2018 Chateau Lafleur and friends!
.
Now you’re talking. I tasted these wines in barrel and again in bottle and I can safely say, Lafleur is a candidate for wine of the vintage!

2018 Château Ausone, one of the most incredible wines I’ve tasted all year!
.
Speechless sums it up nicely, thought it doesn’t share much to readers. Hopefully this is a bit more helpful. Incredibly dense layers of perfectly ripe, opulent fruits drizzled over rocks and limestone with a non-stop seamless finish!
.
Aromatically and texturally unique, this is a future legendary bottle of wine.
.
We are more than half way finished editing our notes on 800 wines from the 2018 vintage. We will finish later today & post later this afternoon or first thing in the morning.

What well-priced Bordeaux have you tasted lately?
.
Here’s 3 insider tips for you from our upcoming report...
.
One advantage of tasting 800 wines
is finding the gems that offer beautiful wine tasting experiences without costing an arm and a leg.
.
This trio from Emmanuel Cruse is his best yet. Clearly, Château d’Issan from Margaux is their best vintage yet, with its sensuous character.
.
Pedesclaux from Pauillac has started coming around and Lilian Ladouys from Saint Estephe keeps reaching new levels of quality as well.
.
We are publishing notes and scores on 800 wines from 2018 Bordeaux on Monday.

2018 Haut Bailly is about as good as it gets!
.
With the 2018 Haut Bailly, it’s going to be difficult to pick a favorite vintage for the chateau. There are too many success stories to talk about. It’s an embarrassment of riches.
.
Clearly 2018 Haut Bailly has a place next to 2009, 2010, 2015 and 2016, which are all mind-blowing vintages for them. Wines lovers are going to have a lot of fun tasting and debating over which vintage is better over the next 2-3 decades, or longer!
.
We are in the last stage of editing notes on almost 800 wines and will publish this coming week.
.

2018 Palmer is at an entirely new level...

This is an incredible wine tasting experience in every sense of the word. I was blown away in barrel and it didn’t disappoint in bottle. The only problem is finding any. Production is almost 75% less than normal!

2018 Cheval Blanc, 1 taste and you’re hooked!
.
Or in my case, all it took was a simple sniff, swirl and sip, and I was sold. It’s ostentatious, sensual nature will rock even the most jaded hedonist.

Very little Petit Cheval was produced. What there is is worth taking a look at. Their newest baby is their Blanc. Fresh, crisp and bright, it’s a lot fun to taste.
.
We’ve tasted 800 bottles of 2018 Bordeaux. We are in the final editing mode now. Monday everything will be published. Make sure you follow so you never miss a thing.

Vieux Chateau Certan in 2018... . Since 2009, Vieu

Vieux Chateau Certan in 2018...
.
Since 2009, Vieux Chateau Certan has been at the top of the Pomerol hit Parade. It’s like saying Federer won, or Brady picked up another Super Bowl ring.
.
With 18 all the opulence in Pomerol really came through. Plus the Cabernet Franc truly shined. This is one of the great vintages for VCC. If you’re a fan of their wines, 2018 is worth considering.
.
We are close to completing our 2018 report. Next week we will publish our full report with notes and scores on over 800 wines! Make sure you follow me so you never miss a post
