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.

2016 vintage. Always understated style. Lean throughout. Light-medium body with dedicated, yet delicate, push. Distinctive producer. Enduring delivery currently. Obviously not for everyone but for those that get it, borders on obsession. Mushrooms. Drying earth. Light cedar. Cassis. Subdued sandalwood. Very close to being the Burgundy of St. Julien. Last tasted 9.20.21 and scored same. 3.16.24.

2016 vintage. Decent but undistinguished nose. Light/medium body. Comes on like a freight train of concentrated flavors with a tremendously sleek and polished finish. Drinking beautifully now but no rush.

Pair of 16’s tonight. This had black fruits that was inky with notes of graphite, smoke, forest floor & tobacco.

$54.98 & Total Wine. 2nd Growth. A bit sweet. Medium bodied. Needs more age, will be great.
