The 1959 Jacques Darcel & Co 6000ml from Bordeaux, France is a true testament to the region's exceptional winemaking. This vintage, produced by the esteemed Jacques Darcel & Co, showcases a deep, ruby red color that captures the essence of its age. On the nose, this wine offers a complex bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries, infused with hints of tobacco and leather. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with bold tannins that give way to a velvety finish. The layers of dark fruit flavors are complemented by a touch of spice, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. This 1959 vintage is a true masterpiece that has aged beautifully, making it a must-try for any wine enthusiast. Enjoy this wine now or cellar for years to come to continue to unlock its full potential.

Without a doubt one of Bordeaux's most famous vineyards, Cheval Blanc lies on the border of Pomerol and is also easily the most important estate in St-Émilion. Uniquely a blend dominated by Cabernet Franc, Cheval Blanc's wines have a powerful bouquet which is spicy and rich which is followed by fruit that is soft, mellow and liquorous. Matched only by Pétrus in the realm of vigour and concentration, Cheval's exuberance is not to be missed. With this latest release, the 2009, the wines are bordering on immortal. A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, this super-smooth, velour textured and opulent red wine shows rambunctious flavours of raspberries, blueberries, liquorice and a smidge of menthol. Will be fascinating to watch this

Tasted blind at the 2012 Southwold tasting, the 2012 Ausone took more time to settle in the glass than its peers, eventually deciding upon briary, violet and cassis scentsvery floral and Margaux-like in style, not powerful but insistent. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a crisp line of acidity, blackcurrant pastille mixed with cedar and a dash of spice, the wine finally revving up towards an intense and persistent finish that almost stains the mouth with its opulence. It is a gorgeous Saint Emilion from Pauline and Alain Vauthier. Tasted January 2016. - Rober Parker Jr
