Out of curiosity, what are your top three Bordeaux properties? Whether it is for QPR or simply quality.
And to be fair, let's remove a) first growths (incl cheval blanc and petrus); b) pontet canet; c) lynch bages; and d) la lagune (the last one only applies to stefan).
Mine would probably be: La Mission Haut Brion, Gruaud Larose, Sociando Mallet
It's quite hard to choose as there are a lot of contenders.

I should abstain, but....
Pichon Lalande, Calon Segur, du Tertre. But tomorrow my choices might be completely different.

Thanks! I made my first pilgrimage to Bordeaux in May and went knee deep into 2015 futures. I figure this board would be a good way to further my addiction

Indeed, I can connect at least 90% of my greatest wine experience directly or indirectly to BWE. Of course I also attribute a lot of purchases too...

Hard to chose, my choices are based on what I have consumed and don't include any vintages in the current century.
Pichon Lalande
Mission Haut Brion
Gruaud Larose

Gotta split it between right and left banks
La Mission
Leoville Las Cases
Pichon Lalande
Angelus (if you're not allowing this since it's technically a 1st growth now, then l'Evangile)
La Conseillante
La Fleur Petrus

If we did this exercise for wines from the 80's, my list would be:
Left Bank: Pichon Lalande (terrific in 80-83, 85-86, 88-89), Gruaud Larose (terrific in 82-83, 85-86, good in 88-89), Rausan Segla (terrific in 82-83, 85-86, excellent in 88-89)
Right Bank: Canon (love the 82-83, 85-86, 89), l'Evangile (always great), Conseillante (the 1989 is a legend)
