5 % vol, 2/3 Grand Vin, 29,5 hl/ha. Dichtes Granatrot mit aufhellendem Rand. Komplexes Bouquet mit Wildkirschen, Rosmarin, Wacholder. Im zweiten Ansatz Waldhimbeeren und Lakritze. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur und blitzblank polierten Tanninen, dann packt der Cos zu und zeigt sein gewaltiges Lagerpotenzial, wird engmaschig und muskelbepackt. Im gebündelten, langanhaltenden Finale mit schwarzbeerigen Konturen, dunklen Edelhölzern und Brasiltabak. Endet mit dieser typischen St.-Estèphe-Arroganz. Hat sein enormes Potenzial (leider) nicht ganz ausgeschöpft, kann noch zulegen! Trinken 2028 bis 2048«  Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    2018 Château Branaire-Ducru 4.GRAND CRU CLASSÉ SAINT-JULIEN A.C.
    Aufgrund seiner eleganten Art steht Branaire-Ducru oft im Schatten der großen Vier in Saint-Julien. Zu Unrecht, denn das hervorragend ausbalancierte Geschmacksprofil - einladende Blaubeer- und Cassis-Aromen werden von feiner Mineralität umspielt - bringt jeden Bordeaux-Fan ins Schwärmen. James Suckling: 95-96/100 Punkte »This is a fantastic Brainaire with deep and dark fruit, such as blackberries and blackcurrants. Lots of raspberries, too. Full-bodied with firm and creamy tannins and a super long finish. We will see if it’s better than 2016, but on its way.« Wine Spectator: 94-97/100 Punkte  »This is well-packed, with blueberry, açaí and blackberry fruit flavors and licorice snap and fruitcake notes. Long and refined despite the copious fruit, showing polish and poise through the finish.« Wine Enthusiast: 94-96/100 Punkte »Barrel Sample. This is a dense wine that is built by firm tannins, bright acidity and great fruitiness. Its structure is fully integrated into the blackberry fruits that give a rich wine that has a fine future.« Falstaff: 94/100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Cassisnuancen, schwarze Kirschen, floraler Touch, einladendes Bukett. Saftig, elegant, feine Fruchtsüße, frisch strukturiert, gut eingebundene Tannine, elegant und bereits gut entwickelt, ein ausgewogener Begleiter bei Tisch.«  Decanter: 93/100 Punkte »Branaire-Ducru has managed to produce an exceptionally balanced and refined St-Julien in a year when that was not the easiest task. Depth and complexity is clear, although it's just a little held back right now. The architecture is such that there are walls to scale and depths to plumb, but with less generosity overall. 53hl/ha yield. Drinking Window 2027 - 2040«  Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 92-94/100 Punkte »The deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Branaire-Ducru begins just a tad reduced with broody tar, rubber and fried herbs scents giving way to a fragrant core of warm cassis, blackberry pie and blueberry coulis with touches of smoked meats and tobacco. Full-bodied, firm and rugged in the mouth with brawny, muscular fruit and a sturdy frame of grainy tannins, it finishes long and savory.« Vinum: 17/20 Punkte »Ungewöhnlich wuchtiger, feuriger, vollmundiger Wein, dem es auch an Frische nicht mangelt, im Stil des Jahres sehr gelungen. 2028 bis 2040« Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    2010 Château Malescot Saint Exupery 3ème Cru Classé Margaux A.C.
    Robert M. Parker(Wine Advocate): 95 Punkte Gorgeous, flowery, classic Margaux once again, the 2010 Malescot St.-Exupery continues to show virtually no toasty oak, given the impeccable balance and full-bodied, full-throttle style it possesses. Black raspberries, creme de cassis and spring floral notes intermixed with forest floor and a hint of charcoal are followed by an opulent, sexy, full-bodied wine whose tannins have become much sweeter, while the wine is less restrained yet still exuberant and impressive. This is a phenomenal example once again for this estate, harmonious in every sense of style, extraordinarily long, rich and ageworthy. Three to four years of bottle age will do wonders to make it more accessible, but this wine is set for 25-30 years of longevity. Genussreife: 2013-2036 Weinwisser (René Gabriel): 18/20 Punkte Extrem dunkles Purpur. Vielschichtiges, parfümiertes Bouquet,Holunderblüten, Brombeeren, Heidelbeeren, tolle Tiefe. Feiner Gaumen, seidigeTannine, blaue und schwarze Beeren, gut stützende Säure, was dem Wein auch eineimposante Länge beschert. Wieder auf Top-Niveau – wie schon letztes Jahr. Genussreife: 2013-2043 Wine Spectator(James Molesworth): 93-96 Punkte Fresh and lively, with lots of prominent but silky tannins carrying themouthwatering plum, red currant and black cherry fruit. Rock-solid, with greatburied acidity and a long, vivid finish. Decanter (StevenSpurrier): 17,5/20 Punkte Striking fragrance of cassis-Cabernet fruit with a hint of greenness that addslift, very good extraction and florality beginning to emerge, will showfascinating complexity over time.

