(12x75cl) 2012Wine Spectator (91)
This is pure and open, with good lift to the plum, red currant and perfumy tea notes. Features some of the vintage's sinewy feel, but the structure remains relatively fine-grained, showing plenty of solid depth through the finish. Score range: 88-91 -JMHK$3,240.00 -
(6x75cl) 2020Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90-92)
The 2020 Pierre 1er is nicely done. In fact, this is one of the better recent vintages I can remember tasting. Inky and voluptuous, the 2020 offers quite a bit of richness, but with better balance than has been the case in the last few years. Dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice and cloves add to the wine's somber yet beguiling personality. This extroverted Saint-Émilion has quite a bit to offer.HK$1,920.00 -

The 2014 Croizet-Bages is a gorgeous wine, not to mention a potential sleeper for the vintage. Dense, pliant and expressive, yet also very much classic in its proportions, the 2014 hits all the right notes. Sweet red cherry, plum, licorice and mint add nuance. This is super-impressive.HK$2,010.00 -

From an up and coming estate, the 2015 Château Croizet-Bages is an impressive, solid, classic Pauillac offering lots of leafy herbs, tobacco leaf, toasty oak and assorted dark fruits. With medium to full-bodied richness, solid mid-palate concentration, and notable tannin, it’s going to benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and last for over a decade.HK$3,355.00 -

The 2016 Croizet-Bages has an open and engaging bouquet, a mélange of red and black fruit laced with cedar and subtle mint aromas. The oak here is nicely integrated. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins matched with a fine bead of acidity. It displays a tad more “rondeur” than its peers thanks to some expressive Merlot and fans out on the finish. A Croizet-Bages that “leaves the customer satisfied.HK$3,440.00 -

The 2018 Croizet-Bages has a fragrant, well-defined nose with the blackberry and briary notes that I observed from barrel; this is one of the most satisfying aromatics I have encountered from this Pauillac estate. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, plenty of graphite-infused black fruit and a fine bead of acidity. A little dry on the finish but quite persistent. This is a fine Croizet-Bages that should please those whose knees tremble at the thought of "classic" Left Bank Cabernet.HK$3,630.00 -

Strong aromas of black fruits on the nose, this is deeply concentrated but with great drive and plushness. Some cooling blue fruit touches, blueberries, pomegranate and blackcurrant but also strong menthol aspects - the Pauillac Cabernet aspects coming through. Powerful and structured but also well defined with a precise fruit profile. I like the dark, liquorice, coffee intensity here with a juicy lift at the end. Lots going on.HK$1,890.00 -
