Deep garnet-purple colored. the 2018 de Fieuzal rocks up with gregarious scents of baked plums. stewed cherries and dried mulberries plus suggestions of Chinese five spice. unsmoked cigars and sauteed herbs. The rich. full-bodied palate has loads of exotic spice and raisin cake layers with a firm. chewy frame. finishing just a little hard.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau de Fieuzal rouge 2018 Pessac Leognan wie folgt:

The 2018 Fieuzal is fruity and quite powerful. I am not sure the heavily extracted style is ideal. as the wine has a level of tannic clout that is perhaps too much for its medium-bodied frame. Nonetheless. the 2018 is quite expressive. Red plum. white pepper. mint and chalk add brightness to the deep. layered fruit. und vergibt ihm 88-91 Punkte.

CB Weinhandel bewertet den Chateau de Fieuzal rouge 2018 Pessac Leognan wie folgt:
mittlere Dichte. schöne Intensität der Aromen in der Nase. viel dunkle reife Frucht. kleine schwarze Beeren. Am Gaumen. schöne Eingangssüsse. Schokolade im klaren fruchtgetragenen Finale.

The 2018 La Garde is a powerhouse. Dark stone fruit. leather. spice and scorched earth notes give La Garde its distinctly brooding. savory personality. Rich and deep on the palate. this super-expressive Pessac Léognan has so much to offer.

The 2018 Pape Clement is dense. powerful. and brooding. In most vintages. Pape Clement is much more showy and inviting. but the 2018 is in no mood to show all of its cards. Instead. we find a Pape Clement that explodes with vertical intensity and lift. Captivating scents of gravel. smoke. leather. tobacco. chocolate and incense add layers of complexity. I can't wait to see how the 2018 ages. Today. it is super expressive. The blend is 66% Cabernet Sauvignon. 30% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. New oak is 45%. Tasted four times.

Lisa Perrotti Brown bewertet den La Parde de Haut Bailly 2018 Pessac Leognan wie folgt:

Antonio Galloni bewertet den La Parde de Haut Bailly 2018 Pessac Leognan wie folgt:

The 2018 Haut-Bailly II is the newest incarnation of Le Parde de Haut Bailly. The wine is the same. only the name has changed. which the château did to link the wine more closely to the property and also eliminate ambiguity in a name that created confusion in the market. Deep. racy and beautifully layered in the glass. the Haut-Bailly II is a gorgeous wine in its peer group. Crushed flowers. mint. sweet tobacco. cedar and licorice all give the II lovely aromatic complexity to play off the resonant fruit. Medium in body and gracious. the II has a vertical feel that is impossible to miss. The blend is 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon.

James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Haut Bailly 2018 Pessac Leognan wie folgt:

Incredible depth of fruit to this with a center palate that shows superb character and texture. I love the hazelnut and coffee-bean undertones to the beautiful fruit. which shows great finesse.

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Haut Bailly 2018 Pessac Leognan wie folgt:

The 2018 Haut-Bailly speaks with real authority and class. Deeply spiced notes lead into a core of red/purplish berry fruit. lavender. licorice. new leather. menthol and tobacco. Vivid and dramatic in bearing. the 2018 possesses striking resonance from start to finish. There is plenty of tannin as well. but it is pretty much buried by the sheer luxuriousness of the fruit. while the mid-palate and saline-infused finish show terrific freshness as well as purity. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon. 35% Merlot. 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.

OctoberDunkle reife Frucht. das Tannin ist sehr kompakt und stoffig. noch nie soll ein Haut Bailly diese Konzentration aufgewiesen haben. Tolles langes Finale. gepaart mit dieser vibrierenden Frische. Noch fehlt es etwas an Aromentiefe zum 2016er Haut Bailly. aber hier sind ja auch noch nicht alle Register gezogen. der Ausbau wird diesem Strukturwunder mit Sicherheit gut tun. 96-97+

The 2018 Les Carmes Haut-Brion is one of the wines in this vintage that comes very close to its 2016 sibling. A wine of dazzling intensity and stature. Les Carmes Haut-Brion is simply magnificent. Rose petal. wild black cherry. sage. menthol. licorice and dried herbs add myriad shades of complexity to this explosive. dense wine. As always. Les Carmes is done with a fair amount of whole clusters. 40% in this case. but in 2018. the maturity is such that the stems are very well integrated into the wine's fabric.

A tight and linear red with fantastic oyster-shell. iodine and crushed-stone character. complementing the currants and blackberries. Extremely long and fresh.



Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau La Mission Haut Brion 2018 rouge Pessac Loegnan wie folgt:

The 2018 La Mission Haut-Brion is bright and punchy. with lovely radiant fruit and a good deal of immediacy. Sweet red and purplish berry fruit. mint. tobacco. blood orange and wild flowers all grace this expressive. open-knit La Mission. It will be interesting to see what develops with elevage. Today.
