Two 2006 Bordeaux Bottles

2006 Château Lestage Cuvée Haut Lestage
A fine low keyed maturity in the shape of red currants, violets, a hint of bell pepper and cigarette ashes.
The taste feels younger with perky tannins and notes of iron, ripe red currants and leather. Very, very good.
88p   (tasted 2025/07)


2006 Château Lilian Ladouys
A deep, lightly meaty nose with additional notes of graphite, plums, tobacco and moist earth. Ripe and very fine.
The taste is tight and precisely balanced with gorgeous black fruit, cigarr smoke and handsome tannins. 5+ years.
93p   (tasted 2025/07)
