Mähler-Besse 2008 Château d’Arche Red (Haut-Médoc)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $25
A finely balanced wine, its tannins showing the influence of Cabernet Sauvignon along with its signature black currant flavors. There is also weight and an attractive plumper character that broadens the wine, surrounding the tannins with sweet berry fruits.

Mähler-Besse 2007 Château d’Arche Red (Haut-Médoc)
- $25
A firm, spicy wine, its fruit and tannins showing the character of the vintage, but also with some weight. The tannins are dense rather than hard and the berry fruits are juicy, but manage to keep high acidity at bay. A success.

Mähler-Besse 2008 Château la Couronne Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Dark in color, with a series of herbal aromas, this is dense and rich, with fine layers of berry fruits and solid tannins. It has a definite fresh character, with juicy fruit and acidity playing against the dry texture.

Mähler-Besse 2008 Château Cheval Noir Red (Saint-Emilion)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
Firmly structured, this is a significant improvement on 2007, with the wood kept in play but not dominant. That’s because the fruit is so bright, with juicy berries bubbling along, leaving refreshing acidity at the end.

Mähler-Besse 2007 Blavia Red (Premieres Côtes de Bordeaux)
- $16
A selection of the best cuvées creates a wine that has some weight and density, although the extreme juiciness gives fresh black currant flavors. The tannins are present, but soft.

Mähler-Besse 2008 Blavia Red (Premieres Côtes de Blaye)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Plenty of dense texture here, derived from a liberal use of wood. That gives spice to the black berry fruit and bitter chocolate extract. In two years, this will be showing well.

Mähler-Besse 2007 Château la Couronne Red (Saint-Emilion)
- $24
A firm but fresh wine, the black currant fruit flavors right to the fore. Tannins are solid, dry, but fit well with the fruit profile. There is final fresh acidity.
— R.V.

Mähler-Besse 2007 Arte Red (Bordeaux)
- $16
Attractive, simple Bordeaux, its acidity kept nicely in check by bright black berry fruits, some sweet tannins and a well- judged amount of wood. For drinking now.
