Community Tasting Note

• Sundbyberg wrote: 92 points

  May 27, 2023 - Napa evening with one bottle of Bordeaux (semiblind):
  
  2016 Dunn Howell Mountain: A bit thin, lacking power. I have only had the 2013 before, but it was better. Wait 5 years or so: 92 pts.
  2017 Beringer Private Reserve: A really good wine with depth and seductive fruit, without being over the top. 95 pts
  2018 Gallica - I really liked the 2008 but the 2018 was just so-so: 91 pts
  2019 Chateau Issan: Not convincing. Loved the 2018 but the 2019 did not deliver. 90 pts.
  
  All bottles were opened 5 days in advance and then decanted before dinner. They all improved during our dinner.
