A great meal. Tasted some extraordinary wines. I could not give the deserved attention to some of the wine hence some of the reviews. The stars for me were Chateau Smith Lafite and Vieux Telegraph CDP.
2015 Château Smith Haut Lafitte 95 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
Powerful wine, tannic and needs more time, great complex fruit flavors, intense, 14.5% abv, drank with lamb and filet mignon, would drink again.

Did not impress, seemed past its prime, tasted thin in the mid range, tasted with a number of other wines, maybe i missed something. Drank with lamb and filet mignon, would try again.
