The tasting was last night and I really enjoyed it. Showed what a tremendous amount of value is available in Bordeaux wine. Of course, my two favorites were the D’Issan 2020 ($72) and the Leoville Baron 2020 ($103.20), which were classified wines and were fabulous. However, below these wines were a number of really nice wines at fabulous prices.
At one table, they had Ormes de Pez 2019 ($32) and Meyney 2018 ($36). Not sure where one can get Cabernet based wines of this quality anywhere else in the world. Among my other favorites were Pichon Baron “Les Tourelies de Longueville” 2018 ($44), Les Carmes Haut Brion “Le C des Carmes Haut-Brion” 2019 ($30.39). Then, the steal of the evening was Mauvesin Barton 2019, a wine from Moulis now owned by the Barton family of Leoville Barton and Langoa Barton, that is on sale to $20. Not a great wine, but very, very enjoyable for the price.
For the whites, I enjoyed the Larrivet Haut Brion 2020 ($48) and, at a lower price, Chantegrive "Caroline 2019 ($24). And, of course I like Doisy-Daene, a very elegant Barsac, for ($24 a half bottle).