    2011 Château Pontet Canet 5éme Cru Classé Pauillac AOC - in der 6er Holzkiste
    Saftiger, eleganter Gaumen, samtig weiche, aber doch präsente Tannine, royaler Körper mit traumhafter Länge. Eindeutig einer der besten Pauillac dieses Jahrgangs - Bio at it´s best! James Suckling: 95 Punkte "A wine with lots of ripe berries, verging on dried fruits. Full and chewy with ripe, round, chewy tannins. It needs lots of bottle age. A wine of steel. From biodynamically grown grapes, as always. Better than from barrel. Try in 2018." Robert Parker: 93+ Punkte "Proprietor Alfred Tesseron-s 2011 Pontet-Canet is packaged in an engraved, heavy bottle, which only adds to the attractiveness of this beauty. A dense purple color is accompanied by notes of forest floor, acacia flowers and creme de cassis in this full, rich, and unequivocally classic Pauillac. With soft but noticeable tannins as well as a complete, full-bodied mouthfeel, this 2011 will benefit from 3-4 years of cellaring, and should age effortlessly for 15-20 years. Bravo!" Wine Spectator: 92 Punkte "This cuts a broad swath, with prominent notes of espresso and ganache leading to the core of crushed plum and blackberry confiture. Lush, with the ganache edge joining a loamy hint to underscore the finish. Consistent with the barrel tasting, this shows more breadth than cut in the end." Trinkreife: von 2016 bis 2026 Decanter: 18 Punkte "Wild violets and black fruit nose, both exuberant and classic. It is a wonderfully elegant Pauillac with superb vineyard expression." Trinkreife: von 2016 bis 2035

    2018 Château Cambon La Pelouse HAUT-MÉDOC A.C.
    Ganz klar kistenweise einlagern! Nach einer kleineren Schwächephase in den letzten Jahren knüpft Cambon La Pelouse wieder an seine großen Zeiten an! Tiefdunkle Fruchtexplosion gepaart mit kräft igen Tanninen und einem fulminanten Abgang. Decanter: 92/100 Punkte  »They've achieved a measured extraction here without holding back on the cassis and blackberry fruits. I tasted this several times and it consistently impressed. A reliable name, and one to look out for in 2018. Harvested 19 September to 10 October, yielding 45hl/ha. 35% new oak. 3.74pH. Hubert de Bouard consults. Drinking Window 2022 - 2038«  Falstaff: 92/100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Dezente Eichenwürze im Bukett, reife Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Nougat und Kräuter. Kraftvoll, schokoladig, engmaschig, reife Zwetschken, würzige Tannine, zeigt Länge, verfügt über Reifepotenzial.«  James Suckling: 91-92/100 Punkte »A vivid and focused young Bordeaux with blackcurrant and blueberry aromas and flavors. Medium body and fine, polished tannins. Bright finish.« Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 90-92/100 Punkte »Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Cambon la Pelouse is scented of cedar, tar and earth with a core of warm plums and cassis with mocha and lavender hints. The palate is full-bodied, firm and laden with fruit, supported by grainy tannins and finishing long.« Wine Spectator: 88-91/100 Punkte »The plum and blackberry fruit is bright and pure, with a lightly toasted, slightly chewy finish taking over. Should round into form.« Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    2018 Château Branas Grand Poujeaux MOULIS EN MÉDOC A.C.
