750mL
Marquis 2018 D’alesme Margaux
55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 5% each of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot aging in 65% new oak
96 Points, Robert Parker: Deep purple-black in color, it leaps from the glass with bold, expressive black cherries, warm plums, crème de cassis and red roses scents with touches of baking spices, potpourri and fragrant earth. Full-bodied, rich and opulent, it completely fills the palate with hedonic black fruit preserves and spices, framed by firm, velvety tannins and finishing with fantastic length.
95 Points, Wine Spectator: Gorgeous mouthfeel right from the first sip, with a velvety, fine-grained texture that lets the range of dark plum, black currant and blackberry fruit flavors splay out without losing focus, while mouthwatering black tea, alder and mineral notes wait gracefully in reserve, showing just a hint, for now, of what they can do on the finish.

94 Points, John Gillman
The 1976 Scharzhofberger Spätlese still drinks beautifully and has many years of life ahead. Its bouquet offers a complex blend of lemon curd, baked peaches, leather, and stony minerality, with a hint of lavender. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, balanced, and focused, with a mature sweetness closer to Kabinett level. Poised with good acidity and depth, this superb Spätlese promises to age gracefully for years to come.
