James Suckling bewertet den Chateau d Armailhac 2018 Paulliac wie folgt:

A soft and generous red with plum. tobacco and currant character and a delicious. full body and brightness. Juicy. Attractive. earthy aftertaste. Layered and dense.








James Mothels bewertet den Chateau d Armailhac 2018 Paulliac wie folgt:

Lively cassis and blackberry notes are liberally laced with briar. tobacco and smoky details. Reveals a serious chalky underpinning on the finish. A bit backward. but all the elements are here.







Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau d Armailhac 2018 Paulliac wie folgt:

The 2018 D'Armailhac (14.5% alcohol) is composed of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon. 30% Merlot. 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. harvested September 12 to October 3. Deep garnet-purple colored. it reveals a very fruity nose of crushed blackberries. warm black cherries and mulberries plus hints of potpourri. spice cake and pencil shavings. Full-bodied. the decadent palate delivers loads of black berry layers and a firm. grainy frame with underlying freshness and an earthy finish. Wonderfully opulent D’Armailhac!






Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau d Armailhac 2018 Paulliac wie folgt:

The 2018 d'Armailhac is lifted. floral and nicely focused. although a touch closed today. Bright red cherry and floral notes add nuance throughout. Medium in body and fresh. the 2018 has quite a bit of aromatic depth from the Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. which helps hide the 14.5% alcohol nicely. Yields were just 32 hectoliters per hectare as opposed to 42-46. which is the norm. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon. 30% Merlot. 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Tasted two times.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The grand vin represents 50% of the crop this year. The 2018 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is made up of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon. 23% Merlot. 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot with a pH of 3.85. an IPT (total polyphenol index) of 87 and 14% alcohol. Very deep purple-black colored. it is like hitting a brick wall to begin. needing considerable coaxing to start to reveal notes of crushed black cherries. warm blackberries. ripe blackcurrants and chocolate cake with nuances of violets. rose hip tea. charcuterie. tapenade and incense with wafts of new leather and iron ore. Full-bodied. concentrated and completely laden with tightly wound black fruit and savory layers. the palate gives a rock-solid backbone of firm. super ripe. super fine-grained tannins and soft background freshness. finishing very long with a veritable display of mineral fireworks.




Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande is powerful. dense and explosive. with a real sense of vertical lift that conveys energy. Grilled herbs. lavender. inky blue/purplish fruit and spice notes develop in the glass. but it is the wine's balance. purity of tannin and finish that stand out most. In 2018. so many wines lean towards extreme versions of themselves. but Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande remains very much within its classic parameters. The 2018 doesn't quite offer the visceral thrill of the very best recent vintages. but it comes very close. At its purest essence. the 2018 is very Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande. The en primeur sample is shown from 100% new oak. although the wine will have about 60% new wood. Tasted four times.




James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

This one nails it in 2018. with saturated. almost sappy kirsch. plum and blackberry preserve flavors at the core. inlaid with sweet tobacco. singed vanilla. worn cedar and fresh earth notes. A bolt of graphite provides support. Concentrated. long and very complete. One of the high water marks of the vintage.







James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

A deep and intense young red with blackberries and blueberries. as well as green olives and hints of fresh tobacco. But really black fruit. Full-bodied. tight and integrated with a refreshing and harmonious finish. Just floating on the palate. Great tannin backbone to this. A classic. Another flying carpet.







CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:
Cuvee: 71 Cabernet Sauvignon / 23 Merlot / 5 Cabernet Franc / 1 Petit Verdot Volles kompaktes Zentrum. hohe Konzentration. (Kommt dennoch nicht ganz an Lynch Bages ran). Die Nase ist ebenfalls kraftvoll und reif. viel Cassis und dunkle Beeren. etwas Schokolade im Finale. Sehr kompaktes und reifes Tannin. bleibt lang und baut sich sehr gut auf. und vergibt ihm 95-97 Punkte.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

Deep and dark young wine that takes you down. deep down to its center palate of blackberries and blueberries. firm and very silky tannins and a vivid finish. Wonderful palate and depth in this with such class and finesse. So many layers of polished. fine tannins. Great wine.







