Community Tasting Note

• watcheslover Likes this wine: 100 points

  February 3, 2019 - Incroyable vin au niveau du Montrose 2016 et un cran au dessus du Cos d'Estournel. D'ailleurs Jeff Lewe ne s'y est pas trompé ni Jacques Perrin (cavesa, Suisse) A noter que ces 2 dégustateurs ont gagnés les 2 premières places du concours Liv-Ex qui récompensait les professionnels donnant en primeurs les notes les plus proches des notes finales en bouteilles. Loin devant Neal Martin ou autre James Suckling. A mon avis, ceux qui donnent une note aux alentours de 95 à ce vin ont encore un peu de chemin à faire... De toute façon, à ce prix, il reste d'un rapport qualité prix fabuleux et cela, personne ne peut le contester

  7/24/19, 7:29 AM - I gave it 95 points :) I think the difference is that professional critics do rightly judge a wine not only based on what it is right now but also on what the wine will be one day. Lucky for us consumer, they do that! But I myself here on Cellartracker (as stated in my profile) as well as a lot of others do rate the wines mostly on the current drinking experience (of course the potential can add a + or one or the other point to the rating sometimes). With that in mind I think that my 95+ point rating and your 100 point rating might not be so far apart from eachother. Because you certainly also included the potential of the wine into your rating (as I doubt that it drinks as a 100 point wine today, too young, still some rough edges).
