für den 2014er Chateau Montrose

This is seriously built. with an admirable core of red and black currant paste and bitter plum fruit inlaid with notes of tobacco. bay and smoldering charcoal. The finish is ramrod straight thanks to an iron girder supporting everything with ease. A tremendous effort for the vintage. Best from 2020 through 2035. From France .—J.M.

Incredible aromas of currants. blackberries. slate and flowers. Full-bodied yet so tight and beautiful with superb polish and brightness. The length is fantastic. Truly superb. Drink in 2021.

 

für den Chateau Montrose 2014 | Neal Martin März 2017:

Tasted twice in Bordeaux in the early part of 2017. the 2014 Montrose replicated its showing at the property as part of the vertical in September 2016. It has that exquisite blackberry. cedar and blood orange scented nose that feels so effervescent even at this early stage. The palate is beautifully balanced with crisp. tensile black fruit. filigree tannin. perhaps in recent months developing a little more spiciness on the finish. It is just a beautiful. regal and complete Montrose that will give decades of drinking pleasure. Tasted February 2017.

Tasted at the château. the 2014 Montrose builds on the promise it showed in barrel with gorgeous blackberry. raspberry. cedar and orange sorbet scents that are extremely pure and refined. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. very precise acidity and layers of crisp black fruit laced with vanilla from the new oak at the moment. That will be subsumed in time. What you have here is a very precise. multi-layered. almost sensual Montrose that is going to delight many for years to come. This is highly recommended—one of the finest Left Bank wines this vintage. Tasted September 2016.

Deep garnet-purple in color. the 2016 Montrose is a little youthfully shy to begin. but with coaxing. it unfurls to reveal the most beguiling scents of wilted roses. oolong tea. crushed rocks. wild sage. star anise and candied violets over a wonderfully pristine. well-defined core of crushed blackcurrants. black raspberries and kirsch plus wafts of pencil lead and wood smoke. The taut. muscular. medium to full-bodied palate straddles jaw-dropping intensity and finesse superbly. featuring a solid backbone of ripe tannins and giving a firm frame right through the incredibly long. exquisitely nuanced finish.

Neal Martin bewertet den Chateau Montrose im Januar 2019 wie folgt:

The 2016 Montrose has a tightly wound bouquet that is extremely well focused. This is one of the most pixelated aromatics I can remember on a Montrose at this stage. featuring blackberry. boysenberry and cedar and real mineralité underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with fine density and wonderful salinity. There is tremendous precision with razor-sharp tannin. and a brightness on the finish that is exceptional. This is a Montrose that will comfortably sit alongside the canon of great vintages from this Saint-Estèphe estate. As my score implies. it’s up there with the first growths. Stunning.
 

James Suckling im Februar 2019:

The floral and fresh aromas to this are mesmerizing. Roses and lilacs galore. The pure cab aromas coming from the glass – blackcurrants and blackberries – are so memorable. Full-bodied. deep and profound. The ultra-fine tannins on the palate are so polished and fine-grained. The finish goes on for minutes with subtle yet superb fruit. It’s all about precision and form here. A modern classic for Montrose. Better after 2026.
 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Montrose im Januar 2019 wie folgt:

The 2016 Montrose is every bit as impressive as it was from barrel. maybe more. Tightly wound and vertical. with remarkable intensity. the 2016 is simply magnificent. The tannins are there. but they are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. All the elements are impeccably balanced in a wine of pedigree. depth and character. The 2016 is going to need a number of years to be at its best. but it is clearly a very special wine in the making. In a word: dazzling.
 

Neal Martin im Oktober 2018

The 2016 Sérilhan has a wonderful. quite high-toned and generous bouquet with ample blackberry and raspberry scents laced with violet and hints of iodine. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip in the mouth. quite symmetrical and focused with impressive precision on the finish. This feels dialed back in terms of power to the benefit of this elegant Saint-Estèphe. Tasted at the Cru Bourgeois tasting in London.

 

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:

The 2016 Calon Ségur is dense and radiant on the palate. just as it was from barrel. Even with all of its intensity. the 2016 is distinguished by its sense of freshness. lift and nuance. much of which comes from the 18% Cabernet Franc in the blend. Sweet floral. spice and minty notes add aromatic intensity to a core of sweet red cherry and plum fruit. There is plenty of underlying structure. but the tannins are sweet. silky and perfectly ripe. In short. the 2016 Calon Ségur is a wine of pure and total sensuality. Technical Director Vincent Millet and his team did a tremendous job with the 2016. Tasted three times.
 

James Suckling Januar 2019:

Superb aromas of crushed berries. violets and sandalwood with hints of cedar and roses. Full body. very fine tannins and savory. delicious fruit. Vibrant acidity combines beautifully with the fruit and structure. Harmonious and attractive. Fine-toned. Try after 202
 

Vinous / Neal Martin Januar 2019:


The 2016 Calon Ségur was matured entirely in new oak for 20 months and bottled at the end of July 2018. This was one of the most impressive wines from the estate when I tasted it from barrel. Now in bottle. it has a gorgeous bouquet of beautifully defined blackberry. bilberry. dark chocolate and graphite aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. perhaps suppler than Cos d’Estournel and more velvety in terms of texture. A dash of cracked black pepper and allspice appears toward the finish. which fans out gloriously. A brilliant wine from François Millet and his team.
 

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:

A gorgeous second wine. the 2016 La Dame de Montrose is incredibly expressive today. Supple. radiant and inviting. La Dame has all the potential to be an overachiever in this vintage. Today. it is quite open. and. even more importantly. flat-out delicious. In some moments. La Dame is rather nuanced. while at other times it is a bit more potent. It will be interesting to see what aging in bottle brings. but one thing is certain; the 2016 La Dame is a stellar wine. Don't miss it.
 

Neal Martin Januar 2019:

The 2016 La Dame de Montrose has a lovely bouquet of blackberry. tobacco. light black truffle notes and a touch of smoke. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grip. quite sturdy for a second wine. and lightly spiced with a sprinkling of white pepper on the surprisingly persistent finish. Excellent.
 

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:

The 2016 La Dame de Montrose is deep garnet-purple colored and gives up cassis. earth. tilled soil. truffles and chocolate-covered cherries on the nose. Medium-bodied. the palate is firm. elegant and restrained with a mineral finish.
 

James Suckling im Februar 2019:

Extremely perfumed and beautiful with bright. violet and plum aromas. Full to medium body. very fine and firm tannins and transparent fruit. Linear and refined with a very long finish. Second wine of Château Montrose. Try in 2022.
 

Lisa Perrotti Brown im November 2018:

Deep garnet-purple in color. the 2016 Phélan Ségur gives elegant red and black currants. kirsch and black berries with violets and chocolate box scents plus a waft of cigars. The palate is medium-bodied. elegant. fine grained and fresh with great vibrancy and mineral notes on the finish.
 

Vinous / Neal Martin Januar 2019:

he 2016 Phélan-Ségur has a refined bouquet of earthy black fruit. black truffle and smoke. perhaps just needing a little more vigor. The palate is medium-bodied. with quite grainy tannin. and a little rigid at the moment. The linear. conservative. pencil-lead-infused finish needs more flesh to develop with bottle age. Not bad. but I think the 2015 is better. It feels as if it doesn’t want to go the extra mile like others in Saint-Estèphe.
 

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:

A very serious St.-Estèphe with excellent concentration. firm tannins and a dark soul. I love the earth. walnut. bark and smoke aromas that pour out of this. Very long. dramatic. dry finish. Better from 2021.

James Suckling im Februar 2019:

An explosion of all manner of black berries with discreet. toasty and smoky oak. makes this a joyful St.-Estèphe. Then the great balance of ripeness. lively acidity and velvety tannins come together beautifully at the elegant finish to make this the best wine from this producer in modern times. Needs two or three years to soften. Try in 2022.


