Enjoyed all thoroughly for very different reasons…Lagier Meredith has a ton of character, textbook mountain fruit and structure… Andremily while big shows great balance…Tour St. Christophe may be my favorite value Merlot play along with La Fleur Morange Mathilde…Schrader started out a bit blocky but settled down…W&M was like drinking velvet…Hudson scratched the big oaky Chard itch, sorta reminds me of Kongsgaard…Bedrock Old Hill was flat out delicious…Vieux Mazerat while too rich most years for me is delicious in a tamer year like 2014…Ceretto was starting to pick up a little rim variation but was very floral with great acidity…Einaudi was a beast great fruit and tannin just starting to see a really good drinking window.
…not sure how I was so late on Cabot train but balanced and savory at same time…Bedrock OVZ was great with Turkey and is one of the great values in red wine, period.
