The 1998 Ausone, a tour de force, is one of the vintage's great wines. Its dense purple color is followed by notes of camphor, crushed rocks, spring flowers, black raspberries, blueberries and black currants. This full-bodied 1998 should prove to be one of the vintage's longest-lived wines, likely to be at its best from 2020 until 2035.
The 2016 Ausone is poised and reserved. There is an extravagant bouquet of exotic hedgerow fruit, Asian spice, cassis, violets, herbs and boysenberry with tremendous minerality and a salinity that juxtaposes with the sweet redcurrant core. Layers of fruit and minerals flow over the palate and the fruit infused tannins. Whilst this is utterly...
The deep garnet-purple coloured 2017 Ausone is a blend of 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot. It sashays out of the glass with gregarious scents of baked red and black plums, wild blueberries and boysenberries plus touches of violets, espresso, licorice and melted chocolate. Medium-bodied, the palate is an exercise in poise, featuring beautifully ripe,...
The 2018 Ausone is off the charts. Deep, sensual and mysterious, the 2018 is going to need many years to show the full breadth of its potential. And yet, there is so much there. Rich and concentrated on the palate, with phenomenal persistence, the 2018 is loaded with energy, tension and precision, offering a compelling interplay of opulence, saline...
Deep garnet-purple in colour, after a shake or two, the nose erupts with the most gorgeous perfume of juicy blueberries, baked black plums, and black raspberries, followed by nuances of pencil shavings, iron ore, rose oil, and black truffles with a waft of cedar. The medium to full-bodied palate is taut with shimmery, energetic black and blueberry layers,...

Château Barrail du Blanc is 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc; the wine is aged partly in oak barrels, 50% of which are new. The nose is plummy with super ripe notes, heavy with dense fruit and delectable charm. The palate is sweet, supple, full flavoured, stylishly grippy with a freshness and length to the finish.
Chateau Beaumont has long be known as a popular 'luncheon Claret' here in the UK. Its classic black fruits and savoury notes are presented in an approachable and food-friendly style. The 2019 vintage has produced what may be Beaumont's finest effort in modern times and yet it remains outstanding value.

A great Bordeaux is hard to come by at this price point but Bellecroix proves otherwise. The approach of this wine is delivered straight off the bat with the distinctive aromas of blue fruit and black cherry, as well as an earthy element in the background. On the palate it's open with ceder, tobacco and dark fruits that lingers nicely on the palate.
It has an attractive bouquet with black cherries, a touch of crème de cassis and incense aromas, quite generous and pretty. The oak is nicely integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannin that exert a gentle but insistent grip in the mouth. There is a lovely saline seam in the mouth with a little chalkiness coming through...
