Jonathan Ray's Verdict
"The garnet-red 2023 Saint-Estèphe (1), with its deep, earthy liquorice and bramble notes is many other nerds’ top red over several epochs. It has weight and character and is delightfully fresh and ripe and, of course, even more approachable than it was when we offered the same vintage last year."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine
Super Second Pedigree, Without the Château Price Tag
One of the stars of our declassified range, this Saint-Estèphe comes from a prestigious Second Growth château widely regarded as a 'Super Second' – an estate producing wines that regularly rival those of the First Growths. Its identity remains under wraps, but the quality speaks for itself.
The 2023 is a beautifully classical claret, with concentrated dark fruit, refined Cabernet structure and a lovely mineral backbone. Already drinking well, yet with the depth and structure to develop over several more years, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy Bordeaux of this pedigree at such an attractive price.
