2009  

Chateau Puygueraud is produced mainly from Merlot with, however, a proportion of Cabernet that is quite high for the region as well as a touch of Malbec with its peppery character. In 2005, all the Cabernet Sauvignon was pulled up and Cabernet Franc was planted in its place. Available in 750ml bottles too.

2007  OWC, 2nd wine Cos d'Estournel

Second wine of Super Second Growth Cos d'Estournel. Cabernet Sauvignon-based, with Merlot the balance. It is not unusual for half of the estate's crop to go into this wine. Decant & Drink now. -- "Purple-red, plummy nose with broad fruit, lots of class but just a touch of leanness on the finish. Drink 2011-16." - Decanter Magazine

1990  Engraved Magnum

1982  

"This is a denser version of the 1990 that stylistically reminds me of what the young 1959 probably tasted like. Still backward with a deep ruby/plum color revealing only a touch of lightening at the edge, the wine offers up an extraordinary nose of caramelized herbs, smoke, cedar, pen ink, black currants, and earth. The gorgeous aromatics are followed by a full-bodied, plump, rich, fleshy wine with low acidity. With 6-8 hours decanting in a closed decanter, it will offer beautiful drinking, but it needs another 5-8 years to reach full maturity. It is capable of lasting 50-60 years. This classic Lafite is not as fat and concentrated as the 1982 Latour, nor as complex or concentrated as the 1982 Mouton Rothschild, but it is a winner all the same." - 97+pts WA (June 2009)
