Everything about 2016 Bordeaux, Barrel Tasting Notes, Scores, Reviews, Ratings, Blends, Harvest Reports and Vintage Information
2016 Pessac Leognan might be the least consistent appellation in this vintage. But there are several stunning wines this year, and a few estates made the best wine in the history of the property!
If you love, like or are just curious about what a great wine from Pauillac is, run, do not walk and buy some of the 2016 Pauillac wines. The vintage here is breathtaking, from top to bottom! In fact, this is the best vintage ever encountered in Pauillac!
The 2016 Margaux appellation is not quite at the same level as the other worldly 2015, but for many chateaux, it is quite close. The wines are elegant, stylish and everything you want from a Margaux wine.
2016 St. Julien is close to the pinnacle for this appellation. The wines are full bodied, rich, seductive and powerful, yet, refined, elegant and even sexy. The level of quality is great from top to bottom here, this year!
If you’re a fan of St. Estephe, 2016 Bordeaux wines are going to knock you out! From top to bottom, these are great wines, with true, character, style, vibrance and the ability to age, and at all price points!
One of the key benefits to 2016 Bordeaux wines is how many vineyards produced great wine, especially in the Left Bank. Haut Medoc and Medoc are large appellations, with varied terroir, but with care, you can find some great wines for fair prices!
2016 Bordeaux is the best overall vintage since 2010. But that’s not the whole story. The best wines are made in an undeniably, great style. But there’s a lot more to the story this year.
