Forever deemed the \"least\" of the First Growth, that holds no water if this example is anything to go by, the best of a couple of dozen bottles encountered over many years. Amazingly-fresh on the nose, this shimmers with red fruit, black olive, meat juices and incense, gaining vigour with each swirl of the glass. The palate is perfectly balanced with a lovely line of acidity, focused and refined with just a slightly roasted character towards the finish. Harmonious and effortless, it is the kind of claret that leaves you grinning like a Cheshire cat.\" (09\/2022)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clarets Fine \u0026 Rare Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47830752723258,"sku":"101124719820100750","price":995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/9205\/2026\/files\/Set-Chateau-Haut-Brion-1982_e114213b-2fe7-4764-b8f9-00d13dca4fb5.jpg?v=1782531782"},{"product_id":"chateau-lafite-rothschild-1990","title":"Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1990","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mnmd-review__summary\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points Robert Parker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Interestingly, 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 motivated me to pull another bottle out of my cellar and follow it over the course of two days. Sure enough, by the second day the wine was roaring from the glass. The 1990 Lafite has turned out far better than my early assessment. While it still possesses some firmness, and performs like a late adolescent in terms of its evolution, it boasts gorgeous aromas of cedar, tobacco leaf, cassis, and lead pencil shavings. The explosive aromas are followed by a fleshy, full-bodied wine that should hit its peak in 5-8 years, and last for 25-30 more.” (06\/2009)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Clarets Fine \u0026 Rare Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47830760456506,"sku":"101187219900100750","price":1.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/9205\/2026\/files\/Chateau-Lafite-Rothschild-1990.jpg?v=1723436148"},{"product_id":"chateau-latour-2005","title":"Chateau Latour 2005","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mnmd-review__summary\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98 points Neal Martin – Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The 2005 Latour has long been a formidable wine. I was granted the opportunity to re-taste the 2005 at the property after their estate released library reserves in February 2017. Now at twelve years of age, it has retained that riveting bouquet of black cherries and black plum, crème de cassis and graphite, although I find less of the latter compared to previous bottles (including the one tasted blind just three weeks earlier). The palate is very well balanced with blackberry, black plum, sea salt, a hint of balsamic, quite spicy in the mouth with a hint of cloves. There is immense weight and presence in the mouth, although I wonder whether the tannins are as fine as say the 2010 or even the nascent 2016 Latour tasted alongside?

Full-bodied, broad and sumptuous, with a velvety attack that segues into a deep, fleshy core, it's generous and enveloping, with lively acids and fine, powdery tannins that still deliver a vestige of back-end grip. Today, this is a strong contender for the title of Saint-Julien's wine of the vintage, with Ducru-Beaucaillou and Léoville-Las Cases as its only plausible rivals.” (12\/2022)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Clarets Fine \u0026 Rare Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47830767599930,"sku":"101238719820100750","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/9205\/2026\/files\/Chateau-Leoville-Poyferre-1982.jpg?v=1760747510"},{"product_id":"chateau-lynch-bages-1982","title":"Chateau Lynch-Bages 1982","description":"","brand":"Clarets Fine \u0026 Rare Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47830767960378,"sku":"101257619820100750","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/9205\/2026\/files\/Chateau-Lynch-Bages-1982.jpg?v=1760747545"},{"product_id":"chateau-margaux-2000","title":"Chateau Margaux 2000","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mnmd-review__summary\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e100 points Robert Parker\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Bottled in late November, 2002, the 2000 has turned out to be a colossal example of Chateau Margaux that is tasting even better from bottle than it was from cask. Only 40% of the crop made it into this 2000 Margaux, a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot. Stylistically, it is somewhat of a hybrid between the succulent, opulent, fleshy 1990, and the more delineated, structured, cooler climate-tasting 1996. The 2000 possesses a saturated ruby\/purple color to the rim as well as an extraordinarily promising nose of creme de cassis intermixed with white flowers, licorice, and hints of espresso and toasty oak. There is great intensity, compelling purity, a multi-layered, full-bodied palate, and a finish that goes on for nearly 70+ seconds. Bottled naturally, with no filtration, it is a monumental example of the elegance and power that symbolize this extraordinary vineyard. A tour de force in winemaking, many of my colleagues predicted, far earlier than me, that it would be the \"wine of the vintage.\" It is certainly one of the wines of the vintage, but there is plenty of competition, even at this lofty level of quality.
