Description
Cuvée Barberini Red – It is a tribute to our ancestors the Barberini Family, produced when the vintage allows it from a special selection from our domaine, well known for its concentration and its opulence. The modern winemaking style, with optimization of the extraction but without excess, gives a powerful wine with silky tannins. Depending on the vintage, a part more or less is aged 16 months in barrels, and then when the blending is made, is going to spend 6 months in tanks for a perfect integration. Impressive wine, with a significant purity and density, can best be served for tasting between 4 and 15 years at least after the vintage year.

Chateau Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Pauillac, 2018
The 2018 Grand-Puy-Lacoste is fabulous, just as it was from barrel. Strong Cabernet inflections soar out of the glass, giving the wine a compelling aromatic profile laced with the essence of graphite, dried herbs, menthol and dark fruit. One of the most classic (for lack of a better word) wines in the Left Bank in 2018, Grand-Puy-Lacoste is super-impressive right out of the gate. Grand-Puy-Lacoste is ultimately a wine of tremendous class that remains restrained and aristocratic in breeding.
Jean-Philippe Janoueix, Château Croix Mouton, Bordeaux Superieur, 2017
Ch. Croix Mouton is a wine that surpasses its appellation, which means that the quality is higher than one would expect. The estate is in hands of Jean-Philippe Janoueix, same owner as Ch. La Confession (St. Emilion) and Ch. La Croix St. Georges (Pomerol). Small returns (46hl/ha), cultivation of the soil, leaf removal, sorting out when harvesting, use of gravity when putting the grapes in the cuvees, elevation on new oak, etc… all those things contribute to top quality for a very reasonable price. Jean-Philippe Janoueix is a very precise person, which reflects in the quality of his wines. Do also read my comments on his newly bought chateau Cap Saint Georges (Saint Georges in St. Emilion), and his other wines mentioned above.
La Dame de L’Hospital, Graves red
The Dame de l'Hospital Graves Rouge from Château de d'Hospital in Bordeaux reveals a dense purple color in the swirled glass. This French cuvée flatters in the glass wonderfully distinguished notes of plums and sour cherries. This is joined by hints of toasted wood.
The Château de d'Hospital Dame de l'Hospital Graves Rouge presents itself pleasantly dry to the wine enthusiast. This red wine never appears coarse or meager, as one might expect from a wine in the high quality wine range. On the tongue, this powerful red wine is characterized by an incredibly silky texture. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Dame de l'Hospital Graves Rouge flatters with a soft mouthfeel without lacking freshness. The final of this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of Bordeaux finally thrills with beautiful reverberation.
