264 Château Pavillon de Poyferré 2006 £75.00
2nd Wine Leoville-Poyferre Pavillon, St-Julien
Second wine Leoville-Poyferre Pavillon, this has all the character & polish of the Grand
Vin but does not require the patience. With an expressive nose of crème de cassis,
liquorice & spring flowers there is a juicy texture & balance only found in top vintages.
232 Chateauneuf du Pape 2012 £75.00
Domaine Roger Perrin, Southern Rhone, France
Ruby/black robe & black fruit, pepper & a hint of vanilla. A very complex nose. The
tannins are very fine & it has a generosity on the mouth that makes it very attractive. A
remarkably long lingering finish with a touch of freshness & an extraordinary balance.
92 Parker Points.
242 Château Potensac 1997 £83.25 Cru Bourgeois, Médoc
Dark glowing crimson. Grunty, very concentrated. Arguably the miracle here is to find
a wine from Jean-Hubert Delon (the makers of Ch. Leoville Las Cases) at around £95.
& one you could actually think of drinking too. This should certainly appeal to
classicists – especially those knowledgeable enough to know it’s related to the most
expensive super second of all, Léoville Las Cases. Jancis Robinson, Sept 2011, 16/20
234 Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru ‘ Clos des Marechaudes Monopole’ 2011 £85.50 Domaine du Pavillon, Albert Bichot, France
Our monopoly Aloxe Corton 1er Cru « Clos des Marechaudes » has a beautiful garnet red
colour. The nose has fruity aromas of blackberry, strawberry & notes of mild spices, tea
& cocoa. With a very supple tannic structure, this well-balanced wine has lovely pleasant
velvety tannins. The finish is long & aromatic, reminiscent of the fruity aromas of the
nose.
235 Château Soutard 2001 £89.55 Grand Cru Classé, Saint Emilion, France
Like so many 2001s, this is soft, ripe & very gratifying. It is deeply mineral with hints of
liquorice, graphite & forest floor. The palate is full of soft, plumy fruit, raisins & minerals.
This is a very easy drinking & charming mid-weight St Emilion. Must be decanted!
239 Chateau Musar Red, Gaston Hochar 2009 £90.00 Bekaa Valley, Lebanon
Chateau Musar occupies a unique place among great wine estates. Located in Lebanon's
Bekaa Valley, one of the ancient world's most important agricultural regions, Musar
produces wines from a blend of known varieties (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carignan,
Grenache & Cinsault) & native grapes (Merwah and Obaideh). Is this the world's most
distinctive red wine?
236 Hermitage Farconnet 2006 £94.50 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave, Northern Rhône, France One of the greatest producers of Hermitage, Jean-Louis Chave has a wine-making
philosophy that harnesses terroir, fruit & tradition to produce wines that show great
purity & complexity. This is a vibrant wine, bursting with juicy red berry & black pepper
characters, but has enough depth & concentration to age well.
237 Château Pavillon Rouge 2008 £145.00 2nd Wine of du Chateau Margaux, France The second wine, the 2008 Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, represents 47% of the
crop (keep in mind that 17% of the total crop was sold off in bulk), & is composed of 68%
Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, & the rest mostly Petit Verdot with a tiny dollop of
Cabernet Franc. It is a beautiful wine exhibiting classic purity along with red & black
fruits intermixed with licorice, tobacco leaf, & floral nuances. Sweet, round tannins, & a
lovely forward freshness suggest this stunning second wine should drink well young…92

RED WINES (Cont.) Bin Bottle 249 Vega Sicilia Valbuena 2008 £180.00
Ribero del Duero, Spain Vega Sicilia is more than a great domaine, it's a living legend!!! A story that started in
1848 and that continues year after year to offer not only excellent wines but sensationnal
wines!!! A 6 year barrel ageing, and the wines ages 3 more years in bottles in order to end
the ageing proccess. If you add to that an impecable vine selection, you can understand
why the result is so delightful...smoothness, complexity and lingering finish. You should
carefully prepare this great tasting moment! 96 Parker Points.
260 Château Lafite-Rothschild 1990
was
£1100.00
1er Cru Classé, Pauillac, France
now
Dark ruby. Lively, fresh & transparent at first with the soaraway refined scent of a
Lafite. Then it took on the typical concentrated rich & velvety character of a fine 1990.
Long & impressive. 96 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
243 Château Pétrus 1995
was
£2040.00
Pomerol, France
now
Unquestionably one of the vintage’s superstar, the Petrus 1995 is taking on a personality
similar to the extraordinarily backward, muscular 1975. This is not a Petrus that could
be approached in its youth (i.e., the perfect duo of 1989 & 1990). The wine exhibits an
opaque ruby/purple colour followed by a knockout nose of toast, jammy black fruits, &
roasted coffee. On the palate, it possesses teeth-staining extract levels, massive body, &
rich, sweet black fruits buttressed by powerful, noticeable tannin. A formidably endowed
wine with layers of extract, this is huge, tannic, monstrous-size Petrus that will last for
50+ years. 95+ Parker Points.
