Vinous - Antonio Galloni (89-91)The 2020 Chantegrive is quite expressive in this tasting. Raspberry jam, gravel, savory herbs and pencil shavings abound. Powerful and driving in the glass, with tons of backing energy, the 2020 is a terrific wine in the making. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (91)The 2019 Mauvesin Barton is gorgeous. Crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, tobacco, mint and spice lend nuance to this gracious, beautifully lifted Moulis. The 2019 is understated yet wonderfully expressive and very tasty. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (88-90)The 2021 Sénéjac opens with strong Cabernet inflections. Deep and also quite sturdy, Sénéjac is promising. Pipe tobacco, cedar, mint, spice and dried herbs linger on the somewhat rustic finish. Let's see how this comes together. |

Wine Enthusiast (91)Formerly the property of one of Napoleon's generals, this estate is now performing impressively after renovations. This wine is richly structured and packed with black fruits. Dark tannins vie with black currants and ripe spice in this wine that will age well. Drink from 2024. |

James Suckling (92-93)Very pretty with pure cassis and sliced orange character. Medium body, fine tannins and a polished finish. Balanced and fresh. Some stone and salty undertones. 64% merlot, 28% cabernet sauvignon and 8% carmenere. |

Bordeaux | 14 | 89 (VN (NM)) | £0.14 |
Inc. VAT
£222.54 |
||||
Vinous - Neal Martin (89)The 2012 Fourcas Hosten has more definition and focus than the 2011, offering higher-toned and more vivacious black fruit laced with cedar and crushed stone. There is something almost Pauillac-like about this Listrac. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and well-judged acidity. It firms up toward the fresh finish, which has just the right amount of dryness and grip and an appealing marine tinge. This is worth seeking out. |

Bordeaux | 16 | 86-88 (VN (ID)) | £0.14 |

£224.20 |

Vinous - Ian D'Agata (86-88)Deep ruby-red. Perfumed mineral and cassis aromas. Bright and juicy on the palate, with very good ripeness to the black berry, cedar and floral flavors. Richer and deeper than usual. |

|
Bordeaux | 3 | 91-93 (WA) | £0.14 |
Inc. VAT
£234.41 |
||||
Wine Advocate (91-93)The 2020 Carlmagnus has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and vivacious scents of redcurrant jelly, ripe black plums and boysenberries, plus hints of iron ore, black truffles, lavender and cracked black pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate fills the mouth with intense red and black fruit layers, supported by ripe, rounded tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and earthy. |

|
|
Bordeaux | 15 | 90-92 (VN (NM)) | £0.15 |
Inc. VAT
£248.81 |
||||
Vinous - Neal Martin (90-92)The 2020 Fourcas Hosten displays very good intensity on a nose of ebullient blackberry, cedar and crushed violet scents that burst from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins. A slight herbaceous element lends freshness, and white pepper and graphite appear toward the grippy, almost sinewy finish. This is quite a bold Listrac that will require 4–5 years in bottle, but it comes across as cohesive and shows good cellaring potential. |

Bordeaux | 9 | 91-92 (JS) | £0.15 |

James Suckling (91-92)A creamy and velvety red with redcurrants and spices. Some tobacco, too. Medium and juicy. 53% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 6% petit verdot and 1% cabernet franc. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90)The 2018 Dutruch Grand Poujeaux has a light bouquet that gains intensity with aeration, offering red fruit laced with pine and light minty aromas and fine definition. The palate is medium-bodied with firm grip, the tannins framing the satisfying blackberry and raspberry fruit. There is a sense of this Moulis holding itself back, and I appreciate the balance and harmony that carry through to the finish. A well-crafted wine that merits seeking out. |

Bordeaux | 3 | 89 (VN (AG)) | £0.15 |
Inc. VAT
£251.21 |
||||
Vinous - Antonio Galloni (89)The 2018 La Rivière is a bold, powerful wine with a lot of character. Inky red fruit, grilled herbs, rose petal, mint, iron, dried herbs and espresso build in a virile, earthy Fronsac that has a lot to offer. I would give the 2018 a year or two in bottle to soften a touch. There's a lot of wine here. |

Bordeaux | 23 | 94 (DC) | £0.15 |

Decanter (94)Super expressive on the nose, white peach, pear, lime, apricot and pineapple - smells lively and fresh. Really round and unctuous on the palate, more sombre in terms of outright acidity but this has a lovely, well framed structure with honeyed fruit, quince, apricot and fleshy white peach Certainly a gourmet style, with some hints of bitter lemon too to give nuance and complexity. A great combination of aromatic intensity from the Sauvignon Gris and Semillon with freshness and verve from the Sauvignon Blanc. Charming and characterful. Lovely. One to enjoy now or keep in the cellar to age. A blend of 50% Semillon, 45% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Sauvignon Gris. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90-92)The 2019 Haut-Chaigneau, a Lalande-de-Pomerol under Pascal Chatonnet's umbrella, has a vivacious nose with ample raspberry and blackberry fruit with traces of sous-bois. Fine definition and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with an appealing saline entry and well judged acidity. Maybe it needs a little more length, but there is clearly good winemaking at work on this delightful wine. Very promising. |

Bordeaux | 8 | 91 (VN (NM)) | £0.15 |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2020 Haut-Chaigneau represents a fine Lalande-de-Pomerol. Black plums commingle with leather and pencil lead scents that is well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with lovely sappiness on the entry, impressive depth and commendable balance. That Cabernet Franc imparts an attractive pencil lead tincture on the finish that gives it a Left Bank allure. This has kicked on nicely through its élevage and deserves a higher score than I gave from barrel. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90)The 2018 Lestage Simon has a ripe, quite opulent but focused bouquet of mainly red fruit (strawberry and raspberry), floral tones and cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with a succulent, fleshy opening, but there is also satisfying structure and grip to this Haut-Médoc. Blood orange lingers on the aftertaste. Very fine. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (87)The 2017 Fourcas Hosten is admittedly a bit of a comedown after the high point of the previous vintage. This is much more introverted and earthy on the nose, missing the fruité of the 2016. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly coarse tannins and modest depth, but as before, I still find the finish rather dry. |

Bordeaux | 11 | 87 (VN (NM)) | £0.15 |
Inc. VAT

Vinous - Neal Martin (87)The 2014 Fourcas Hosten has a pleasant, clean bouquet that lacks the presence and concentration I expect from this decent vintage. It seems a little diffuse compared to, say, the 2012 or 2016. The palate is balanced with grainy tannins, and quite compact, leading to a bitter cherry and blackberry finish. It does not quite knit together as well as I was hoping, hence my prudent score. |
|||||||||

|
Bordeaux | 1 | 89+ (VN (NM)) | £0.15 |
Inc. VAT
£248.81 |
||||
Vinous - Neal Martin (89+)The 2018 Citran has retained its well-defined, marine-influenced nose of black fruit infused with seaweed and oyster shells but is less diffuse than it was out of barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a little foursquare, perhaps, but fresh and showing more cohesion and complexity on the finish compared to some of its peers. Good show. And maybe it will improve further. |