James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

Warm. dense and fleshy in feel. featuring cassis. plum and cherry compote flavors infused with tobacco and worn cedar details. Seriously long. with a well-buried iron note. though the purity of the fruit is the dominating feature overall. This cuts a pretty broad swath as it moves along. A big wine.







Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Pichon-Longueville Baron is made up of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. The Merlot was harvested September 24-25. and the Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested October 3-10. The wine is to be aged 18 months in barriques. 80% new and 20% one year old. and production represents 50% of the harvest this year. Very deep purple-black colored. it begins a little coy. rolling slowly and languidly out of the glass with notions of baked raspberries. blueberry coulis. crème de cassis and incense plus nuances of lilacs. truffles. damp soil and garrigue with wafts of lavender and wild sage. Full-bodied. voluptuous and oh-so-seductive. the palate reveals layer upon layer of savory. earthy and black fruit preserves. framed by wonderfully ripe. velvety tannins and lovely freshness. finishing very long and perfumed. Beautiful.




Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

Pichon Baron is exceptional in 2018. Pliant. silky and super-finessed. the 2018 has a level of textural finesse that really elevates the wine into Pauillac's upper echelon. Ripe fruit and silky tannins give the 2018 much of its inimitable finesse. At the same time. the 2018 is bright. punchy and surprisingly fresh. not to mention absolutely impeccable in its balance. The blend is 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. while new oak is 80%.






CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Pichon Longueville Baron 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:
Cuvee: 78 Cabernet Sauvignon / 22 Merlot Mittlere bis volle Dichte. schöne klare Nase. viel reife Frucht. zarte Röstnoten. Am Gaumen frisch und erstaunlich elegant. super poliertes Tannin. Auch im Mund eine schöne Länge. und vergibt ihm 95-97 Punkte.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Lynch Bages 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

This is incredibly powerful and structured with so much tannin backbone and length. yet it’s cool and fresh with a compact palate and great length. Muscular.








James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Lynch Bages 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

Dark cassis. plum and cherry fruit flavors stream through in this red. harnessed well by bolts of iron along the way. Sweet tobacco detail echoes through the finish. which is seriously long. An extremely rock-solid wine in the making here.







Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Lynch Bages 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Lynch Bages is made up of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon. 19% Merlot. 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot aging in 75% new barriques. Very deep purple-black in color. the nose is quite coy and restrained to begin. fanning out to offer pure. ripe blackcurrants. black cherries and preserved plums with wafts of red roses. cigar box. incense. cardamom and fenugreek with savory touches of black olives. Marmite toast and smoked meats. Full-bodied. the palate is built like a brick house. with a solid foundation of very firm. very ripe. grainy tannins and superb freshness supporting the generous black fruit layers. finishing long with provocative ferrous suggestions.





Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Lynch Bages 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Lynch-Bages is a potent. racy wine endowed with real textural depth and intensity. Even so. it retains terrific nuance and vibrancy. All the classic Lynch-Bages signatures are present. but amped up. with huge tannins and equally huge fruit. The 2018 is going to need at least a few years to shed some of its baby fat. Today. it is decidedly rich and unctuous in style. Rose petal. lavender. mint and sweet spice add striking layers of aromatic nuance. The blend is 72% Cabernet Sauvignon. 19% Merlot. 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.





CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Lynch Bages 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:
Cuvee: 72 Cabernet Sauvignon / 19 Merlot / 6 Cabernet Franc / 3 Petit Verdot Der Ausbau wird über 18 Monate in 75% neuem Holz erfolgen. sehr dichter Kern. ungemein tiefer Geruch. kompakt und komplex zugleich. dunkle Frucht. Schokolade. Cassis. Im Mund kraftvoll. dicht gewoben. sehr massives Tanningerüst. dennoch genügend Frische zeigend. Der Nachhall ist ebenfalls sehr sehr lang. Das wird viele Jahre Reife benötigen und über viele viele Jahre strahlen. und vergibt ihm 96-99 Punkte.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

I am a little bit speechless about this one. I have not seen such earthy and totally deep character of the soil in a young Mouton in my career. Of course. I didn’t taste 1945 or 1959 when they were young. but I have been lucky enough to have a few bottles in my life. There is really terroir-driven character to this. Layered and so intense with polished and incredible tannins.


James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

Very gutsy in feel. with lots of tobacco leaf. loam and espresso notes swirling around a core of steeped black currant and warm fig fruit flavors. The muscular finish is a jumble right now. but there's ample acidity coiled within. A wine that clearly wants to stand out from the pack.


Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Mouton Rothschild is dense and unctuous in the glass. with striking textural depth and plenty of overall intensity. Super-ripe dark cherry. plum. spice. leather and sweet spice infuse a Mouton that stands out for its unctuousness and fruit intensity. There is plenty of tannin. but it is nearly buried by the sheer voluptuousness of the fruit. In 2018. Mouton is radiant. sensual and impeccable in its balance. even if it doesn't possess the sheer visceral thrill. energy or pedigree of truly great vintages. The blend is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon. 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Mouton Rothschild is composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon. 12% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc—there is also a splash of all the Petit Verdot they had. but it doesn’t even register in the percentage. Grapes were harvested September 10 to October 3. and the wine was blended at the beginning of December; it has 13.8% alcohol. and the tannins were slightly higher this year. Deep purple-black in color. it is a little closed to begin compared to some 2018s. slowly unfurling to reveal a profound nose of warm black plums. blackcurrant cordial. star anise. blueberry pie and mocha with suggestions of candied violets. oolong tea. camphor and unsmoked cigars plus a touch of crushed rocks. Medium to full-bodied. the palate delivers waves of opulent. spiced black and blue fruits with seamless acid lifting this gorgeous mouthfeel that is at once plush from the ripe fruit and firm and grainy from the super ripe tannins. finishing very long and wonderfully creamy. und vergibt ihm 97-99+ Punkte.

CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:
Cuvee: 86 Cabernet Sauvignon / 12 Merlot / 2 Cabernet Franc Erntezeitpunkt: zwischen 10. September und 03. October Der Kern ist mittel bis dicht. Die Nase ist sehr definiert und klar. fein aufgereicht die Klaviatur der dunklen und schwarzen Beeren. hin und wieder kommt mal eine Himbeere durch. Das Holz ist in der Nase kaum wahrnehmbar. auch beim Erstwein ist eine kühle wahrzunehmen. Im Mund ganz sanft und fruchtig im Auftakt. direkt bahnt sich die Säure ihren Weg. macht den Gaumen superfrisch. Perfekt poliertes Tannin. sehr langer Nachhall. ein Mouton der eher die Eleganz ausspielt als das Powerhouse sein zu wollen. und vergibt ihm 96-99 Punkte.

James Suckling bewertet den Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

This is phenomenal with such dense and layered tannins that go on for minutes. It’s full-bodied with blackberries. blueberries and chocolate. Sexy and so beautiful. Not sure what to say here. Maybe it should have gone into the first wine?







James Mothels bewertet den Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

Fresh and pure. with a mouthwatering edge to the cassis and bitter plum flavors that form the core. A bright iron streak defines the finish. Very focused.








Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Le Petit Mouton is blended of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon. 40% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. harvested September 10 to October 3. It represents about 26% of the total crop and has 14% alcohol—the alcohol has never been this high! Deep garnet-purple. it comes bounding out of the glass with sit-up-and-beg notes of crème de cassis. plum preserves and mulberries plus nuances of chocolate box. Chinese five spice. licorice and candied violets. Full-bodied. rich and oh-so-hedonic. the palate is packed with juicy black fruit layers wrapped in a firm. velvety structure. with loads of fragrant spice layers on the very long finish.





