RATINGS

*****Michael Broadbent

In it's prime an excellent '59. Well made, beautifully balanced, very tannic. Charm and bite. Most recently, autumn colour, overripe bouquet, good flavor, still tannic.

A great wine, with extremely youthful fruit. Medium ruby-garnet, with sweet berry and rich raspberry aromas. Full-bodied, with rich berry and light leather flavors, medium tannins and a balanced, medium finish...

REGION

France, Bordeaux, St.-Estephe

Saint-Estèphe is in the northern Médoc, on the left bank of the Gironde River. Although it has no First Growth estates, its five Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Growth châteaux are notable, and, in recent decades, have become favorites with reviewers and consumers. Some reviewers also note that the appellation is today making excellent Cru Bourgeois wines, which frequently offer good value. There are 3,404 acres of vineyards and a variety of soil types, from gravelly soil to soil with significant sand or clay. The two Second Growth Châteaux in St.-Estephe are Cos d’Estournel and Montrose. The Third Growth Calon-Ségur is widely admired. The principal grapes grown are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
