Margaux

Margaux, 2éme Cru Classé

Médoc

Forward and fleshy, with a plush feel to the crushed fig, plum and steeped currant fruit, inlaid with anise, mulled spice and incense. Shows solid length, with lots of cocoa lingering on the finish. Drink now through 2020. 4,000 cases made. 90 WA 90 WS

A masculine-styled, dense purplecolored 2009, this cuvee offers up scents of charcoal, asphalt, black currants, incense, and crushed rocks. This deep, medium to full-bodied, well-made Margaux is broader, richer, and more substantial than usual, with more alcohol as well as substance. The tannins are ripe and wellintegrated. This is a 30-year wine. (Tasted two times.) 90 WA 89 WS

A sleeper of the vintage, this consistently over-achieving Medoc has a character unlike a low-level Pauillac. Black currants galore intermixed with some crushed rock, licorice, tobacco leaf and spice box are all present in this deep ruby/purple-colored, medium to fullbodied wine. The tannins are sweet and extra fleshy, and the wine ideal for drinking over the next decade. 88 WA

Moulis This polished, precise red exhibits delicious mulled black cherry, sleek cassis and dark plum fruit all inlaid with hints of toasted spice and mesquite. A nice flash of chalk helps give the finish cut. Drink now through 2015. 29,165 cases made. 90 WA 90 WS

Note: PER LOT 12 BTS (OWC) Estimate: $700—800

Make no mistake about it, the 1989 Chasse-Spleen is the finest wine this property has produced since their great 1949. Additional information available on our website.

Ventoux

Pessac-Léognan

Pessac-Léognan

Pessac-Léognan

Offers a rich, very dense feel, but stays racy thanks to a strong graphite frame around the core of roasted fig, plum sauce and maduro tobacco. Muscular but defined on the finish, with a long tarry edge in reserve. This shows serious depth and is more backward than most of its peers. Should really stretch out nicely in the cellar. Best from 2017 through 2035. 6,665 cases made. 100 WA 94 WS
