生産者シャトー オー ブリオンChateau Haut-Brionヴィンテージ2011容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 94点予想される飲み頃：2021 - 2045Tasted blind as a vintage comparison at the Valandraud vertical, the 2011 Haut Brion has always been an excellent Pessac-Léognan, though recent encounters suggest it does not have the potential of the 2012. It has a gentle and caressing bouquet full of copious dark cherry and raspberry fruit, a touch of saddle leather and a seam of dark chocolate emanating from................._

生産者シャトー マルゴーChateau Margauxヴィンテージ2006容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 95点予想される飲み頃：2026 - 2056The 2006 Château Margaux remains a very youthful wine, unfurling in the decanter and glass with a deep bouquet of blackcurrants, cigar wrapper, black truffles, loamy soil and nicely integrated new oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a rich and vibrant core of fruit, lively acids and refined but authoritative tannins, it's a rather powerful, elegantly................._

生産者シャトー ムートン ロートシルトChateau Mouton Rothschildヴィンテージ2006容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 96点予想される飲み頃：2023 - 2055Tasted at the Mouton-Rothschild vertical in London, the 2006 Mouton-Rothschild was really the wine that put winemaker Philippe Dhalluin on the map, in the sense that unlike the 2005 born in a great vintage, this 2006 had to transcend it. It remains one of the standouts of the growing season and actually replicates previous showings just the week earlier and................._

生産者シャトー ラフィット ロートシルトChateau Lafite Rothschildヴィンテージ1999容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 93点予想される飲み頃：2009 - 2039The 1999 Lafite Rothschild is entering adolescence and beginning to show very well after an hour in the decanter. Offering up aromas of rich dark fruit mingled with cigar box, loamy soil, spices and subtle animal top notes. Medium to full-bodied, muscular and concentrated for the vintage, with lively acids and still rather youthfully assertive tannins, it................._

生産者シャトー ラフィット ロートシルトChateau Lafite Rothschildヴィンテージ2006容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 95点予想される飲み頃：2018 - 2045Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London and then blind at Farr Vintners tasting. The 2006 Château Lafite-Rothschild offers impressive fruit intensity on the nose, although it does not have the precision of the 2006 Mouton-Rothschild. Red berry fruits intermingle with rose petals and sous-bois scents - very typical Lafite b................._

生産者シャトー オーゾンヌChateau Ausoneヴィンテージ2007容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 92点予想される飲み頃：2015 - 2028Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2007 Bordeaux tasting. The 2007 Ausone has a high-toned bouquet, a little flashy in style compared to its peers with touches of salted licorice coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and fine acidity. This is more cohesive and mild-mannered than the feisty aromatics, with good depth and a caressing, quite plush................._

生産者シャトー ラトゥールChateau Latourヴィンテージ1998容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 90点予想される飲み頃：2009 - 2030Not a blockbuster, the 1998 possesses a dark garnet/purple color in addition to a complex bouquet of underbrush, cedar, walnuts, and licorice-tinged black currants. Although medium to full-bodied and moderately tannic, it lacks the expansiveness in the mid-palate necessary to be truly great. Moreover, the tannin is slightly aggressive, although that is hardly unusual in such a y................._

Medium-bodied, elegant and firmly structured, it has wonderful freshness and a long earthy/meaty finish.(March 2019 Week 2, The Wine Advocate, 15th Ma................._

生産者シャトー フィジャックChateau Figeacヴィンテージ1982容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 92点予想される飲み頃：2002 - 2032I have had brilliant bottles of the 1982 Figeac, but this wine appears to be characterized by above-average bottle variation. Exhibiting aromas of sweet berry fruit, baking spices and currants, but also a pronounced minty, herbaceous streak, this example is medium-bodied, supple and seamless, with melted tannins and a fragrant finish; but it lacks the texture and completeness ................._

生産者シャトー フィジャックChateau Figeacヴィンテージ1995容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 92点予想される飲み頃：N/ATasted at the Ch?teau Figeac vertical at the property from one of the last remaining imperials, one could argue that the six-liter format would have benefit the 1995 Figeac. Even so, that should not take anything away from this, the best vintage of that decade. Firstly, one notices that it is deeper in color than the underwhelming 1996. Then you fall into the aromatics, a beguiling co................._

生産者シャトー シュヴァル ブランChateau Cheval Blancヴィンテージ2005容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 100点予想される飲み頃：2015 - 2035The 2005 from Cheval Blanc is a quintessentially elegant, beautiful, deep bluish/ruby-colored wine from St.-Emilion, with raspberry, blueberry, and floral notes, impressive density, great precision, freshness and purity. Full-bodied, but extremely light on its feet, I don’t mean to gush, but it is super-intense, rich and just so meticulously crafted! This is anoth................._

生産者シャトー オー ブリオンChateau Haut-Brionヴィンテージ1998容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 100点予想される飲み頃：2018 - 2038For my money (and I have some in the cellar), the 1998 Haut-Brion is the finest vintage from this estate between 1989 and 2000, surpassing the 1990. While it remains decidedly youthful at age 25, it is beginning to stir, unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark berry fruit, cigar wrapper, loamy soil, pencil shavings and burning embers. Medium-bodied, deep and concentra................._