 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Lafon Rochet im Januar 2019 wie folgt:

A sleeper in this vintage. the 2016 Lafon-Rochet is positively stellar. Bright. translucent and super-expressive. the 2016 has so much to offer. Lavender. tobacco. cedar. mint and dried herbs give the 2016 striking aromatic top notes to play off the darker fruit flavors. The 2016 is pure class. Don't miss it.

Antonio Galloni Januar 2019:

The 2016 Meyney is a bold. powerful wine. Tobacco. menthol. chocolate. spice and torrefaction notes all add shades of darkness. Meyney is potent and quite broad in feel. and yet everything is very nicely balanced. Although not especially subtle. Meyney delivers the goods. and then some.

 

Verkostungsbericht vom 03. Februar 2019:

Wild nose. Impressive. deep hue and a wealth of fresh. violet-like aromas. as well as cassis. graphite and dark cherries. The palate has a very sleek. fine. powerful core of tannins that bring a lot of depth and deliver rich dark-fruit flavor. A classic Meyney. Best since 1961! Try from 2023.

Lisa Perrotti Brown am 30.11.2018


The 2016 Cos d'Estournel is blended of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon. 23% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc aged in 65% new and 35% two-year-old French oak for 15 months. Bottled in July 2018. it is deep garnet-purple colored and starts off a little closed and reticent. opening out slowly and seductively to reveal beautiful lilacs. rose hip tea. crushed stones and camphor nuances over a core of crème de cassis. kirsch. wild blueberries and mocha plus wafts of incense and wood smoke. The palate is simply electric. charged with an energy and depth of flavors that seem to defy the elegance and ethereal nature of its medium-bodied weight. featuring super ripe. densely pixelated tannins that firmly frame the myriad of fruit and floral sparks. finishing with epic length. Just. Magic.

“Rains on 13th September helped finish the ripening in 2016." winemaker Dominique Arangoits informed me. “There was a little water stress here on the young vines.” he confessed. “It was very important not to overreact to the wet conditions in June. not to de-leaf too much. We have to be more careful than in the past. It was not a very early vintage. but we had to be careful with the Merlot and not to harvest too late. It was very important to keep the fruit and the energy in the wines. In the end. we didn’t even need to fine the wines—this was only the second vintage for this. We started in 2015. In 2017 we will probably not need to fine either. We have our own bottling line. so we have control.”

Arangoits and his team nailed it in 2016. It is also important to highlight that the transformation at Cos d’Estournel since Michel Reybier purchased the château in 2000 is simply incredible. Reybier’s considerable efforts since then in the vineyards and the winery are remarkable. What he has achieved has not only helped to bring the estate up to its true potential but also instilled a pretty impressive batting record when it comes to consistency of quality. Readers may want to check out my dedicated article on this estate. also published this issue. with a look at vintages 2000-2015.
 

Verkostungsbericht aus Januar 2019:

The 2016 Cos d’Estournel was a bona fide showstopper out of barrel. the best that I had encountered in over 20 years of visiting the estate during en primeur. so my expectations were piled high when I returned to find out how it performs in bottle. Deep. almost opaque in color. it sports a very intense but broody bouquet with fathomless deep black fruit tinged with blueberry and violet. The aromas almost seem to envelop the senses. The palate is medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannin that I have never witnessed in any other vintage of Cos d’Estournel. There is a beguiling symmetry to this Saint-Estèphe. as well as unerring mineralité. The persistent. tobacco-tinged finish can be felt 60 second after the wine has departed. This is a monumental. benchmark Cos d’Estournel that will give not years but decades of pleasure. though I suspect it will close down for a period in its youth. hence my drinking window. 13.07% alcohol.
 

James Suckling im Februar 2019:

This is muscular yet so well defined and toned. Full-bodied with deep and dense fruit on the palate. yet powerful and rich at the same time. So much sandalwood and blackberry character. Chewy and rich at the finish. This is a warm and generous wine. but the alcohol is just over 13 degrees. Not that high. Love the finish. Extravagant. Magical. Try from 2025.


