9.0

Sleeper of the vintage? Yes, doubtless! Ultra-classic? Graceful and elegant with rounded off tannins, still providing a positive grip which frames the traditional fruit profile. Long, fresh finish. — 10 years ago

Château Gazin Rocquencourt

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Tout le monde est français aujourd'hui. (Oui, je parle français. Un peu.)
A lot going on here. Blackberry, plum, lead pencil, tobacco. Velvety touch. Long finish full of secondary flavors. Classic Bordeaux. A sleeper.

This one's a sleeper! Sensational wine under a plain-looking label. Bold and full bodied, bountiful but bearable dark fruits, a bit of wax aroma, and plenty of refreshing acid. Rad! — 10 years ago

Cantina del Pino

Albesani Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2005

Albesani is a vineyard on the same hill as Santo Stefano. Gorgeous, perfumed nose of dark cherry, rose, truffle, and underbrush. This is a tremendous sleeper of a wine. Good now and for 10+ years. — 11 years ago

Château La Vieille Cure

Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

I've been looking for that $30 bottle that outshines any other - I think I've found it. Parker calls this the benchmark for fronsac and a sleeper of the vintage.. The nose is gorgeous with notes of vanilla, coffee bean, lilac, and lavender. On the palate, it's supple and enticing with sweet strawberries, chewy vanilla and oak, chocolate covered cherries and a velvety kirsch finish. Yup, it's good. — 11 years ago