生産者シャトー オー ブリオンChateau Haut-Brionヴィンテージ2004容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 93点予想される飲み頃：2020 - 2040It has been a few years since I last tasted the 2004 Haut-Brion. Now at 12 years of age, it retains its deep color. The bouquet is "pleasant" if not as complex as the 2004 Latour, yet it's possibly just biding its time as it gradually opens with black fruit, black olive, even a touch of mint that might dupe you into thinking Pauillac. The palate is medium-bodied and very ................._

生産者シャトー マルゴーChateau Margauxヴィンテージ1997容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 90点予想される飲み頃：2000 - 2015Undoubtedly a success for the vintage, this immensely charming, dark ruby/purple-colored wine exhibits floral, black currant, and smoky, toasty oak aromas. There is admirable richness, excellent ripeness, not a great deal of density, or superb concentration, but plenty of finesse, suppleness, and character. It can be drunk young, or cellared for 12-15 years.(The Wine Advocate, Ap................._

生産者シャトー ムートン ロートシルトChateau Mouton Rothschildヴィンテージ1993容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 90点予想される飲み頃：2004 - 2015After less than persuasive performances in two potentially great years, 1989 and 1990, Mouton-Rothschild appears to have settled down, producing fine efforts in recent vintages, culminating with the enormously promising, unquestionably profound 1995. The 1993 is a beautifully made wine which could be considered a sleeper of the vintage. The wine boasts a da................._

生産者シャトー ムートン ロートシルトChateau Mouton Rothschildヴィンテージ1996容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 97+点予想される飲み頃：2019 - 2056The last time I tasted the 1996 Mouton Rothschild (maybe a couple of years ago?), I recall it was a bit broody and closed. This showing was anything but! Deep garnet in color, it sashays out of the glass with lavishly dressed, gregarious cr?me de cassis, baked blackberries and plum pudding scents plus touches of menthol, fenugreek, star anise and sandalwoo................._

生産者シャトー ムートン ロートシルトChateau Mouton Rothschildヴィンテージ2002容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 91点予想される飲み頃：2017 - 2027Tasted blind as a vintage comparison at the Valandraud vertical, the 2002 Mouton-Rothschild is a wine that burned brightly in its youth, though recent encounters suggest that maybe it is beginning to flag as it enters what you might call middle age. Here, it has a conservative bouquet with blackberry, cedar, warm bricks and melted tar aromas - an unfussy, u................._

生産者シャトー ムートン ロートシルトChateau Mouton Rothschildヴィンテージ2011容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 92点予想される飲み頃：2018 - 2038Tasted at the Mouton-Rothschild vertical in London, the 2011 Mouton-Rothschild is probably the "weakest" of the releases between 2008 and 2012, although that would be unfairly disparaging what is a perfectly respectable, if rather unexciting Mouton. Here, it has those graphite and cedar aromas present and correct, the former a little more accentuated and wi................._

生産者シャトー ラトゥールChateau Latourヴィンテージ2002容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 96点予想される飲み頃：2012 - 2045The wine of the vintage? There are only 10,000 cases of this extraordinarily rich, dense 2002 that is as powerful as the 2003 (even the alcohol levels are nearly the same, 12.85%) . It is dark ruby/purple to the rim, with notes of English walnuts, crushed rocks, black currants, and forest floor, dense, full-bodied, and opulent, yet classic with spectacular aromatics, marvelous p................._

生産者シャトー ラトゥールChateau Latourヴィンテージ2003容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 100点予想される飲み頃：N/A2003 was one of the hottest, earliest Bordeaux vintages ever. Some vines suffered from lack of moisture, but old vines and clay subsoil at Enclos saw this vineyard through. The Merlot harvest occurred between September 8 and 13, and the Cabernet Sauvignon was picked between September 22 and 30. The 2003 Latour is a blend of 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot. Six pe................._

生産者シャトー ラトゥールChateau Latourヴィンテージ2006容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 95点予想される飲み頃：N/ANot an outstanding vintage overall for Bordeaux, 2006 had the potential to be very good. Things got off to a pretty impressive start in Pauillac this year, and then it all went a bit pear-shaped toward the end with a cool, rainy August and late September. Vineyard diligence and a take-no-prisoners attitude on the sorting table were the keys to relative success here. While it is clear La................._

生産者シャトー ラトゥールChateau Latourヴィンテージ2007容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 92点予想される飲み頃：2017 - 2035Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Latour was late-released last year, and I reviewed it at that time. This bottle reaffirmed my remarks from a few months ago albeit here within the context of all the other First Growth. I noticed that it has slightly more intensity than the Lafite-Rothschild, a touch of menthol infusing the black fruit, certainly mor................._

生産者シャトー ラフィット ロートシルトChateau Lafite Rothschildヴィンテージ1990容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 96点予想される飲み頃：2014 - 2044Interestingly, a bottle of 1990 Lafite Rothschild I pulled from my cellar for a video blog on my web site was still buttoned down, tight, and even with extended decanting was not showing as much as I would have hoped. However, a bottle tasted, of all places, in Seoul, Korea in February, was only a few points short of perfection. That amazing performance m................._

生産者シャトー マルゴーChateau Margauxヴィンテージ1998容量750ml解説パーカーポイント: 91点予想される飲み頃：2006 - 2030The 1998 Margaux's color is a dense ruby/purple. The wine is tannic and austere, but elegant, with notes of asphalt, blackberries, acacia flowers, and sweet, toasty oak. Subtle, rich, nicely-textured, and medium-bodied, it is built for the long haul. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2030.(The Wine Advocate, Apr 23, 2001)
