Bud break occurred around the normal time, although the spring was rather rainy and cold. June was particularly overcast and cool, but flowering nevertheless took place in good conditions. The summer was hot and very dry, almost too dry at the beginning of September, with ripening becoming hindered in some cases due to water stress. Lafite’s superb terroir was perfectly able to cope with these conditions, and we were able to wait without undue concern for the very welcome rain on 13 September. This created optimal conditions for the final ripening of the grapes, which were able to reach exceptional levels of maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocation\u003cbr\u003ePauillac is located on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, approximately 40km North of Bordeaux. With the tempering influence of the estuary and a great diversity of soils originated from both the Massif Central and the Pyrenees, Pauillac boasts exceptional climatic and geological conditions to make outstanding wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerroir\u003cbr\u003eChateau Lafite Rothschild is located to the north of the appellation, bordering Saint Estèphe. Lafite's best terroirs stretch on the 50ha Plateau des Carruades to the west of the Château. This plateau, which is the highest point of the Pauillac appellation, is well-drained and enjoys optimal sun exposure. Its clayey gravel soils offer excellent water regulating abilities, and provide optimal ripening conditions for the Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003cbr\u003eSome 4.5 ha planted in the neighbouring Saint Estephe appellation, count amongst the oldest vines of the property and provide year after year grapes of outstanding quality for the Grand Vin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking\u003cbr\u003eIn order to reveal the magic of Lafite’s terroir, every step of the wine elaboration is carried out with the greatest precision. Depending of their provenance and level of ripeness, grapes will be transferred into either wooden, stainless steel or concrete vats. Alcoholic fermentation is conducted at controlled temperature, with regular pumping over to gently release all the phenolic compounds in the grapes. Each vat is carefully monitored and tasted daily in order to determine the best racking time. The maceration period variesfor each tank but is around 22 days in total.\u003cbr\u003eAfter malolactic fermentation wines are transferred into French oak barrels. Lafite has its own cooperage in Pauillac, la Tonnellerie des Domaines, which contributes to its unique style. The selection for the grand vin is made in March, once the wines have settled and start revealing their full potential. Every barrel is tasted individually and only the best ones are set aside for the final blend.\u003cbr\u003eOnce blended, the wine is aged for a further 15 months in barrels, primarily of new oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrapes\u003cbr\u003e92 % Cabernet sauvignon\u003cbr\u003e8 % Merlot\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting\u003cbr\u003eBeautiful dark red colour with almost black glints in the glass.

Then gradually, maintaining the same softness, the wine fills the mouth with enormous length, to the point that one wonders how long it can continue! The mid-palate is perfectly balanced. It is very dense with tight tannins that are still very delicate. The wine has remarkable persistence and fullness on the palate, it does not reveal the slightest imbalance or weakness.

The process was as careful as possible, without using any bombs, doing manual and optical sorting of the grapes, pressing in small vertical presses and aging of 20 months in French oak barrels, 73% of them new and the rest second use. The wine reached good ripeness with 14.9% alcohol. It still shows the effect of the élevage a bit, with abundant notes of sweet spices, a creamy touch and some smoke. I tasted it next to the 2019, and the wines have a very similar aromatic palette with a clear note of baked peppers. What was amazing in 2020 was that they harvested the Carmenere almost five weeks earlier than they normally would, and the result is not a green wine at all. As in all dry years, the wines show a little more tannic, a little in the style of the 2017—but the 2020 has more tension than the 2017, and the 2017 was more powerful and with a bigger tannic structure.

Paradoxically, the heats and the drought became a real blessing as they generated an early ripening process and obliged us to harvest naturally earlier and faster than usual, under the pressure of the incipient pandemic. All our grapes were quickly harvested between March 13th and April 17th, ending 3-4 weeks earlier than usual. e particular conditions of the year concentrated the savors in the berries, producing a wonderful vintage 2020 with lots of fruit, freshness, density and tension. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTasting Notes 2020:\u003cbr\u003eAn appealing dark and vibrant ruby color. e nose is pure and layered, displaying a generous and elegant bouquet of blackberry, ripe cassis and wild strawberry, associated to mineral hints and delicate notes of violet, ink, vanilla and dark chocolate.

