Firmly structured, showing dense tannins over the black currant fruits and fresh acidity, this is an attractively balanced wine, packed with ripe fruit from the great 2005 vintage, but keeping its freshness and elegance. — R.V. (6/1/2009)

Château Lagarosse 2005 Les Comtes Red (Premieres Côtes de Bordeaux)

Online Exclusive

Price $36

Huge, rich, flaunting its opulence and ripeness, this super cuvée from Château Lagarosse, powers with black stewed plums, heavy tannins, layers of wood and spice. The acidity saves it from going over the top, but only just. — R.V. (6/1/2009)

Château Lagarosse 2006 Red (Premieres Côtes de Bordeaux)

Online Exclusive

Price $17

Under the ownership of American Stephen Adams, this estate is showing promise. The wine is finely structured, a smoky bacon element mingling well with fresh red plum and firm tannins. The core is dry, solid, showing wood, finishing with vivid minerality and acidity. — R.V. (6/1/2009)

Château Lagarosse 2006 Les Comtes Red (Premieres Côtes de Bordeaux)

Online Exclusive

Price $28

High toast and burnt wood are initially off-putting. The tannins in the wine are also on the smoky side. However, there is fruit here, offering some balance in this powerful, dry wine, and giving some blackberry juiciness, which gives relief from the intensity of the wood. — R.V. (6/1/2009)
