Two of the big-guns from\u00a0Saint-Julien are out.\u00a0DUCRU BEAUCAILLOU<\/a>\u00a0is at\u00a0\u00a3852 per 6 bottles IB<\/strong>. Neal Martin scored this a very impressive 96-98\/100.\u00a0Galloni rated it 94-97\/100 and called it ‘simply magnificent<\/em>‘, and ‘one of the highlights of the vintage<\/em>‘. We found it had lovely\u00a0even-toned harmonious fruit, beautifully pitched tannin, and remarkable concentration. As Jane Anson says, this is ‘an\u00a0utterly beautiful wine<\/em>.’ If you want one of the best wines of the vintage, without having to buy a first-growth, then this is the one.<\/p>\n

L\u00c9OVILLE POYFERR\u00c9<\/a>\u00a0\"L&S\"\u00a0is out at\u00a0\u00a3399 per 6 bottles IB<\/strong>. This was also extremely very well received by the critics. Galloni scored it at 94-97\/100, Molesworth 95-98\/100 and Jancis 18\/20. Neal Martin rated it\u00a095-97\/100 and described how it was ‘perhaps one of the most harmonious Poyferr\u00e9<\/em>‘\u00a0that he had encountered en primeur<\/em>.\u00a0<\/em>He added, ‘it just glides across the mouth and slips down the throat with consummate ease. Superb<\/em>.’ We found it\u00a0cool and opulent with masses of fine, dry flavour-filled tannins. This is a\u00a0Poyferr\u00e9 with enormous potential and, when you consider it’s only \u00a350 more than L\u00e9oville Barton, it looks like a very strong buy.<\/p>\n

From Pessac comes\u00a0LES CARMES HAUT BRION<\/a>\u00a0\"L&S\", out\u00a0at\u00a0\u00a3345 per 6 bottles IB<\/strong>.\u00a0It’s not just the architecture that has been turning heads\u00a0at this estate. These wines\u00a0are fast becoming masterpieces in their own right.\u00a0Everything about the 2016 is in perfect proportion.\u00a0It shows ample force and density but there is also balletic floral lift, astonishing detail, and effortless\u00a0power.\u00a0Neal Martin was as impressed as we were. He scored this 95-97\/100 and flatteringly described it as ‘not a million miles away from Lafleur<\/em>.’\u00a0Jane Anson rated it 95\/100 and simply said this, ‘I love it, what a stunning wine<\/em>.’\u00a0Sadly this is only available in micro-volumes but do place orders and we will see what we can do.<\/p>\n

It’s the same story for\u00a0CLINET<\/a>\u00a0– tiny volumes so availability will be very limited. It’s out at\u00a0\u00a3864 per 12 bottles IB<\/strong>. This drew 96-98\/100 from Neal Martin. He called it ‘a magnificent Clinet, cool and mineral-soaked, both cerebral and lip-smackingly delicious<\/em>.’<\/p>\n