Being mindful of varietal nuances, regional essence and silk-like textural definition, the wine is nurtured in French barriques for maturation. Impressive is the cyclical nature of viticulture and winemaking, and Penfolds recognises that different hemispheres often end up being the mirror image of the other.

The weather in September was especially favorable for both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon at the critical time of maturation.

Following this rigorous selection, the wine is blended and transferred to oak barrels (50% new).\u003cbr\u003eOnce the wines have undergone malolactic fermentation, they are transferred to French oak barrels made by the Tonnellerie des Domaines in Pauillac.

Its clayey gravel soils offer excellent water regulating abilities, and provide optimal ripening conditions for the Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003cbr\u003eSome 4.5 ha planted in the neighbouring Saint Estephe appellation, count amongst the oldest vines of the property and provide year after year grapes of outstanding quality for the Grand Vin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking\u003cbr\u003eFor Lafite's terroir to produce its magic, the vinification process must be carried out with extreme precision. The distribution of the grapes between wooden, stainless steel and concrete vats is determined on the basis of the characteristics of each plot and the grapes’ degree of maturity. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature with regular pumping over to gently extract all the phenolic compounds. The maceration period is around 22 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wines are transferred to French oak barrels. Lafite has its own cooperage in Pauillac, the Tonnellerie des Domaines, a factor that contributes to its unique style. Every barrel is tasted and only the best are selected for the final blend. The wine is then aged in new oak barrels for 15 months.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39981434634304,"sku":"RDFR20220025","price":1180.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/products\/chateau-lafite-rothschild-pauillac-750ml.jpg?v=1788244081"},{"product_id":"chateau-lagrange-st-julien-2016-750ml","title":"Chateau Lagrange St-Julien 2016 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eChâteau Lagrange Saint-Julien 2016 is one of the standout successes of this renowned Third Growth estate, widely regarded as the finest Lagrange produced in decades.

Deep and intensely purple in colour, there is still plenty of concentration and potential for this Mouton to blossom further. Ripe red\/black cherry aromas combined with warm, spicy oak.

The family purchased 160 acres in McLaren Vale in 1912 and built their winery in 1927; first crush was in 1928. Vineyard holdings now cover 500 acres. For years, much of the wine was sold in bulk to Penfolds. No doubt that helped shape the house style, as Osborne says, \"I'm not shy of tannins.\" The bulk of the vast range revolves around McLaren Vale stalwarts like Shiraz, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon, but Osborne has expanded the range with offers as diverse as white Rhône-style blends, botrytis Riesling and (his latest) Mencía, which Osborne claims ripens later than Shiraz, hence avoiding the worst of the summer temperatures. His visionary Cube—a multisensorial exhibit\/fine dining restaurant\/tasting room—made waves when it was first proposed and has attracted a huge number of visitors since it was completed. Time constraints being what they are on trips like this, I didn't have a chance to try out the restaurant, where the average meal is something like ten courses and four hours.

Dominus winemaker Tod Mostero explained why 2015 was special: “We had a lot of winter rain—15 inches in December 2014. But then we had a very dry spring—just two inches in March and April. This equated to less vegetative growth, because when you have very little rain in spring, the vegetative growth tends to be limited. This means you need less water in the summer, since the vines prepare themselves for a dry growing season. Because we dry farm, the roots grow deeper and access water that normally wouldn’t be available. We had a similar profile in 2013. The 2015 temperatures were higher than normal but not excessive. Yields were about the same as 2013—smaller than average. The grapes were small. We experienced an early budburst, flowering and harvest, with harvest starting on September 2nd and finished by September 30th.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVivino \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eVivino 4.2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt dark crimson in color, with a fragrant, rich nose full of blackberries and dark forest fruits.

