UNION DES GRANDS CRUS DE BORDEAUX

On the 6th of February it was time again for the Bordeaux producers to present their wines of the millesime 2015.

In an earlier post you can see my impressions of this years production although the wines ware still in barriques or tanks. I had the impression that the wines ware very good but ware lacking some content.

Now the wines are ready for commercialisation for the public I'm happy to see my impressions came trough.

Overall of the producers present the wines are very good but only a few I can say are great, to bad some ware not capable to make wines that are good enough for this kind of year,

I can understand it is not easy in a difficult year to produce great wines but one can't say this year was difficult. A mistake by the owner or enologist?

Also it is amazing to see the big difference of quality from some neighbours producers. Some are very good but some are really great.

My final thoughts are that we have mostly beautiful and early drinkable wines and I would like to compare them to the style and difference of the years 2009 and 2010. 2015 very smooth and next year (2016) really great.
