The Vintage Years Wine Gift Box
Includes free UK delivery
For those with a penchant for properly aged claret, here are three vintages with over fifteen years of maturity and finesse.
The Wines:
2010 Château de Camensac, Cru Classé Haut Médoc
"A strong effort from this large estate, Camensac's 2010 offers up classic Bordeaux notes of tobacco leaf, licorice, red and black currants, and some spicy oak. It has light to medium tannin, medium body, and good purity and cleanliness. Anticipated maturity: now-2025."
Wine Advocate
2009 Château Grand-Puy Ducasse, Cru Classé Pauillac
"Aromas of blackberries, unsmoked cigar tobacco and cedar/sagebrush jump from the glass of this dense purple-hued Pauillac. Full-bodied with more depth and richness than usual as well as moderate tannins, this potential sleeper of the vintage offers 15-20 years of aging potential. Moreover, it is modestly priced. Purchasers should give it 4-5 years of cellaring and enjoy it over the following two decades."
92pts, Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Château Grand Corbin-Despagne, St-Emilion Grand Cru 2005
Alive with cedar, black cherry and cassis, this Château Grand Corbin-Despagne is at the very peak of its powers. Offering a thrilling, high toned expression of the outstanding 2005 vintage, it delivers creme de cassis, blueberry and morello flavours, whilst the wine's initially firm backbone has softened to reveal outstanding balance and finesse. Outstanding.
