Some more Christmas Day wines.<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Suduiraut 2001 Sauternes, Bordeaux, France<\/strong>
\n14% alcohol. Remarkably fresh still with complex, spicy lemon and grapefruit notes as well as viscous apricot, pear and peach characters. Lively and powerful with lovely weight. This is a stunning wine with great potential. 95\/100<\/p>\n

\"IMGP9225\"<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Le D\u00f4me 1996 Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, France<\/strong>
\nNormally a cult Saint Emilion wouldn\u2019t be my thing, but this wine, which I have enjoyed a number of times in recent years, is a classic, elegant, balanced right bank Bordeaux. It\u2019s taut and fresh with lovely black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, with hints of earth and spice. A beautiful wine with a taut personality and potential for further development. 94\/100<\/p>\n

\"IMGP9224\"<\/p>\n

Jaboulet Hermitage la Chapelle 1997 Northern Rh\u00f4ne, France<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019re just beginning to catch the bad phase of Jaboulet here. It\u2019s a nice wine, but it\u2019s more evolved than it should be. Notes of iodine, meat, cherries and earth with a ferrous, sanguine edge. Still Hermitage, but lighter and more evolved than it should be. Still, if you drink this now, there\u2019s some pleasure to be had. 92\/100<\/p>\n

Ch\u00e2teau Gruaud Larose St Julien 2000 Bordeaux, France<\/strong>
\n12.5% alcohol. Fresh, vivid and green edged with blackcurrant and blackberry fruit, showing some leafy notes. Gravelly and grippy with nice spicinesss. Focused and developing well. 93\/100<\/p>\n
