Cantenac Margaux 3rd Growth Classification

The 1972 Château Boyd-Cantenac is a well-aged Third Growth Margaux, though it comes from a difficult vintage. The 1972 Bordeaux growing season was cool and damp, leading to uneven ripening and lighter wines with limited aging potential. As a result, many wines from this year are now past their peak, though well-stored bottles may still offer a glimpse into Margaux’s refined character.

Now over 50 years old, this wine would have evolved significantly, likely showing softened fruit, earthy notes, and delicate tertiary aromas. While Château Boyd-Cantenac is known for producing elegant and structured wines, the vintage’s natural challenges mean that its longevity is uncertain. …

Margaux

Château La Gurgue, situated in the Margaux appellation of Bordeaux, has a rich history of producing wines that reflect the elegance and complexity characteristic of the region. The 1971 vintage, while overshadowed by the exceptional 1970, was considered very good, yielding wines that have aged gracefully over the decades. ​


Specific tasting notes for the 1971 Château La Gurgue are scarce, making it challenging to provide detailed insights into its current profile. However, given the general quality of the 1971 vintage in Bordeaux, it's plausible that well-preserved bottles may exhibit tertiary aromas such as leather, tobacco, and earthy notes, with softened tannins and a harmonious palate. …

St Estephe, Cru Grand Bourgeois Exceptional
Special offer | Was £129 | Now £89

Colour is darker than expected with very little bricking. Nose shows clear signs of age and let's you know it is no longer at peak but after a few minutes of air exposure, it comes together nicely. Classic wet tobacco and ash notes on the nose. Medium body but full attack with bright acidity and even though both fruit and tannins have receded, there's still some sweetness. It really penetrates your tastebuds. More tertiary notes of forest floor, game, wet leather, tobacco and cigar box. Finish is pleasant.

Magnum Bottle (150cl)

1967 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste – A Mature Pauillac with Historic Charm
The 1967 Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste comes from a vintage that, while not among Bordeaux’s most renowned, offers a fascinating look at how classic Pauillac wines evolve over time. The 1967 growing season was marked by cooler weather and rain during harvest, which led to wines that were more delicate and initially best suited for earlier drinking. However, well-stored bottles from top châteaux like Grand-Puy-Lacoste, known for its structured and Cabernet Sauvignon-driven style, can still provide a refined and nuanced tasting experience. …

Pauillac, 1er Grand Cru Classe

Reviews
"The wine of the vintage, the 1966 Latour is a classic, old style Bordeaux that has required decades to become drinkable. A dark, opaque garnet color is followed by a fabulous nose of cedar, sweet leather, black fruits, prunes, and roasted walnuts, refreshing underlying acidity, sweet but noticeable tannin, and a spicy finish. This powerful, vigorous, immensely impressive, concentrated Latour has reached its plateau of maturity, where it will remain for another 10-20 years.

St Emilion
High Shoulder

One of the greatest vintages of the post-war period. This exceptional vintage has the peculiarity of producing a tiny crop of exceptional quality. Indeed, after spring frosts which cut the burden of the grapes by half, grapes of a perfect maturity and exceptional concentration are harvested in a hot and sunny climate.

Clean, brilliant deep ruby-brick with orange rim. Initial nose showed pleasant, complex cedar, plum, violets and leather, with addition of slight cigar box. palate concurrently shows more plummy fruit. The wine is full-bodied, with ample supple tannins and an extremely long finish. …

Pauillac 1st Growth Classification
Top Shoulder Level

The 1960 Château Latour is a testament to its age and the estate’s commitment to producing quality wines even in difficult years. Though not a standout vintage, it should offer a graceful, fully mature drinking experience. The bottles have been well stored but it may not have the power or complexity of more renowned vintages like 1959 or 1961.

If you're considering purchasing a 1960 Château Latour, it may be a fragile wine, so handle it carefully, decant lightly, and savor its historical significance.

Saint- Emilion

Appearance:
Medium garnet with gentle tawny hues at the rim, showing the elegant evolution of this small Saint‑Émilion Grand Cru over nearly 70 years. The core still holds colour, but age has softened the edges to an inviting amber‑tinged brilliance.

Nose:
Enticing and mature, with dried red and black fruit — think plum compote, dried cherry and softened cassis — interlaced with earthy forest floor, cedar chest, and delicate leather. Secondary notes of tobacco leaf, spice and a hint of game add complexity without overwhelming the perfume.

Palate:
Medium‑bodied and refined, the palate unfolds with memories of black plum, dried raspberry and faint herbaceous nuances. …

Barsac, Premier Cru Classe

1947 Chateau Coutet tasting note from Cellar Tracker. "If the nose on the 1947 Coutet is promising, then the palate over-delivers with the most fresh rough cut Seville orange marmalade, macadamia, toffee, cooked shiitake, Marsala, and unsmoked cigar. This isn’t the biggest, but I love its combination of fresh and savory, of young and old, of lush and svelte." Tasted 2022 - 96 Points
