Collectors Lot 240
BORDEAUX
1 – 750 ml bottle each except as noted – 10 bottles total
Château Langoa Barton 2000
This wine reveals a deep, saturated purple color and an expansive, sweet nose of earthy black currants, plum, and melted licorice. It is structured, dense, chewy, with full body, good acidity, and plenty of tannin. RP 91 (2 bottles)
Château Cantenac Brown 2000
Loaded with chocolatey black currants intermixed with sweet earth, cedar, and spice box, it exhibits medium to full body, surprisingly ripe tannin, a multi-layered texture as well as mid-palate, and a finish that lasts 25-30 seconds. RP 90
Château Duhart Milon 2000
An outstanding Duhart, this blend of 80.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19.5% Merlot reveals a deep ruby/purple color as well as notes of lead pencil intermixed with wet stones, black currants. RP 90
Château Raussan Segla 2000
The dark ruby/purple color is saturated and impressive. Notes of black currants, earth, cedar, and spice box emerge from a relatively closed, firm, medium to full-bodied wine or, as the French would say, a classic vin de garde (for long-term cellaring). RP 90
Château La Confession 2005
Opaque purple, with a sweet blue and blackberry perfume intertwined with licorice and graphite, the 2005 La Confession exhibits massive concentration and extraction. It is a brilliant effort! RP 95 (3 bottles)
Château Calon Segur 2003
The saturated ruby/purple-colored 2003 exhibits a promising nose of mulberries, blackberries, cherries, and hints of new oak and truffles. This 60% Cabernet Sauvignon / 40% Merlot blend possesses a gorgeous texture as well as an expansive, exotic softness, and 13% alcohol. It is generous and rich. RP 94 (2 bottles)
