Chateau Lynch Bages 2010
$524.99
This wine received near-perfect scores in every wine publication, here's the Robert Parker review: "Still a saturated ruby-black in hue, the 2010 Lynch-Bages offers up aromas of rich cassis fruit mingled with hints of pencil shavings, loamy soil and cigar wrapper. Full-bodied, deep and muscular, it's rich and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit that's framed by firm, powdery tannins and lively acids. The most brooding, backward Lynch-Bages of the decade and one of the real successes of the vintage, this is a vibrant, tightly wound wine that is still an infant at age 10. Readers with bottles in their cellars might try one now out of curiosity, but this 2010 won't begin to hit its stride until age 20" 97 points, Feb 28/2022.
Chateau Prieure Lichine 2020
$94.99
Château Prieuré-Lichine’s history is an amazing mix of different eras and styles. From the Roman origins of the property to its rebirth under the Ballande group, 500 years of historic figures and events at this estate have lent it much respect in the Bordeaux community, thanks in large part to Alexis Lichine, the man who really brought this chateau to the forefront. The 2022 vintage has a deep ruby colour with aromas of cassis, licorice, black cherries, spice and cigar box.. There's lots of dark berry fruit, nougat, taut tannins, minerals, fine salty nuances, and good length. It will continue to improve for another decade or more.
Chateau Cantenac Brown 2020

Château Cantenac Brown is an 1855 classified third growth, located in Cantenac within the most prestigious Médoc appellation, Margaux.

It stands up to the challenge of the 2018 and 2019 vintages, with a pretty dash of supplementary freshness. It's a blend of blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot, a great choice for the cellar.

Chateau Phelan Segur 2020
$114.99
It was not by chance that Bernard O’Phelan (1770-1841), a young Irish wine merchant, left his native town of Tipperary at the end of the 18th century to set himself up in Bordeaux. The town at this time was an important trading hub with the British Isles. Close relations were built up between the families that bought and sold the wines of the region from one another. These links were such that they led to alliances and even marriages, in particular that of Bernard Phélan with one of the daughters of Daniel Guestier, a well-known merchant in the Bordeaux wine market. Helped by the experience of his father-in-law, he could now envisage producing his own wines. At the beginning of the 20th century, Château Ségur de Garramey took on its modern name of Château Phélan Ségur.
G d`Estournel 2020
$67.99
To celebrate the 2020 vintage, Goulée by Cos d’Estournel has been renamed G d’Estournel. In the 2020 vintage, the Merlot from the vineyard in the northern part of Médoc turned out as exceptional as it did at the flagship property of Cos d’Estournel. It saw more extreme weather conditions and less rain than Saint-Estèphe, but the vines being aged 35 years old on average, they were able to compensate thanks to their roots, which forever dig deeper from one year to the next, and the fresh air brought minerality from the nearby Gironde Estuary and ocean. The resulting wine displays a unique profile: the balance and aromatics of a fresh vintage are accompanied by an acidity and a quality of tannins usually observed in warmer vintages. G d’Estournel 2020, carried by the richness of the Merlot, is essentially delectable, and marked by notes reminiscent of salty sea breezes and a black pepper touch that lend it great energy.
