Wow, what a report! I can imagine how Léo Barton + 2019 must be stunning!
I opened a 2019 last night too, and it was great too. Will report on a different thread.

Re: I am mad. I am a madman.

But on the other hand, i’m really proud of you, coming back in the right path, chasing some 2016 instead of 2019. Finally, these 18 bottles 2016 Lafite will go well with your reserve of 18 bottles of THE wine...

2021 Leon Boesch sylvaner
The less heralded grape sylvaner, can give good results in Alsace. Like this one. The 2021 Leon Boesch Pierres Rouges Sylvaner. Clear light yellow, wit a nice rich or sweet nose of spicy lemon, peaches, geranium flowers and litchis. Remind me more a Gewurztraminer. In mouth, bitter flower bud, peach...

2021 Domaine les Garçons Brouilly
Wines of Beaujolais are better than ever since the last 10-15 years. It is an area where there are still many vinegrowers and winemakers trying their chance, and results are sometimes excellent. I read the two men that started Domaine les Garçons did their first vintage in 2019 or 2020. 2021 was a c...

My problem is that MC doesn’t want to drink red wine no more, especially concentrated red wine. Last night, she had 2-3 glasses of Les Barnabés… there is some hope.

Re: The solution for Saint Émilion?
Of course GBF, i exaggerate a bit and there are many good wines in St Émilion, the two Beauséjour are among them.
But i don’t know from which vineyard or mix of vineyards is coming, but i thought it was great, kind of link to Ausone style, complex, classic, no glossy, over ripe or too oaky tones.

La Lagune being not far from Margaux, i thought the 2015 is a very solid wine.
Did not had the 2020, but the only 2020 i had was very fruity too, it was the Le Gay at the 2021 UGC inMontréal. Itvwas a mistake and Le Gay presented it 2020 to the tasters, instead of the 2021.
