The 2005 Latour Pomerol is a knock-out. Fresh, beautifully perfumed and classy, the 2005 is so impressive. It's not the biggest or richest Pomerol out there, that is for sure. Readers will find a gracious, understated Pomerol loaded with red berry fruit perked by soaring floral notes and bright bloo...

Bordeaux Blend: Merlot, Cabernet Franc The 2015 Latour Pomerol has an open-knit bouquet with dark berry fruit, cola, leather and light undergrowth scents. It's perhaps a little more advanced than I was expecting but still pleasurable. The palate is medium-bodied and fresher than the aromatics sugges...

The 2000 Latour-Pomerol turned out to be a classic. The nose contains even more horsepower than the 2005. It's unrestrained yet totally entrancing with blackberry and blueberry fruit tinged with melted asphalt and eau-de-vie. The dense palate is as wonderfully balanced and sensual as the 1998, with...

Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc The 2013 Dominus remains a huge, dense wine.

It can't possibly be described as...

Blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc The 2015 Napanook is dark, plush and inviting, all of which make it an excellent choice for drinking now and over the next decade or so.

In keeping with family tradition, and situated geographically close to Pouilly-Fuiss, Chteau Fuiss cultivates vines within the Julinas appellation since 2010. The granitic soils, enhanced by traditional vinification, produce wine with notes of small red fruits and delicate spices.

The 2023 Pouilly-Fuiss Tte de Cuve has been bottled for five months. It has a light nose that just needs to develop more presence and mineralit. I actually think the 2024 could be the better vintage. The palate is well balanced with an edgy, orange rind-tinged entry and just a twist of sour lemon, n...

Did the local vines adapt perfectly to the area, or did ancient winemakers learn to get the most out of whatever grew In very special parts of Europe, modern technique can hardly improve an already miraculous formula: grow white grap...

Europe really nails whites, we reckon, because it isnt afraid to hold back the fruit and shine a light on minerality and freshness. Dryness and elegance is often the key, and in this regard inexpensive (but well-chosen) Europeans can trump even pricey New World examples.