The result in the glass, however, didn't quite meet my lofty expectations, offering up aromas of cassis and blackberries mingled with cigar ash, pencil shavings and saddle leather, followed by a medium to full-bodied, rich and layered palate that's undeniably concentrated and muscular but also somewhat austerely structured, with firm tannins that assert themselves on the somewhat carnal finish. For sheer intensity of flavor, the 2016 is certainly impressive, but it appears to be missing the purity and precision that one might expect for a first growth in a great 21st-century vintage. Perhaps the wine's somewhat wild, rustic characteristics will integrate more seamlessly as more bottle bouquet develops, but my immediate reaction to tasting it was to purchase two more cases of the superb 2016 Forts de Latour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eChâteau Latour left the en primeur system in 2012, so the estate's latest releases are the 2020 Pauillac, 2019 Forts de Latour and 2016 Grand Vin de Latour, which I tasted at the estate with Technical Director Hélène Génin. Certified organic since 2018, most of Latour's historic \"Enclos\" is being farmed biodynamically these days, and its entirety is now cultivated by horse to minimize soil compaction and preserve intact as many old vines as possible. But the objective, above all, rather than subscribing to any particular theoretical approach, is to treat the vineyard holistically, as a system, within and with nature rather than against it. Winemaking is traditional, with macerations in stainless steel followed by maturation in barrel with rackings every three months and one fining with egg whites. Great attention is paid to the choice of barrels: each lot is tasted and its style defined before it's barreled down in cooperage adapted to that style. But if these methods realize the potential of this great site, what makes Latour's site so great? After all, this isn't the only vineyard to occupy the quaternary gravel terrace that makes its appearance along the banks of the Gironde. When I posed this question, Génin's response was to point to Latour's lenses of blue clay interfingered with and underlying those gravels. It's these pockets of clay in just the right places, Génin contends, that contain the secret to the wine's elegantly muscular power and immense longevity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJancis Robinson \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57);\"\u003eJR 18\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished: Feb 6, 2020\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2027-2045\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasted blind.

It is rare, authentic and stirs the soul. In the most natural way, it reveals both great delicacy and outstanding intensity. All the magic of Calon is in this balance. The wine is aged in new oak barrels for 20 months, the tannins of the oak integrating harmoniously over time with the tannins of the grapes. The style is brought by a Cabernet Sauvignon which expresses its finesse without arrogance.

The bulk of the vineyards lie in Avize and Cramant (on the Avize border), as well as Oger, with a remaining hectare in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger.

More recently, the domaine has begun purchasing new barrels, which are subsequently reused, sourcing primarily from Tonnellerie de Mercurey, Tonnellerie de Champagne and Seguin Moreau and sensibly favoring them over the second-hand barrels that previously dominated. The Pur Avize, Pur Oger and Pur Mesnil cuvées, however, ferment and mature exclusively in stainless steel. These wines are racked around Christmas to remove them from their lees, then continue aging in tank until bottling in April. All wines undergo full malolactic fermentation, and sulfites are employed both at pressing and at disgorgement.

In short, a truly world-class wine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hidden-half opened\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e VivaltuS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bodega VivaltuS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Castilla y León\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubregion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ribera del Duero\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ribera del Duero DO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Varieties:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98% Tempranillo (Tinto Fino), 2% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol Content:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14% ABV\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750 ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry, Full-Bodied Red Wine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 months in French oak barrels and Italian terracotta amphorae\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOak Maturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15% new French oak; remaining barrels previously used for one or two wines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Altitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 850–1,000 metres\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hidden-half opened\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Temperature: \u003c\/strong\u003e16–18°C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDecant for 1–2 hours; consider longer aeration if the wine seems closed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hidden-half opened\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eExcellent with grilled ribeye, roast lamb, Iberian pork, venison, slow-braised beef, wild mushroom dishes and aged Manchego cheese.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1855 The Bottle Shop Pte Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41296358342720,"sku":"RDES20184042","price":186.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7728\/6464\/files\/vivaltus-ribera-del-duero-2018-750ml.jpg?v=1783302614"},{"product_id":"dominio-del-aguila-penas-aladas-gran-reserva-2018-750ml","title":"Dominio del Aguila Penas Aladas Gran Reserva 2018 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 54, 136);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDominio del Águila Peñas Aladas Gran Reserva 2018 is an extraordinary single-vineyard Ribera del Duero wine produced in extremely limited quantities from some of the estate's oldest vines.
