  Tasting of 4 Bordeaux for New year’s Eve: Clos Badon 2010, Virginie Thunevin 2015, Grand Puy Ducasse 2009 and Fonbel 2015. Clos Badon and Virginie really stood out. Both 92-93 wines. They have excellent classic cassis, tobacco and black fruits flavors. The Virginie has the most lovely cassis nose, the Badon is a little richer in the mouth. Both are at their peak I guess.
  The Grand Puy Ducasse is an 88-89 wine, more austere, very classic. It has less fruits than the first two. The Fonbel is Ok but not exceptional 87-88. Much better than a few years ago but I don’t think it will be a 90+ wine.

  An interesting tasting of three Bordeaux: Clos Badon 2010, Grand-Puy-Ducasse 2010 and Garraud 2011. The best was the Clos Badon(92) with a lot of ripe fruits and richness. The second best was the GPD (91) with black fruits and dark chocolate flavors. The Garraud was more evolved with less fruit, graphite and milk chocolate finish (90)

  This wine seems to get better with time. What a great St-Émilion for the price.
