A week in Bordeaux (Mouton, Pontet Canet, D'Issan, Langoa & Leoville Barton, SHL, Arbo, Pavie, Fleur de Bouard, Cheval Blanc, VCC, Figeac); 5/21/2023-5/26/2023 (Left and Right banks of Bordeaux): Tasted @ Chateau. Opened 45 min before our tasting. Quite frankly was surprised this was as good as it was given the crappy vintage. It was poured alongside the '16 and I only scored it 2 points less. Elegant nice wine, fully resolved tannins and drinking pretty well!

Wet earth, forest floor and plums open to a fresh chocolate and cherry center that finishes with sweet, dark and spicy berries. 90-92 Pts
2013 editon of En Primeur - Kelly and Kevin’s excellent adventure; 3/26/2014-4/1/2014 (Mostly in Bordeaux and a night in Paris): Blue fruits, crushed blueberries, blueberry jam, mineral, iron and a hint of green. Good concentration, chewy and good length.
