Villars 2009 Fronsac 750ml PRE-ARRIVAL (191040)

|
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WA): 90-92+
"A solid effort, and possibly the best wine ever made at Villars, the 2009 exhibits a deep ruby/purple color as well as notes of forest floor, crushed rocks, blueberries, and raspberries, a superb texture, admirable purity, and a long, full-bodied finish. It should drink well for 15-20 years."

Cap de Faugeres 2009 Cotes de Castillon 750ml PRE-ARRIVAL (191069)
| WA: 90-92* |
|
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WA): 90-92*
"A blend of 85% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon that came in at 14% natural alcohol, it is a full-bodied, super-concentrated effort displaying excellent purity as well as lots of minerality and floral notes imbedded in black and blue fruits. The oak is totally masked, the tannins are prominent but sweet, and the wine is fresh and precise. A sleeper of the vintage, this beauty should drink well for 10-12 years. (Tasted four times.)"

Faizeau Vieilles Vignes 2009 Montagne St Emilion 750ml PRE-ARRIVAL (191011)
| WA: 90-92 |
|
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WA): 90-92
"Another winner from these old vines (mostly Merlot), this sleeper of the vintage from the Raynaud family that owns La Croix de Gay and La Fleur de Gay in Pomerol exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as wonderful mocha and black cherry jam notes. Fleshy and full-bodied with outstanding purity and a heady, potent finish (the alcohol must exceed 14%), it should drink nicely for a decade or more. (Tasted once.)"
