From bottle, the 2023 Château Cheval Blanc is one of the most compelling wines of the vintage, just as it was from cask. Bursting with aromas of cherries and mulberries mingled with notions of violets, rose petal and anise, it's full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a deep and enveloping core of vibrant fruit, ripe tannins and a long, expansive finish. It's a blend of 52% Merlot, 46% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, drawing on fully 46 of the blocks that make up Cheval Blanc, and it attained 13.8% alcohol.HK$24,450.00 -

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (88)
The 2016 Chevalier de Lascombes is a very pretty second wine that very much captures the essence of the house style. Deep, plush and fleshy, the 2016 has a lot to offer. Bold fruit and sweet oak add to the wine's racy personality. The 2016 has come together nicely during aging. I would prefer to drink it now and over the next few years.HK$3,220.00 -
(6x150cl) 2018Vinous - Antonio Galloni (87-89)
The 2018 Chevalier de Lascombes is bright, punchy and everything a second wine should be, most importantly, absolutely delicious. Juicy, red berry fruit and floral notes are pushed forward in this supple, inviting Margaux.HK$2,870.00 -

The 2019 Chevalier de Lascombes is a rich, heady wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Ripe black cherry, plum, spice, chocolate and tobacco are dialed up. This is an especially flamboyant style, but it works well.HK$2,755.00 -

The 2020 Chevalier de Lascombes, matured entirely in one-year-old barrels, has a tightly-knit bouquet with cranberry and raspberry fruit and light floral scents. The palate is fresh on the entry with quite firm tannins, a touch of balsamic infusing the red fruit with a hint of bitterness on the finish. So-so.HK$3,085.00 -

The 2021 Chevalier de Lascombes offers light red cherries and strawberry fruit on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins and fine acidity. This is quite cohesive with nicely integrated oak. A decent Deuxième Vin.HK$3,085.00 -

This well-respected cru bourgeois from proprietor Vialard has a tendency to be relatively tannic, which could be scary in a vintage like 2005, but this wine is dense, powerful and rich. It displays a still youthful dark plum/purple color, medium body, and lots of minerality and fruit. Forget it for another 3-4 years and drink it over the next decade.HK$3,695.00 -
(12x75cl) 2008Delight in the indulgence of a rich, full-bodied Bordeaux with the exquisite Cissac 2008. Skillfully crafted in the vineyards of the renowned Château Cissac within the Haut-Médoc region in France, this formidable claret exemplifies esteemed French winemaking tradition. The blend, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and accentuated by Merlot and Petit Verdot, is aged in oak barrels, giving the Cissac 2008 its arresting depth and splendor. Notes of ripe black fruit, truffle and delicate oak resonate with a fine balance of acidity and tannin. The wine bears the signature Cissac maturity and elegance that truly set it apart and proclaim its superior finesse. The House of Cissac has been perpetuating its winemaking legacy since 1769, delivering wines that radiate robust character and sophistication. Invest in the Cissac 2008, a divine representation of exquisite, vintage Bordeaux, fully ready to be savoured now or cellared to reveal its evolving complexity.

88-90 Solid, chunky wine, firmly tannic and tough. The weight of fruit is there to give promise for the future.HK$2,585.00 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (90)
The 2017 Cissac has a well defined bouquet with blackberry, cedar, brown spices and a touch of leather, some new oak (30%) needing a few months to fully integrate. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and good grip. A saline finish urges you back for another sip. This is a commendable Cissac that makes the most of the vintage. Recommended as it is often a great value.HK$1,080.00 -
(12x75cl) 2019Vinous - Neal Martin (90)
The 2019 Cissac has a nose of bright red berries nicely interwoven with hints of graphite and cedar, all very focused. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and vibrant, with fine-grained tannins and gentle grip on the graphite-tinged finish. This is a very fine Cissac to enjoy over the next decade.HK$1,785.00 -

Beautiful aromas of currants, berries and flowers. Full-bodied, with a wonderfully integrated palate of ripe fruit and fine tannins. Long finish. Best Citran in years. Best after 2009. 26,500 cases made. -JSHK$3,075.00 -
(6x150cl) 2014Vinous - Antonio Galloni (86)
The 2014 Citran is a hearty, burly Haut-Médoc to drink now and over the next few years. The coarse tannins this wine showed out of barrel have never really softened.HK$1,580.00 -
(1x150cl) 2015Vinous - Antonio Galloni (85-87)
The 2015 Citran is hearty and a bit rough around the edges, with good fruit intensity but four-square, chunky tannins that give the wine its distinctly rustic personality.HK$850.00 -

The 2016 Citran has a classic tobacco-scented bouquet that is quite austere at first but opens up with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, not complex but offering fine salinity toward the finish, which just needs a little more mineralité and detail.HK$985.00 -

The 2017 Citran has a powerful nose of black fruit laced with peppermint and light loamy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a fine bead of acidity and perhaps more refinement than suggested by the aromatics. As it coheres in the glass, this turns into a very fine Haut-Médoc that is probably punching above its weight. Very fine.HK$1,850.00 -
Vinous - Neal Martin (89+)
The 2018 Citran has retained its well-defined, marine-influenced nose of black fruit infused with seaweed and oyster shells but is less diffuse than it was out of barrel. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a little foursquare, perhaps, but fresh and showing more cohesion and complexity on the finish compared to some of its peers. Good show. And maybe it will improve further.HK$1,755.00 -
(12x75cl) 2019Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90)
The 2019 Citran has come together nicely in élevage. Succulent red cherry, mint, tobacco, licorice, rose petal, cinnamon and dried herbs all grace this expressive Haut-Médoc. Hints of cedar, menthol and spice linger. The 2019 is a bit rustic, but it offers plenty of character.HK$1,900.00 -

Bordeaux's relatively diverse weather, particularly its rainfall, means that vintage variation can be quite broad between some years. However advances in wine making techniques, technology and investment has meant that many chateaux are still able to create very good wines in "lesser vintages". From the best vintages wines are made that are clambered for all over the world and mature excellently for many years.
This is a selection of some of our favourite vintages from Bordeaux over the last few decades, as well some more recent ones.
