Chateau Leoville Las Cases,
Drink now,
Personifying St Julien in such a lovely way. Mature but with seductive grip this is a classic Claret lovers treat. Lovely leather and earth aromas of Cabernet dominate the palate and nose of this very classy reasonably priced Super Second growth. Needs an hour and half in a decanter and served at old fashioned room temperature 17 c. Lovely.
Chateau Mouton Rothschild,
Drink now,
"The 1994 appears to be the finest Mouton-Rothschild made following the 1986 and before the 1995's conception. The wine exhibits a dense, saturated purple color, followed by a classic Mouton nose of sweet black fruits intermingled with smoke, pain grillee, spice, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, with outstanding concentration, a layered feel, plenty of tannin, and rich, concentrated fruit, this wine is similar to the fine 1988. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025. Although Mouton-Rothschild can be among the most inconsistent first-growths, when this estate gets everything right, the wine can be as compelling as any produced in Bordeaux". (Robert Parker)
Chateau Latour,
Drink now,
An unusually high percentage of Merlot in the blend makes this a softer, more approachable Latour. It is nonetheless a powerful, intense wine that will need another 3 years before it is ready, but it will be worth the wait. You can already detect a fabulous purity of fruit and textbook cigar box and cassis; high tannins without astringency and a remarkable llength. If you can resist , it will keep until 2030.
