It would be a good option Nicolas on September this year…

I had a great bottle with Stuart last August and the wine was still young and fabulous.

Re: Throwing a rock in 2021 d’Armailhac lake

For 2021, As you I prefer both Milon. Clerc milon was very Serious and Pauillac but I prefer Duhart, more complexe, serious but more fruity, dark berries, softer tannins.

Duhart was also on my second favorite group of 2021

I tasted both Cantemerle and Nameless wine but Nameless wine was way better, very Classic, good complexity. I should say that one of the wine who represent pretty well the 2021 Bordeaux...
