CLOS MANOU
Medoc
RP/William Kelley - From an 18-hectare estate planted at a density of
around 10,000 vines per hectare, the 2019 Clos Manou is a serious
wine. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berry fruit, cigar
wrapper, licorice and espresso roast, it's medium to full-bodied,
deep and layered, with terrific concentration, lively acids and plenty
of ripe, powdery tannin that will reward a bit of bottle age. It's
closed with an Ardeaseal technical cork as used by Burgundy's Domaine
Ponsot among others. This estate merits a mention in any list of
Bordeaux's finest under-the-radar producers. |

CLOS MANOU
Medoc
RP/William Kelley -
A terrific wine that would embarrass many
classified growths, the 2016 Clos Manou wafts from the glass with
aromas of dark berries, cassis, cigar wrapper, sweet spices, loamy soil
and black truffle. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and
multidimensional, it's concentrated, intensely flavoured and beautifully
balanced, with refined tannins, lively acids and a long, sapid finish.
Classically Médocain in style, it is worth a special effort to seek
out. |

BARON de BRANE
Margaux
2nd Wine of
Chateau
Brane-Cantenac
The top wine currently sells for approx. £72 for a 75cl bottle! So this
represents real value.
Vinous.com/Neal Martin -
The 2019 Baron de Brane is the first to use a tiny
amount of amphora in the élevage. It offers fine lift on the nose of
almost airy red berry fruit, raspberry confit and rose petals; a light
loamy scent emerges with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied
with a fresh opening, and a little angular initially, but it coheres
toward the middle, delivering tart red cherries, fine acidity and good
delineation toward the pencil-lead-infused finish. This is a fine
Deuxième Vin from the estate that should drink well for a decade and
more. |

Vinous.com/Antonio Galloni -
The 2017 Baron de Brane is a pretty wine to drink
now and over the next few years. Dark cherry, mocha, spice and new
leather are all nicely pushed forward. There is a good bit of
immediacy to the 2017, if not a ton of depth or persistence. |

Super-ripe dark cherry, chocolate, plum, new

2015 Baron de Brane. Dark, supple and inviting, with no hard edges,
the 2015 is a terrific choice for drinking now. There is lovely depth
and succulence here. |

BRANE-CANTENAC
Margaux
RP/Lisa Perrotti-Brown - The 2018 Brane-Cantenac is medium to deep
garnet-purple in colour, leaping from the glass with vibrant notes of
kirsch, black raspberries and warm cassis, plus suggestions of roses,
forest floor and cinnamon stick with a waft of cedar chest. The
medium-bodied palate is wonderfully elegant and refreshing, weighing in
at just 13.5% alcohol, while not scrimping on the interplay of red
and black fruits. It has lovely soft tannins and a long, perfumed
finish.
Impressive! |

delivering mouth-coating black fruits and a firm, grainy texture,
finishing with a refreshing earthy lift. |

Margaux

Chateau
Rauzan-Segla
The top wine currently sells for approx. £97 for a 75cl bottle! So this
represents real value.
RP/Lisa Perrotti-Brown -
The 2018 Ségla is composed of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot and 2%
Petit Verdot. Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from September 27 to
October 11, Merlot from September 13-27 and Petit Verdot September
28-29. It has 14% alcohol, and aging is anticipated to be 18 months in
barriques, 25% new. Deep garnet-purple coloured, it opens with quite
profound notes of baked blueberries, chocolate-covered cherries and
mulberries with underlying cassis, violets, espresso and cracked pepper.
The palate is medium to full-bodied with loads of rich fruit and
lovely peppery sparks, framed by plush tannins and finishing with great
length |

SIRAN
Margaux
RP/William
Kelley - Exhibiting aromas of rich currant fruit and creamy
new oak, the 2019 Siran is medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy,
with lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins that assert themselves on
the youthfully chewy finish. This is a flavourful, nicely balanced
wine that will reward a bit of bottle age. |

SIRAN
Margaux
RP/Lisa
Perrotti-Brown - Medium to deep garnet-purple in colour, the 2018
Siran wafts out of the glass with very pretty scents of red roses,
cinnamon stick, chocolate-covered cherries and fragrant earth, giving
way to a core of warm cassis and plum preserves, plus a touch of
camphor.
The medium to full-bodied palate is absolutely laden with rich, juicy
black fruits, supported by velvety tannins and plenty freshness,
finishing long and perfumed. This very classy, absolutely delicious
Margaux tastes great now, but it will reward 3-4 years of
cellaring and has the stuffing to continue thereafter for 20+ years. |

SIRAN
Margaux
RP/Neal Martin - The 2015 Siran is a blend of 55% Merlot, 38%
Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot picked between 17 September to 12
October. It is raised in 25% new oak plus one-year barrels. It is a
little richer and more opulent than its neighbor, the 2015 Dauzac, due
to the higher proportion of Merlot. It veers to more red fruit here,
wild strawberry and later cassis. The palate is smooth and sensual on
the entry, very well defined with a keen thread of acidity. It grips
the mouth, implying that there is more Cabernet than there actually is.
I like the volume here, and unlike previous vintages that seemed to
show some warmth on the finish, here the finish is much more linear
and controlled, fanning out gracefully but with power emanating from
that Merlot. This is likely to be proprietor Edouard Miailhe's best wine
in recent years. |
