2006 Joanin Becot Red Bordeaux....$29.99
"One of the stars of the vintage for this appellation, this property, owned by Juliette Becot, produces a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, and looked after by Michel Rolland’s right-hand man in Bordeaux, Jean-Philippe Forte, this stunning 2006 exhibits sweet blackberry, black currant, smoky, toasty oak, espresso roast, and chocolate aromas and flavors. Full-bodied with precise minerality, and good focus, purity, texture, and depth, this superb sleeper of the vintage should be consumed over the next decade. Good value."
Rated 90/100 The Wine Advocate
2006 Chateau d'Aiguilhe...$29.99
This shows new wood on the nose, with ripe berry and sweet tobacco. Full-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and firm tannins. Very fresh and racy. Consistently outstanding and always a serious value. Best from 2012 through 2017. –JS
