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.

More red fruit on this one, very elegant, but I dont necessarily understand the huge critical acclaim. A fantastic wine nonetheless.

It’s good but off from the rest of the vintage. A little flat