AUSVERKAUFT - gerne können wir uns aber um eine Offerte bemühen, sprechen Sie uns einfach dazu an.

Intensiv und komplex, ausgewogen und weich.

Die Rahmendaten zum Bodegas Muga Reserva 2018 Rioja: Handlese, Gärung mit einheimischen Hefen in Holzbottichen. Reifung für 24 Monate in Fässern aus von uns ausgewählter Eiche. Das Holz stammt zu 80% aus französischer Eiche und zu 20% aus amerikanischer Eiche. Vor der Flaschenabfüllung wird der Wein mit frischem Eiweiß geklärt. Anschließend wird er in unserem Flaschenkeller mindestens 12 Monate lang verfeinert, bevor er zum Verkauf freigegeben wird. Und weil Muga in 2018 auf die Produktion des Aro, des Torre Muga und auch des Prado Enea verzichtete, flossen die gewöhnlich für diese Spitzenweine der Bodegas reservierten Trauben in diesem Jahr in den Reserva.

 

James Suckling bewertet die Muga Reserva 2018 im Februar 2022 so:

This was the only red that Muga made in 2018, and the wines from the best vineyards went into the blend. In other words, top vineyards were declassified. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins that are caressing and refined. Plenty of subtle berries, chocolate and walnuts. Tempranillo with garnacha, mazuelo and graciano. January 2021 release. Drink or hold.nk now.
 

Alison Napjus schreibt für den Wine Spectator (Oktober 2022):

A harmonious red, medium-bodied and lightly juicy, layering light, creamy tannins with a pretty range of black cherry reduction, mocha, pomegranate puree and eucalyptus notes. Fresh, focused finish. Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano. Drink now through 2028. 80,000 cases made.
 

Und für den Falstaff bewertet von Benjamin Herzog und Dominik Vombach (September 2022):

Elegantes Bouquet mit Noten von konfierten und frischen Brombeeren, Dörrzwetschge und eingelegter Kirsche. Anklänge von Schuhcreme, Süssholz, dunkler Schokolade, Lorbeer und Piment. Am Gaumen schöne tragende Säure, kernige Kirschfrucht und Dörrzwetschge sowie zitrische Nuancen. Feinkörniges, reifes Tannin, langer Abgang.

Der Sette Ponti Crognolo seit vielen Jahren eine unglaubliche Sensation in der Toskana. Er steht mit einem dunklen satten Kern im Glas obwohl er in den letzten Jahren immer mehr Sangioves enthällt in der Cuvee. Für den Crognolo werden 90% Sangiovese und mehr verwendet und etwas Merlot vermählt. Waren es noch vor Jahren deutlich höhere Anteile von Cabernet und Merlot in der Blend für den Crognolo, setzt man heute bei Sette Ponti immer mehr auf Eigenständigkeit der Rebsorten. Mittelfristig wird der Crognolo von Sette Ponti dann wohl aus 100% Sangiovese bestehen. Bis dahin geniessen wir aber den famosen 2019er Crogonolo und freuen uns gemeinsam mit Ihnen, dass die Toskana noch immer solche Weine um die 20€ hervorbringt.

 

James Suckling bewertet den Crognolo 2019 Toscana Rosso am 04.08.2021 wie folgt:

Sweet berries, flowers and cedar on the nose. Some leather, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with lightly chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Shows tension and brightness. Excellent structure. Drinkable now, but better in 2023.

 

Othmar Kiem und Simon Staffler notieren anlässlich des Toscana Centrale 2022 Tastings (18.02.2022):

Dunkelleuchtendes Rubinrot. In der Nase Anklänge von eingelegten Kirschen, zarte Pfefferwürze, im Nachhall nach Waldbeeren, zeigt feine Nuancen von mediterranen Kräutern und Minze. Am Gaumen mit feiner Saftigkeit und kerniger Frucht, zeigt sich lebendig, sanfter Nachdruck im Finale.