Antonio Galloni bewertet den Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Le Petit-Mouton is unusual in that it contains a high (40%) amount of Merlot. Pliant. racy and supple. the Petit-Mouton should drink well with minimal cellaring. In many vintages. Petit-Mouton is a smaller-scaled version of the Grand Vin. but in 2018. the elevated presence of Merlot yields a wine that is quite different in style. with softer contours and a much gentler overall feel than is often the case. The blend is 56% Cabernet Sauvignon. 40% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Yields were about 28 hectoliters per hectare as opposed to 34-37.





CB Weinhandel bewertet den Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:
Cuvee: 56 Cabernet Sauvignon / 40 Merlot / 4 Cabernet Franc Erntezeitpunkt: zwischen 10. September und 03. October Mittlere Dichte. die Nase ist bereits ein schritt rauf im Vergleich zu Armailhac und Clerc Milon. der Geruch ist einfach tiefgründiger. mit reifer Frucht. Cassis. Waldbeeren. aber auch einer kühlen und zart rauchigen Note. etwas Tabak. Am Gaumen fleischig mit sehr schöner Rückkehr der Aromen. feines poliertes Tannin. Bleibt schon mit toller Länge im Finale. und vergibt ihm 92-94 Punkte.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

A very compact and linear Lafite with a fantastic mouthfeel of intense but ever so refined tannins that draw a straight line through the middle of the wine. It’s full-bodied yet compact with complex character of plums. blackcurrants. cigar tobacco. cedar and hints of hazelnuts and coffee. Salty. Orange zest at the end. Delicacy with power. Richness with softness. Glamorous. Lasts for minutes at the finish.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:

The 2018 Lafite-Rothschild is creamy. sensual and inviting. with lovely purity of fruit and impeccable balance. Dark cherry. plum. licorice and spice are some of the many nuances that develop. Time in the glass brings out striking aromatic depth and overall persistence. Although an undeniably attractive wine. the 2018 does not appear to have the sheer pedigree of the very best wines in this vintage. None of the three samples I tasted were as impressive as I had hoped for. Perhaps I had bad luck. Time will tell. The blend is 91% Cabernet Sauvignon. 8.5% Merlot and 0.5% Petit Verdot. und vergibt ihm 93-96 Punkte.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:
The 2018 Lafite Rothschild is blended of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon. 8.5% Merlot and 0.5% Petit Verdot and has 13.3% alcohol. The Merlot was harvested September 17-24. the Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested September 25 to October 5. and the Cabernet Franc was harvested on September 24. It has a deep purple-black color and then WOW—what a nose. It comes sashaying out of the glass with bags of grace and perfume. revealing notions of lilacs. red roses. fragrant soil. cinnamon stick and Morello cherries with a core of blackcurrant cordial. fresh black plums. redcurrant jelly and tapenade plus a waft of iron ore. Medium-bodied. the palate has wonderful. tightly wound layers of black. red and blue fruits intermingled with floral. earth and mineral notions and a rock-solid frame of the most finely pixelated tannins you can possibly imagine. Anyone who wants to see what I mean when I babble about the Lafite tannins needs to try this benchmark. The finish goes on. and on. and on. If this wine doesn’t get Bordeaux lovers hearts' racing. nothing will.

CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau Lafite Rothschild 2018 Pauillac wie folgt:
Mittlere bis volle Dichte im Kern. noch minimal transparent. seit vielen Jahren aber ganz klar eine der höchsten Konzentrationen. Die Nase ist ebenfalls sehr definiert. nahezu perfekt abgestimmt. mit nicht zu viel spürbarem Holz. Viel Cassis. etwas Graphit. zarte Anklänge von Bitterschokolade. am Gaumen sehr saftig. dicht. mit toller klarer Rückkehr der Frucht. Da schieben immer wieder neue Ladungen über den Gaumen. und vergibt ihm 97-100 Punkte.