    Neben Château Poujeaux ist Branas Grand Poujeaux der Beste Moulis 2018. Die Farbe fast schwarz, der Gaumen extraktreich, dazu eine betörende Frucht. Ein belebender Wein in der etwas gebeutelten Region – das Können/Niveau der letzten Jahre wurde wieder bestätigt! Falstaff: 93/100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart nach Kokos, floral unterlegtes frisches Waldbeerkonfit, zarter Nougat, attraktives Bukett. Komplex, straff, feinwürzige Textur, reife Kirschen, etwas Nougat, elegant und anhaftend, ausgewogen, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter mit Reifepotenzial.« James Suckling: 92-93/100 Punkte »Wonderful purity of fruit and finesse on the nose and palate here. Medium body and ultra fine tannins with clarity of fruit and pretty length.« Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 89-91/100 Punkte »This 9.78-hectare vineyard is situated in the town of Moulis-en-Médoc on the Left Bank of Bordeaux, where it is nestled in between Château Poujeaux and Château Chasse-Spleen. From the lieu-dit Grand Poujeaux, the blend is 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. The wine has 14.5% alcohol and is aging in 60% new and 40% second year barrels. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Branas Grand Poujeaux opens with scents of redcurrant jelly, fresh blackberries and ripe plums with hints of chocolate mint and spice cake. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with vivacious red and black fruits, framed by rounded tannins and finishes spicy.« Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    2018 Château Laroze GRAND CRU CLASSÉ SAINT-ÉMILION A.C.
    James Suckling: 92-93/100 Punkte  »A young red with a solid core of blackberry and brambleberry character. Medium body and light, velvety tannins. Flavorful at the end.« Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 91-93/100 Punkte  »Deep purple-black in color, the 2018 Laroze bursts from the glass with warm plums, baked cherries and mulberries with hints of chocolate box, tapenade and camphor. Full, rich and opulent with bags of black fruit preserves and spicy sparks framed by velvety tannins, it finishes with a peppery lift.« Decanter: 91/100 Punkte »This enjoyable wine shows that even the biggest St-Emilions in 2018 have a lyricism to them. It's tight, tannic and concentrated and yet it comes up fresh on the finish. As of 2018, owner Guy Meslin has reintroduced organics into the vineyard (they were once biodynamic here), and achieved HEV3 certification. Harvested 26 September to 18 October, giving a 22hl/ha yield. Drinking Window 2025 - 2040« Falstaff: 91/100 Punkte »Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung.

    2017 Château Haut Brion 2017 Ch. Haut-Brion Pessac-Leognan 6HK
    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 95-97/100 Punkte "Composed of 53% Merlot, 40.7% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6.3% Cabernet Franc, the very deep purple-black colored 2017 Haut-Brion is a little closed on the nose, revealing fresh blackberries, black currants and dark chocolate with suggestions of pencil shavings, beef drippings, tilled soil and cracked black pepper plus a waft of lavender. Medium to full-bodied, it has very firm, ripe, grainy tannins and a lively backbone structuring the tightly knit earth and black fruit layers, finishing with compelling mineral and perfumed layers." Vinous (Neal Martin): 94-96/100 Punkte "The 2017 Haut-Brion was picked from 31 August to 29 September, the longest harvest ever, matured in 69% new oak with 14.25% alcohol (lower than recent vintages.) It has a more generous bouquet than the La Mission Haut-Brion at this point: black cherries, blueberry, a little confit fruit, hints of warm gravel and clove. It is much more restrained than the previous vintages – cooler and linear. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, nicely structured with more grip in the mouth than the La Mission. What it has in common with the aforementioned is a sense of symmetry. It feels very persistent with a light marine/oyster shell influence on the finish. This probably has the edge over the La Mission Haut-Brion at the moment, but intra-family competitiveness aside, it boils down to a great follow-up to the brilliant 2015 and 2016."  Wine Enthusiast: 97-99/100 Punkte "Barrel Sample. The tannins are the secret of this bold wine granting longevity and great structure. At the same time, the ripe blackberry fruits are rich yet bright and fresh. The wine will take time to mature. Drink from 2025."  Decanter: 97/100 Punkte "A hugely captivating wine, one of the contenders for red of the vintage. There´s an incredible plush, dense texture to the fruit here, with just the slightest pulling back on the final section that suggests the damson, cassis and black cherry fruit is not at the full extent of ripeness seen in 2016 and 2015, but there is absolutely no question that this is a successful, rich and well-expressed wine. It´s extremely powerful and well constructed, with great tannins and a succulence which grows through the palate. 3.73pH." James Suckling: 98/100 Punkte "A tight and focused red with dark-berry, chocolate and hazelnut character. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a linear and fine finish. Very refined. Elegant and balanced." Weinwisser: 19+/20 Punkte "53 % Merlot, 40,7 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 6,3 % Cabernet Franc. Dichtes Granatrubin mit violettem Rand. Komplexes, tiefes Bouquet mit Anklängen an Leder, roten Johannisbeeren und Himbeeren. Im zweiten Ansatz verführerische Nuancen von Veilchen, Darjeeling und Mokka. Am Gaumen ein Traum aus seidiger Textur und perfekt stützenden Tanninen, feinspröder Extrakt, trotzdem fesselnd und ergreifend. Im langen Finale eine Symphonie aus Wildkirschen, Palisandernoten und Graphit. Ein ganz grosser, klassischer Haut-Brion, dem der Jahrgang sprichwörtlich in die Hände spielt und diesmal ganz knapp hinter Les Carmes Haut-Brion auf Platz 2 in Pessac kommt. Tendenz steigend, da ist noch mehr Musik drin. 2028 – 2060" Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    2018 Château Smith Haut-Lafitte CRU CLASSÉ PESSAC-LÉOGNAC A.C.