Weingut
Keine Frage, dass es für den erfolgreichen Geschäftsmann. Dr. Antonio Moretti. mit der Übernahme des Weinguts seines Vaters in der Toskana nur ein „Ganz oder Gar nicht“ gab. Ein internationales Expertenteam sollte die wunderschöne Tenuta auf höchstes Niveau bringen. Wobei die Qualität immer an erster Stelle stand – ohne Rücksicht auf Kosten und alte Gepflogenheiten. Die Bemühungen haben sich mehr als gelohnt. Tenuta Sette Ponti erhält heute weltweit beste Auszeichnungen. Vor allem die beiden im Barrique ausgebauten Weine begeistern mit ihrem Volumen und ihrer Finesse: Der Sangiovese dominierte Crognolo verströmt einen reichhaltigen und charmanten Duft von dunklen Beeren und hat einen intensiven Nachklang. Und Oreno? Dieser herrliche Wein gehört mit seinem tiefen Bouquet, der kompakten Struktur aus würzigen Aromen, dem komplexen Geschmack und nicht zuletzt dem langen Finale völlig zu Recht zu den allerersten Rotweingewächsen in der Toskana!
 

Schöne dunkle Farbe mit violetten Reflexen, die Nase ist fein, geprägt von reifen Früchten, schwarzbeerig. Der Holzeinsatz ist sehr gut integriert und wirkt stützend. Die Tannine sind saftig und zugänglich der Chateau de Haute-Serre besitzt feine Finesse und Harmonie. Er wird mit etwas Flaschenreife gut zulegen und ohne Probleme die nächsten 6-8 Jahre Trinkfreude bereiten.

Der JG 2019 des Saint Cosme 2019 ist noch nicht bewertet.
2019 darf aber durchaus als ein JG mit sehr grossem Potenzial an der Südlichen Rhone angesehen werden.

Joe Czerwinski im November 2020 über den JG 2018:

Mainly Grenache, with smaller portions of Mourvèdre and Syrah, the 2018 Cotes du Rhone Les Deux Albions matured in wooden and concrete vats. Black cherries and blueberries mark the nose, picking up hints of garrigue and black olives along the way. Medium to full-bodied, plush and expansive, it turns almost velvety on the finish. It's another terrific bargain from Barruol.

 

Stephan Reinhardt vom Wineadvocate:

"After 2018, 2019 is another qualitatively great vintage for Huet, even though the series includes only four wines. If you are a collector, you shouldn't miss the 2019s, but hurry up, quantities are much less generous than in 2018."


Verkostungsnotiz von Stephan Reinhardt für den Domaine Huet Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec 2019 vom 23.07.2020

The deep brown clay soils of the Haut-Lieu plateau provide the typical fruitiness and freshness wonderfully in Huet's 2019 Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec. Ripe pear, tangerine and orange fruits with notes of lemon grass and green pimientos intertwined with very fine chalky and later tobacco notes give a remarkably fine, elegant and harmonious, subtly complex and simply gorgeous bouquet with floral (lime blossom!) and yeasty aromas that are immediately attractive. Delicate and linear on the palate, this is a pure, fresh, bone-dry, lean and textured, highly refined and perfectly interwoven Chenin with persistent purity, finesse, salty-mineral tension and very fine tannins. Highly finessed and so pure and vivacious! This is a chalky picture-book Haut-Lieu that can age for many years, even though it is already dangerously seductive! There was no dry Le Haut-Lieu produced in 2018, but the 2019 is possibly the finest, most delicate and elegant I've had in recent years, at least at this early stage. A terrific and buoyant Vouvray that any Chenin lover should try—or, better yet, cellar! 13% alcohol. 80.000 bottles made. Tasted in July 2020.
 

An extremely well made wine: rich, intense and subtle, with a great combination of fruit and spice. Very dark red with purplish red nuances and a nose of red fruit, spice, and vanilla. Very rich on the palate with hints of candied morello cherry and sweet spice underpinned by powerful tannin and elegant, understated oak.

