January 21, 2019 - Zachys Grands Crus de Bordeaux 2016 (New York City, NY): Nothing that deserves to be in the company of the wine tonight. Rough and closed wine. Tannin and acidity are totally unbalanced. Quite unripened picked fruit.

Also I do not believe that the vendors who poured the wine gave this bottle the proper amount of breathing time. Literally PNP.
