2018 Château Talbot

Open and drinking exceptionally. Black fruits, berry and cherry. Floral notes emerge with air. Primary but well worth drinking now if you have a few bottles. Silky smooth and precise. Perhaps noted a little heat on opening but didn’t seem to notice after 2 hours of air. One of the best 18s I’ve had.

2018 Château Léoville Barton

Generous dark fruited nose and palate that is ripe, but not overdone, and concentrated with a refreshing acidic backbone to complement the generous fine tannins that unsurprisingly have a bit of grip. Well balanced. Tasted over a week with the last day being the best. Definitely will get better with bottle age.

2015 Château Troplong Mondot

Wow. Dark black and blue fruit shows promise. Palate smacks of overextraction and unbalance. Definitely a fair bit of alcohol that is noticeable and off putting. More of an unrefined Cali style. Not a fan and the contrast with the 16 would make you think the wines were made by different Chateau.
