Drank 1/18/19 at the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux event in Miami.  All wines from the 2016 Vintage.

Tasting pour, no formal notes taken.  Most of these wines are very tight, and will require 5-15 years to really come together.  Many will likely improve a few points with time.

Meh...a bit disappointing. The nose is good but the taste somewhat thin. I think this is probably just extremely tight and needing time but i have doubts it will ever be excellent

It was fine but very underwhelming for the price. Light and with no tannins, would never peg it as a Bordeaux if tasted blind.

This is a rating of the kosher version. Good Bordeaux, though nothing special. Expensive for what it is, but still one of the best kosher wines. A little young to open now.
