La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc 2024, 0.75L
Sauvignon Blanc / Semillon from Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux
“The 2024 La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc, which has more Sémillon in the blend, was reticent on the nose and demanded more coaxing than usual, (reluctantly) offering scents of red apple, lime flower and crushed stone. The palate is more expressive with impressive weight and density. The 2024 is fresh and vibrant with palpable tension, revealing a tingle of lemongrass and stem ginger towards its sustained finish. When I returned to my glass after 20 minutes, the aromatics had burst open and shown their true colours, with hints of chai and popcorn and wonderful mineralité. This might turn out to be one of the best white La Missions in recent years.” 96-98, Neal Martin, Vinous, Apr 2025
“Light greenish yellow, silver reflections. White flowers, delicate tropical fruit, a hint of mango, mineral, a hint of lime zest. Juicy, elegant and balanced, white tropical fruit, delicate sweetness, fine acidity, secure development and certain ageing potential.” 94, Peter Moser, Falstaff, Apr 2025
“Based on 59% Semillon and 41% Sauvignon Blanc that had malolactic fermentation blocked and will spend 7 months in barrel, the 2024 Château La Mission Haut-Brion Blanc is another juicy, lively, almost racy yet still impressive white from this vintage. Tart lemon, pineapple, honeyed mineral, and minty, gooseberry notes all emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied, with a bright, crisp mouthfeel, terrific overall balance, and a great finish.” 92-94, Jeb Dunnuck, May 2025

Levet Côte-Rôtie La Chavaroche 2021, 0.75L
Syrah from Côte-Rôtie, Rhône
“Displays potent, mineral-accented dark berry preserve, olive paste and incense aromas that are complemented by floral oil, pipe tobacco and exotic spice flourishes. Chewy, densely packed and sharply focused on the palate, offering intense, spice-laced blackberry, blueberry, bitter cherry, violet pastille and smoky bacon flavors that turn livelier with air. Closes on an emphatic mineral note, with solid thrust, gripping tannins and superb, floral-tinged persistence.” 96-98, Josh Raynolds, Vinous, Dec 2022

Alvaro Palacios Finca Dofi Gratallops 2021, 0.75L
Grenache / Cariñena from Priorat, Catalunya
"The more backward of the 2021s was the 2021 Finca Dofí, which was very primary and smelled almost like the fermentation vessels, and it took time in the glass to open up. The blend is higher in Garnacha and they couldn't use the Picapoll, as it didn't work well that cool year, so it's 90% Garnacha, 9% Cariñena and 1% white grapes. It achieved 14.5% alcohol but kept better freshness than in 2020, a constant in the 2021 wines. Very promising..." 96-98 Luis Guiterrez, Wine Advocate
