The tastings have begun and the noises so far seem positive. Perhaps a vintage for those who like a more opulent style though - talk of 15% ABVs on the right bank and some coming in as high as 15.5%.
FWIW Jean-Marc Quarin is raving:
“80% of the wines I have tasted are the best the estates have ever made”.
“the sumptuous smoothness of 1959, the tannic power of 1961. Forget all about 2003 and 1982!”
