Grand Cru Classe de Graves Pessac Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend

Drank 1/18/19 at the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux event in Miami.  All wines from the 2016 Vintage.

Tasting pour, no formal notes taken.  Most of these wines are very tight, and will require 5-15 years to really come together.  Many will likely improve a few points with time.

2016 vintage. Decanted (with little sed) and tasted after 1.5 hours and 3 hours. Medium body. In a state of transition currently. Holding back a bit and has lost that tail-wagging exuberance along with some of the supple qualities of youth. Feel like this wine is on a side quest and will return to the fold in the next 3-5 years. 10.11.25.

Meh...a bit disappointing. The nose is good but the taste somewhat thin. I think this is probably just extremely tight and needing time but i have doubts it will ever be excellent

It was fine but very underwhelming for the price. Light and with no tannins, would never peg it as a Bordeaux if tasted blind.

Gorgeous wine.

This is a rating of the kosher version. Good Bordeaux, though nothing special. Expensive for what it is, but still one of the best kosher wines. A little young to open now.
