The Tirecul Graviere Monbazillac Madame Blanc 1995 is a quintessential expression of Southwest France's esteemed Monbazillac appellation. Crafted by the venerable Tirecul Graviere estate, renowned for its dedication to traditional winemaking, this exquisite wine is a blend predominantly of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The vines, nurtured in the region's limestone-rich soils, flourish under the precise influence of noble rot, imparting the wine with its signature luscious sweetness and complexity. Hand-harvested to ensure optimal Botrytis cinerea development, the grapes undergo meticulous fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, enhancing their depth and character. The 1995 vintage stands out for its remarkable balance and longevity, featuring rich notes of apricot, honey, and citrus intertwined with subtle floral undertones. Aged gracefully, this Monbazillac exemplifies Tirecul Graviere's expertise and passion, offering a sublime sensory experience for connoisseurs seeking unparalleled quality. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (88-89)Deep purple with an exotic exuberant nose, not too cooked. Lovely fresh red fruit despite the more exotic style, floral peony notes, ripe raspberries, relatively dancing, and with good length. Drink from 2025-2038. Tasted: October 2023. |

Jancis Robinson (16.5)Earthy nose. Then sweet, charming fruit. Really, what’s not to like if you’re prepared to buy an unfashionable appellation? |

Burghound (92)An attractively layered nose offers up notes of violet, plum, smoked meat hints and plenty of warm earth character to the wild dark berry fruit aromas. There is excellent volume to the ripe, intense and powerful large-scaled flavors that exhibit fine intensity on the powerful, balanced and vibrant finish that delivers its usual fine length. This isn't quite a robust as it usually is though it's a big wine all the same and will require an extended cellar siesta. Drink: 2023+ |

Burgundy | 3 | 92 (BH) | HK$7,030.00 | |||||
Burghound (92)This is quite densely fruited with an unusually expressive mélange of violet, plum, red and black currant, tea and plenty of earth elements. There is very fine volume and plenty of power to the reasonably well-detailed and muscular flavors that delivers outstanding length on the youthfully austere and saline suffused finish. While I envision that markedly more depth will develop there is enough underlying material present that if it does then my predicted score may very well be too conservative as this is very good. Drink: 2023+ |

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Corton Grand Cru comes from the Les Combes climat toward the bottom of the slope. It has a floral bouquet with pressed rose petal aromas flanking the raspberry, strawberry and vanilla aromas. The palate is clean and precise on the entry, displaying good acidity, and quite linear in style, with a strict, tensile finish that is very promising. One to watch once in bottle. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (89-93)Rich purple, perhaps not quite so dense. Ripe strawberry with some floral rose notes in a concentrated register, then an explosion of blackcurrant, blackberry and some fresher red berry notes as well on the palate, soft and liquid, though the alcohol is showing, at 15%. Tasted: October 2021 |

Vinous - Neal Martin (91)The 2021 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru has an even heavier reduction than David Croix's "C.C." and this seems more fixed despite transferring between glasses. The palate is better with admirable weight and depth. The reduction is still more pronounced than I would prefer, though it is redeemed by a lovely spiciness on the admittedly oaky finish plus there is plenty of vigour and length. How this Corton-Charlemagne will play out depends on what happens to that reduction... it could go either way, hence the question mark against my score. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |
