2016 Bordeaux Values Tasting
featuring
Amela Zeba-Sarac (DWS), Twins Negociant
“Perhaps the best news for consumers is that 2016 is the most consistently great year since 2009 and 2010, both at the top of the market and in terms of good value wines. What really kicks 2016 up a notch from 2015 and into the realms of 2005, 2009 and 2010 is the consistency of greatness across Bordeaux. Particularly impressive is the tannin ripeness, complexity and balance apparent in so many 2016 wines, especially when you consider that the grapes were able to achieve all this at moderate alcohol levels.” Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2016 vintage in Bordeaux is widely recognized as one of the finest in this century, drawing comparisons to the classic wines of 2009 and 2010 and even surpassing the impressive 2015s. As with all classic vintages, the hallmark of 2016 is not only the heights achieved by the Classified Growths, but the wonderful depth of quality that extends to the Petite Chateau as well.
