Theses wines are not cheap but they represent good value

I return to Bordeaux again this week after a fascinating recent vertical tasting and also because the wine world is full of talk of the potential of the 2016 vintage thanks to the recent en-primeur tastings.

Lynne Coyle MW of O’Briens Wines believes 2016 is a left-bank year with the wines St Émilion more varied. In the Médoc she found very good consistency in St-Julien, Saint-Estephe and in Margaux.
