The Wines

I was originally going to serve these wines blind, but it seemed too hard, and I’m glad I didn’t as I don’t think we would have learned much. While there was no absolutely stellar wine in the group, each flight had its standouts. One of the biggest surprises to me was the quality of the 66 Leoville. It was also the best 70 BVGDLTPR I’ve had in a long time.