    Blockbuster! Mehrmals verkostet und jedes Mal begeistert. Bereits in der Nase unglaublich ausdrucksstark, klassisch, expressive  Noten von Blaubeere, Pflaume, Lakritz und schwarzer Schokolade. Am Gaumen an einen traumhaften Burgunder erinnernd mit einem Potpourri roter Früchte, Kräutern und Tabak. Chapeau Daniel und Florence Cathiard, euer Wein ist jeden Pfennig wert! James Suckling: 98-99/100 Punkte »This is incredibly complex with hazelnut, currant, berry and dried-flower character. The impression of a vat of fermenting cabernet. Full body, round and juicy tannins and a long, soft and silky finish. Shows the essence of the fruit here. Fascinating. Layered and complex.« Decanter: 98/100 Punkte »There is a luxurious, languorous feel right from the very first nose here, which continues step for step all the way through the palate. It's a highly impressive wine with an amazing texture - something that is starting to mark Smith Haut Lafitte out every year. Notes of dark chocolate, black cherry and liquorice stretch out through the rich palate, displaying tension and texture.  2% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Harvested 18 September to 10 October. 60% new oak. Drinking Window 2027 - 2042« Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97-99+/100 Punkte »Composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot aging in 60% new barriques, the very deep purple-black colored 2018 Smith Haut Lafitte is a little shy to begin. With coaxing, it very slowly unfurls to reveal a heart-stopping perfume of violets, red roses, kirsch, black cherries and redcurrant jelly, before giving way to a profound core of warm blackcurrants, blackberry preserves, molten licorice and cinnamon stick with nuances of dried mint, orange blossoms (yes!) and cloves. Full-bodied, the fruit does veritable pirouettes on your palate, both elegant and powerful in its expression, coating the mouth with densely packed red and black fruits while revealing tons of mineral, floral and savory sparks, framed by exquisitely fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long.« Falstaff: 96/100 Punkte »Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feine Holzwürze, dunkles Waldbeerkonfit, zart nach Brombeeren und Kirschen, Nougat, tabakige Nuancen. Saftig, elegant, schokoladige Textur, eingebundene Tannine, süßer Nachhall, sehr gut anhaftend, sicheres Reifepotenzial.«  Wine Spectator: 95-98/100 Punkte  »Ripe and lush, with delicious waves of plum, blackberry and black currant preserve flavors laced with subtle charcoal, tobacco and licorice notes. There's a long flow through the finish. Beautifully rendered, capturing the ripeness of the vintage in spades without being heady at all.« Wine Enthusiast: 95-97/100 Punkte »Barrel Sample. This is a finely structured, impressive wine that displays bold tannins and a streak of freshness. This shows great balance between its bold structure and rich fruit. Its tannins are the sign of its aging potential.« Weinwisser: 19/20 »60 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 34 % Merlot, 4 % Cabernet Franc, 2 % Petit Verdot, 60 % neue Barriques, 21 hl/ha. Dichtes Granat mit aufhellendem Rand. Komplexes, leicht introvertiertes Bouquet mit Wildkirsche und frischen Küchenkräutern, dahinter Wacholder und Himbeeren. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit stützendem, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, salziger Textur, zeigt viel Souplesse und Kraft. Im gebündelten Finale mit schwarzen Oliven, tasmanischem Bergpfeffer und Cassis. Ein grosser SHL mit grossem Alterungspotenzial! Trinken 2028 bis 2048« Vinum: 17,5/20 Punkte »Wuchtig und vollmundig, doch auch knackig und mit grosser Frische, erstklassiges Tannin; überschwänglich, saftig, lang. 2022 bis 2030«  Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.
