    Been drinking some vintages that were close to, or at (or even past!) their drink-up dates:


    2007 Château Capbern Gasqueton, Saint-Estèphe.



    "Delicate violet aromas belie a wealth of blackcurrent richness typical of Cabernet lead clarets of Saint- Estèphe - with added elegance and sophistication found in all the wines associated with Château Calon-Ségur." (Château Calon-Ségur run Château Capbern Gasquiton.) Said to be "The Lafite of Sainte-Estèphe".

    I had bought a case of this way back in 2007, but this bottle was hiding away in my 'cellar'. Definitely past its prime - still drinkable, but had lost a fair bit of its character. Still it reminded me to buy a case of the 2019.


    2014 Château Les Granges de Civrac, Médoc. 13% ABV



    "Château Les Granges boasts 30 hectares of mature vineyards in the very north of the Médoc, close to the Gironde estuary. These vines are ideally situated on chalky clay hilltops in Civrac, Saint Christoly and Conquèques, affording good exposure to the sunshine and well drained soils. Jean Paul and Brigitte Roland became the proud owners of the estate in 1973 and have ploughed in lots of investment. In 2000, they completely refurbished the cellars to ensure they could make the very most of the great fruit. Its quality has been recognised by its superior Cru Bourgeois status. Ageing in barrel lends the finishing touches to this classic claret that tastes at its best between 5 and 10 years old."


    2016 Château Fontaine de L'Aubier, Médoc. 13% ABV



    Château Fontaine de l’Aubier is located in the heart of the Médoc, neighbouring some of the greatest classed growth châteaux, and perched on the famous gravel soils that suit Cabernet and Merlot grapes so well. Five generations of the Fauchey family have succeeded each other at the château, always with the same approach to the task of making wine, starting with the greatest care in the vineyards, weeding and pruning by hand to avoid soil erosion, and adding absolutely nothing in the winery. Such fastidiousness pays off in quality. Top American wine critic James Suckling has awarded this wine an impressive 92–93 points for its silky tannins and flavourful finish.

    50% Cabernet Franc + 50% Merlot. Needs decanting.


    2019 Château de Colombe, Sainte Colombe, Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux 14.5% ABV



    Mostly Cabernet Franc and Merlot grape. Needs decanting.
