Chateau St Jean 2013 Cinq Cepages Red Wine

2013 Chateau St. Jean Cinq Cépages

94 Points

"A huge, dense wine, the 2013 Cinq Cepages possesses tremendous richness and concentration. Inky blue and purplish fruit, crème de cassis, gravel, graphite and dark spices give the Cinq Cepages much of its flamboyant, extroverted personality. Readers should be prepared to cellar the 2013 for at least a few years.”

2012 Penfolds Grange Shiraz

99 points

Red liquorice, gravy reduction flavours and black olive tapenade to the fore. And then, just so much more! Where to start? Compelling depth - weighty/voluminous/fleshy - structurally complete and even throughout. A radiant inner sheen, yet still assertive – a film encrusted with dusty, softened tannins that coat tongue. Great length.

“…Flirting with perfection… this wine is magical. Inky purple/black, with a gorgeous nose of pen ink, cedar wood, vanillin, crème de cassis, and blacker fruits, there’s some forest floor, full-bodied richness, and super-high extract and tannins. It is a massive wine, highly extracted, and built for long, long-term cellaring…”

Wild blackberry and a dark-fruited compote benevolently offer a generosity of fruit sweetness. An almost silky tarriness coupled with mouthwatering acidity create a texturally appealing and integrated mouthfeel. Voluptuous/Voluminous/Velvety.

2013 Stags' Leap The Leap Cabernet Sauvignon

“Another amazingly youthful wine is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon The Leap, meant for 25-30+ years of longevity. Opaque purple, with loads of blueberry, blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, some licorice, smoke and graphite, the wine has terrific intensity, a full-bodied mouthfeel and a long finish. Give it 4-5 years and drink it over the following 25.”
