The best wines of the vintage are not reliant on concentration. Instead, they focus on elegance, finesse and charm. The top 2019 Margaux wines are extremely aromatic. You find loads of floral scents, silky tannins and sexy, sensuous textures with a gorgeous sense of purity in the fruits as well.
Diamond Creek Vineyards, one of the most iconic brands in Napa Valley sold to Louis Roederer in a surprising transaction.
2017 Chateauneuf du Pape is a vintage marked by drought. Most growers experienced low yields, but good quality in a very fine style can be found all over the appellation.
2018 Bordeaux is not only about the most famous wines. If you know where to look, there are numerous value wines selling for under $35 with character, style and the ability to age and evolve.
2018 Saint Julien should win an award for the most consistent appellation of the 2018 Bordeaux vintage. From top to bottom, every wine is beautiful and a few wines are stunning!
The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape is a strong contender for the best vintage the appellation has ever produced! The wines are extraordinary. They are elegant, complex, fresh, sensuous and richly textured, with great purity of fruit. These wines belong in your cellar!
2017 is another strong vintage of the delicious, sweet white wines of Bordeaux. Better in Sauternes than Barsac, and better than many of the red wines from the vintage, there are several strong wines worth looking at.
