“Tasted blind. Deep ruby. Slightly meaty, with rich, dense cherry fruit at the core. Polished, rich and refined with generous red fruits. The tannins are succulent for the vintage, allowing the fruit to shine through. Smoky, seductive finish. Cedary too.” 16.5 pts., Tom Parker MW, jancisrobinson.com

2020 Chateau Malescot St. Exupery 3eme Cru Classe, Margaux 6x75cl
"Sporting a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Malescot St. Exupery prances out of the glass with showy scents of ripe black and red currants, black cherries, raspberry leaves and ground cloves, plus... wafts of lilacs and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-coating black and red fruit layers with a firm, grainy texture and well-balanced acidity, finishing on a lingering fragrant-earth note." 95-97 pts., Lisa Perrotti-Brown, robertparker.com

2018 Chateau Brane-Cantenac 2eme Cru Classe, Margaux 12x75cl
"The 2018 Brane-Cantenac opens with a super-classic bouquet of dried herbs, pencil shavings, licorice and mint. Medium in body and wonderfully nuanced, Brane-Cantenac marries the natural richness of... the year with a classic structural feel. This is one of the most elegant, restrained 2018s readers will come across. I loved it." 95 pts., Neal Martin, www.vinous.com

2020 Chateau Siran, Margaux 6x75cl
From one of Margaux's most iconic producer that has been family-run for over 160 years, the 2020 vintage is an assemblage of 47% merlot, 43% cabernet sauvignon, 9% petit verdot and 1% cabernet franc... grown on the classic gravel, clay and pebble soils that defines this exclusive terroir. The 2020 vintage is the third of three consecutive, exceptional vintages and one in which this estate once again finds its ultimate expression.

2020 Chateau Pontet-Canet 5eme Cru Classe, Pauillac 6x75cl
The 2020 is yet another superb wine from an estate that has hardly put a foot wrong since the mid-1990s. A Château that delivers quality to equal and often surpass that of the super seconds, yet is... available at a much more palatable price tag.
60% cabernet, 32% merlot and 4% cab franc and petit verdot apiece, here is essential Pauillac: lifted, lilac-floral, chocolate and cherry nose; fresh, full-bodied cassis, plum and licorice palate, with layer upon layer of finely grained tannins with a terrific minerality and finish. It’s set for a glorious ageing.

2020 Chateau Palmer 3eme Cru Classe, Margaux 3x150cl
"The 2020 Palmer, which was matured in 65% new oak, possesses one of the most perfumed bouquets of the vintage with entrancing, seductive scents of black cherries, wild strawberry, iodine and crushed... violets, all beautifully delineated (as per usual). The palate is medium-bodied with fine but quite firm tannins, lending this Palmer more backbone than presupposed. Blackberry, graphite and touches of liquorice develop with aeration that build towards an assertive, pencil box-tinged finish that nods towards Pauillac. This is a Palmer destined for long-term ageing, so readers should have a cool damp cellar handy. It is a serious Palmer, very different from the previous two vintages, not a mix of the two, but content in just being itself." 96-98 pts., Neal Martin, vinous.com

2019 Domaine de Cambes, Bordeaux 12x75cl
"70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc. Fruit pushed to the edge of overripeness but it works. Bright, dark-fruit notes with toasted overlay. Palate sweet, silky and gourmand, bringing a freshness to the finish. Clearly surpasses its appellation status. " 16 pts., James Lawther, MW, jancisrobinson.com

2018 Chateau Les Gravieres, Saint-Emilion 6x75cl
"Made from 100% Merlot, the 2018 Les Gravieres is deep garnet-purple and rocks up with gregarious blueberry pie, chocolate-covered cherries and plum preserves scents with nuances of violets, spice... cake and mocha. Big, full and decadently fruited, it has a firm frame of super ripe, grainy tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing very long and layered." 94-96 pts., Lisa Perrotti-Brown, www.robertparker.com

2021 Chateau Langoa Barton 3eme Cru Classe, Saint-Julien 6x75cl
"A dark, brooding nose, full of bramble fruits and cherry chocolate drops. Tannins are to the fore; they coat the mouth giving a chewy, supple texture lifting the bright strawberry, bitter raspberry... and juicy red cherry fruits and giving this an air of knitted tension - all delivered in one straight line. I like the focus, it doesn't waver from start to finish and is intense the whole way also with sweet cedar, clove and cinnamon edges to the finish which gives nuances and depth. Good effort." 93 pts., Georgina Hindle, decanter.com

2019 Chateau d’Armailhac 5eme Cru Classe, Pauillac 6x75cl
"The 2019 d'Armailhac is impeccable, just as it was from barrel. Sweet red cherry, blood orange, mint and cinnamon all run through the 2019, but it is brightness and energy I admire most. The purity... of the fruit is compelling, as is the wine's balance. The 2019 was the last vintage made in the old facility. It will be fascinating to see where the Mouton takes d'Armailhac from here." 91 pts., Antonio Galloni

2020 Chateau Beaumont, Haut-Medoc 12x75cl
2The 2020 Beaumont has a well-defined bouquet of blackberry, briar and light pine cone scents plus a welcome touch of orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied and classic in style, with dry-ish... tannins, but in no way austere; in fact, it displays fine depth and commendable salinity toward the finish. What they used to call "English gentleman’s claret," a.k.a. a good solid Haut-Médoc. Enjoy over 12–15 years." 89-91 pts., Neal Martin, www.vinous.com

2018 Chateau D’Aiguilhe, Castillon-Cotes de Bordeaux 12x75cl
"The 2018 d'Aiguilhe is fabulous. Rich and ample to the core, the 2018 bursts from the glass with striking intensity. Super-ripe red and purplish berry fruit, lavender and rose petals are some of the... many nuances that flesh out in the glass. This sumptuous, flamboyant Côtes de Castillon is a real stunner. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc." 89-92 pts., Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com

2018 Chateau Gloria, Saint-Julien 6x75cl
"The 2018 Gloria has a wonderful, harmonious bouquet of copious blackberry, briary, cedar and tobacco notes that just feels so... effortless. The very harmonious palate offers pure black fruit laced... with graphite. Displaying moderate weight and fine acidity, and quite linear and focused on the finish, this is a very classy Gloria that may warrant a higher score down the line." 93 pts., Neal Martin, www.vinous.com
