2016 Les Carmes Haut-Brion. Second glass coravined for my wife and I over burgers at home (first glasses were 30 days ago). Deep red fruit and crunchy soil. Very high toned green stem and whole cluster nose, nothing like a Bordeaux, again, like the winemaker’s Rhone roots. Next glass in another 30 days…94/100

Coravin pour at home. Interesting and slightly unusual Bordeaux given the whole cluster. You get your usual Pessac redcurrant and coffee along with high-toned green stemmy notes not unlike Northern Rhone. Still a bit tight. 94+

Vinous Icons of Bordeaux with Neal Martin (Legacy Records, New York City): Bright red fruit, beautiful acidity. Light on its feet but with plenty of flavor depth. Licorice and coffee on the finish. 60% whole cluster (unusual for Bordeaux)

G. Pouthier elected best winemaker in France!!! in front of Leroy, Romanée Conti, Petrus, Figeac.....
I'm very proud of him and of me too, since I've been advising people to jump on all their bottles since 2014 anyway! I'll put the link below. And advise you once again to buy, especially the 2022 and 2016, the winemaker's favorites and mine too
