73Château Bellevue - Vintage 2003
St. Emilion
(Wines Located in New York)
"This 15+ acre estate, situated on a south/southwest-facing slope, has been making sensational wines since 2000, when the management of the vineyard and winemaking were taken over by Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt. The 40-year-old, bio-dynamically farmed vineyard is planted with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. The 2003 possesses superb ripeness as well as a stony, mineral liqueur-like intensity, a reticent but promising perfume of black raspberries, sweet kirsch, and blacker fruits, a full-bodied, powerful, concentrated attack and mid-palate, and a blockbuster, long, powerful, moderately tannic finish. It is an infant..."(93+pts)

82Château Montrose - Vintage 1982
St. Estephe
lbsl (Wines Located in New York)
"The 1982 had a very spiny nose in a pungent and alcoholic way. Aromas of anise and indoor cleaner dominated with some plum, fig and raisin underneath. There was a lot of cedar in the nose as well. The palate was long, sturdy and spiny, possessing lots of vigor, although it was definitely lopsided towards its dusty back end. The wine started to get a little sappier in the glass and come out of its shell, and flavors of green olives emerged. James Suckling found the 1982 'ever changing' and admired its strength and clarity,' adding he could drink it 'all night long."(93+pts JK)

It hits the palate with beautiful finesse, elegance, and sweetness. Medium to full-bodied with loads of black currant and raspberry fruit, substantial but sweet tannin, zesty acidity, and a long finish, this beauty is filled with purity, symmetry, and balance. It should hit its plateau of maturity in 7-8years, and last for three decades."(93pts)

"...exhibits a dark ruby/purple color, more minerality than the 2010 and hints of cedarwood, black currants, underbrush and forest floor. This round, generous blend of 66.5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33.5% Merlot should easily last for two decades or more."(91pts)

"As I noted last year, the Clos de la Chapelle lies right next door to the Clos de la Bousse d'Or in the center of Volnay. At one point it was part of the Clos de la Bousse d'Or, but sometime back in the eighteenth or early nineteenth centuries, the wall that separates it from the Clos de la Bousse d'Or was built, and it was already a separate vineyard by the time Louis Boillot purchased it in 1865. The 2011 is a superb follow-up to the stellar 2010 version, wafting from the glass in a cool and reserved, but quite complex aromatic constellation of red and black cherries, a hint of red currant, gamebird,coffee, woodsmoke excellent soil tones, fresh herbs and cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish and intensely flavored, with a lovely core of fruit, excellent focus and balance, fine-grained tannins and lovely length and grip on the soil-driven and very classy finish. This is a beautiful wine in the making."(92+pts JG)
