Mesmerizing cherry notes everywhere with lavishly elegant texture. Drinking amazingly well, but might be better in ten years. — 21 days ago

A great 1982 with the structure to age another ten years . A great vintage for Leoville and this was from a high shoulder fill . — 2 years ago

The 2012 Angélus has a fragrant bouquet: a mixture of red and black fruit, truffle, crushed stone and light wilted flower scents. Very pretty. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation and good acidity, quite sappy with modest depth. Fairly structured with a dash of white pepper and peppermint on the finish. This Angélus has tons of personality and is drinking well now. Tasted twice at Bordeaux Index's Ten Year-On tasting and blind at the Southwold Ten-Year On tasting.

Nice minerals, citrus, opens up over five-ten minutes in the glass, bubbles are not overpowering. — 3 months ago

In absolutely pristine condition, this 1989 Pindefleurs, and remarkably young for its age! Big, bold and tannic even with two hours in the decanter, with fresh aromas of raspberries, cherries, balsamic and chocolate orange. This is in a lovely spot for drinking, but will comfortably age another ten years or so. — 2 years ago

This wine continues to improve with age. A bit sharp and tightly wound when I first tried this vintage nearly ten years ago, the fruit is now nicely blended and mellowed. Dark cherry, raspberry, plum, and ripe strawberry, with some spice on the palate. Medium plus tannins, medium plus alcohol, and high acid. Finally living up to its label. — 3 years ago

With 30 years under his belt working directly alongside Anselme Selosse, finally getting the opportunity to make his own wine, “Ozanne” is made with the same vinification practices as Selosse wines, a barrel fermented and aged solera style blend made from ten vintages with just over half being from the most recent vintage. And it is as Selossien as it gets, simultaneously oxidative and fresh with infinite minerality and intensity of vibrant fruit with a stunningly voluminous and satiny texture. Spectacular Champagne. — 2 years ago

Incredible depth. Plum and black currants, touches of cedar. Showing well with 10 years under its belt. I see it continuing to age well over the next ten. — 3 years ago

Exceptional. Length, power, toasted almond stone fruit brioche lemon curd. Could have passed for ten years younger. — 3 years ago
