"Some Amazing Wines"
"I was really excited to tasted the 2015 Bordeaux from barrel over three weeks in Bordeaux beginning March 15. Some amazing wines exist. The best appellations are Pomerol, St. Emilion, Pessac-Léognan, and Margaux, but there are lots of smaller appellations that excelled including Lalande-de-Pomerol and Fronsac. But the top châteaux in the Médoc also made some excellent quality wines despite problems with rain before the harvest and at the end."

"2015 is an excellent vintage. Across the region, the wines do not possess the consistency demonstrated by 2009 or 2010 at this stage, though you could argue that it might pip the quality of 2005 due to subsequent advances in technology and know-how. Certainly, I cannot remember the 2005s displaying such fine tannin, although they did show more density and structure out of barrel."
