Re: Day out in Pessac-Léognan (13 châteaux)
Alex from what i've read up to date on Pessac Leognan, the region did especially well in 2016. Did you find consistency tasting any 2016 wines in the region during your recent trip?

thank you for the reminder. picked up the Repour for the first time. if it really does what it advertises it will save me from trashing a good amount of wine as my wife rarely consumes any alcohol

is there a way to see the inventory of 2016 Bordeaux that NH carries? i'm tempted to add to a few 2016's now especially the Sociano, but may hold off is NH has it in stock and i can certainly wait to August to acquire them. no plan to drink them any time soon.

Your plea for exemption at this level may not be an appropriate venue. 63 Santi is almost holy. I will leave this to the BD, but its very possible that the Vatican may need to render this decision.

Here's what's interesting. Sociando is only trading 30% more than what we paid in 1999-2000 for the 1996...That is very fair pricing given 20 years of built in inflation...Even at 3% compounded per year, the wine costs less in terms of purchasing power today than it did 20 years ago.

Recently commented on the 99 Quinault L'Enclos. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. The 2000 seems to share some of the characteristics of the 99 and I dont find chocolate and layered fruit a bad thing. The 99 didn't have the stewed qualities and I'll be looking for more at auction if I come across any
