Vinfolio - Wine Offer - High-scoring Bordeaux

High-scoring Bordeaux

“Traditionalists often wax poetic about 'the good ol' days,' insisting that 'they just don't make Bordeaux the way they used to.' In fact, for Bordeaux wines, times have never been better, both climatically and financially. Moreover, the quality of winemaking in Bordeaux has never been higher. The greatest wines ever made in Bordeaux are those that are produced today. The most prominent factor about the best red and white wines of Bordeaux is their remarkable longevity. In great years, the aging potential of these wines is unequaled by any other table wines produced in the world.” - Robert Parker, Bordeaux

Today Vinfolio brings you a selection of Blue Chip Bordeaux including some of the most collectible wines in the world. The older vintages in this assortment are increasingly hard to find, so act now for the best selection.

2005 Ausone (WA 100) - “A tiny production of just over 1,300 cases will make the 2005 Ausone impossible to find, but proprietor Alain Vauthier continues to exhibit the Midas touch with his perfectionist efforts at this estate. This brilliant, blue/black-hued offering reveals an extraordinarily youthful, but promising nose of incense, blueberries, blackberries, currants, licorice, and crushed rocks. This intense 2005 boasts powerful, super-layered, multidimensional flavors with tremendous extraction, yet they come across as incredibly sublime, even delicate for such a stunningly concentrated, full-bodied effort. A masterpiece of concentration and balance, it will no doubt be drinking well a century from now.” - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

1998 Mouton - Rothschild (WA 96) - “Like many of its peers, the 1998 has filled out spectacularly. Now in the bottle, this opaque black/purple-colored offering has increased in stature, richness, and size. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc (57% of the production was utilized), it is an extremely powerful, super-concentrated wine offering notes of roasted espresso, creme de cassis, smoke, new saddle leather, graphite, and licorice. It is massive, with awesome concentration, mouth-searing tannin levels, and a saturated flavor profile that grips the mouth with considerable intensity. This is a 50-year Mouton, but patience will be required as it will not be close to drinkability for at least a decade.” - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

1998 Chateau Haut-Brion (WS 97) - “Rich and wonderful wine, classic, with loads of vanilla, raspberry and chocolate aromas. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a long aftertaste of berry, grape and vanilla. Subtle, elegant and powerful, with great length. 12,000 cases made.” - James Suckling, Wine Spectator
