Château Magdelaine 2009 Red (Saint-Emilion)
There is dense, ripe fruit here, although with an austere, serious edge. The wine has firm yet juicy blackberry fruits along with concentrated tannins. It is firm, dark, with the potential for good red berry fruits.

Château Magdelaine 2009 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
93-95 Barrel sample. Big and very dense, serious. The ripe plums go with prunes as well as full fruits. On the surface, it seems smooth, but there is concentrated dark tannin underneath.

Château Magdelaine 2005 Red (Saint-Emilion)
Perhaps not the most open and generous of wines, but in a style that has become typical of Magdelaine, this wears its austerity, tannins and dry core proudly. But, because it is 2005, the wine is deliciously perfumed, and the bright cherry flavors are enticing. For aging over 10 years at least.

Château Magdelaine 2000 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- $87
This Moueix-owned premier grand cru classé property quietly goes about producing great wines. The 2000 is a complete success, with its aromas of red berry fruits and sweet wood, its flavors cedar and truffles alongside the fine, elegant tannins. It will age slowly and reveal layers of complexity over the years.

Château Magdelaine 2004 Red (Saint-Emilion)
- $69
A hugely rich, concentrated wine for 2004, packed with ripe black plums and berries. This is a great success, with dry tannins balanced by delicious sweet fruit, finishing with a fresh, currant fruit aftertaste.

Château Magdelaine 2005 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
91-93 Barrel sample. Initially, this wine seems very soft, the ripe fruit just floating. But it is all suppressed at this stage, and suddenly you taste the tannins and the power that is held back.