Winemaker Georges Vigouroux



 

Im Weingut Le Macchiole gibt es so manche Sensation: ob der reine Cabernet Franc Paleo. den Kult-Merlot Messorio oder den sortenreinen Syrah Scrio. All diese Weine gehören zum besten Ihrer Art kosten aber leider auch den ein oder anderen Euro. Der Toskanafan freut sich über den Bolgheri Rosso von Le Macchiole denn der vereint von allem etwas. So auch der Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso 2019. Er wird aus den Rebsorten Merlot, Cabernet und Syrah gekeltert und stimmt alles: die satte Frucht und die super reifen Tannine machen grosse Trinkfreude. doch der Bolgheri Rosso 2019 von Le Macchiole ist immer noch frisch und mit der nötigen Finesse ausgestattet, er hat einfach alles was ein Wein in dieser Klasse braucht und mehr.


James Suckling beschreibt den Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso 2019 am Juli 2021 wie folgt:

Attractive perfumes of currants, berries, incense and flowers follow through to a medium body with firm, silky tannins and a bright finish. Some smoke and dark-earth undertones. A little tight at the end, but delicious already. Drink or hold.

 

Monica Larner beschreibt den Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso 2019 am 07. Oktober 2021 wie folgt:
Released to much fanfare amidst growing popularity for this entry-level appellation on the Tuscan coast, the Le Macchiole 2019 Bolgheri Rosso is a beautiful specimen, thanks to its honest simplicity and its charming approach. The wine reveals good fruit complexity with blue and purple berries contrasted against toasted spice and baked earth. But if anything truly stands out here, it is the expert integration and generally seamlessness of the wine's various moving parts. This is a terrific wine to uncork for a fun family meal with pasta and grilled meats around the kitchen table.

 

Antonio Galloni beschreibt den Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso 2019 im April 2021:

Le Macchiole's 2019 Bolgheri Rosso is bright, effusive and so alluring. Sweet floral and spice notes meld into a core of red/purplish berry fruit as this silky, mid-weight red shows off its undeniable charm. The interplay of Bolgheri radiance with the approach at Le Macchiole today, that seeks greater energy in the wines than in the past, is so incredibly appealing.
 

James Suckling über den Chateau Pindefleurs 2019 Saint Emilion:

13 Jan, 2022 – This shows beautiful density and focus. Medium-to full-bodied palate with a solid core of fruit and a walnut, spice and sweet-tobacco aftertaste to the plums and cherries. Subtle and nicely structured. Drink after 2025.

 

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Pindefleurs 2019 Saint Emilion:

The 2019 Pindefleurs is plump, juicy and easygoing, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Succulent dark cherry, plum, spice, tobacco and leather are nicely pushed forward. Soft, polished tannins and bright acids on the finish round things out nicely.

 

Und Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Pindefleurs 2019 Saint Emilion:

The 2019 Pindefleurs is what you might call a "useful" Saint-Émilion. It has a well-defined, expressive nose of vivacious red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, full of joie-de-vivre. The palate is medium-bodied and quite sweet, with fleshy ripe tannins and flavors of raspberry, black currant and white pepper. The slightly spicy finish demonstrates admirable structure.
 

l'Art de Maison Neuve 2018 Montagne Saint-Emilion. Noch nie gehört? Tja. wir aber! Dahinter steckt das Winzergenie Michel Coudroy. der auch für die unfassbaren Qualitäten von Haut-Tropchaud verantwortlich ist. Wie auch bei diesem Projekt gilt hier: ein höchstmaß an Qualität zum erstaunlich fairen Preis. Wie das kommt? Nun ja. da Sie vermutlich noch nie von l'Art de Maison Neuve 2018 Montagne Saint-Emilion gehört haben. erscheint es nur logisch. dass man auf Marketing. Bemusterungen etc. keinen zu großen Wert legt und lieber die Qualität für sich sprechen lässt - darum sagen wir: unbedingt probieren!
