Overall, the wines were consistently of high quality, excellent typicity, and ridiculous price. When I think about how the 2001 Latour could be exchanged for over a case and a half of Corison's '95 York Creek Meritage, I wonder why anyone buys classified-growth Bordeaux anymore.
How I felt about the wines:
Around 9.5
-2000 Pontet-Canet (5th) $150
Between 9 and 9.5
-1995 l'Evangile $170
-2000 Brane-Cantenac (2nd) $139
-2000 Leoville-Poyferre (2nd) $230
-2010 Pontet-Canet (5th) $280
-1995 d'Yquem $250
Around 9
-1990 Grand Mayne $120
-2010 Lynch-Bages (5th) $170
-2001 Latour $475
Around 8.5
-2000 l'Avocat Graves Blanc
Flawed bottle
-2000 Kirwan (3rd) $100
2013 Château L'Avocat Blanc 85 Points
France, Bordeaux, Graves
Fresh, slightly grassy, slight impression of cheese rind (lees). A bit richer than you'd expect from Sancerre. No overt oak. Very nice - slightly mineral but mostly fairly simple. Fresh and light.
Score: around 8.5
