...one of the aspects I particularly love about this vintage is its ability to clearly communicate terroir. When you taste the wines, they do not so much scream 2016—as you make get with a 2009 or 2010—but they do want to tell you where they come from.” -Lisa Perrotti-Brown of The Wine Advocate

The wine critics all state that the 2016 vintage will go down as a classic, in our humble opinion, we completely agree. So many of the 2016 Bordeaux we have tasted are nothing short of stunning. On the low-end, the wines have lovely plush fruit, similar to 2015, but with a bit more structure; many needing to open up and unwind. The middle tier Chateaus are clearly over-achieving, showing depth, character, and persistence far beyond their price point. While the classified growths are inspiring, with the potential to age gloriously for many years to come.

This is not a vintage to miss, try a few and you will see. When you find one you like, stock up for vintages like this do not come often.
