    Overview of Bordeaux 2015 vintage  / 2015 has been said to be another outstanding vintage after 2009 and 2010. I was in Bordeaux for the past two weeks to taste the En Primeur wines and have got some ideas about the vintage. Before going in depth into each region/ winery, I’d like to compare 2014 with 2015 vintage in general.

    2014 is a vintage that people may easily forget- not because of the challenging weather like 2013, but because of th...

    2015 Bordeaux Report- Margaux Success

    Margaux region enjoyed the best weather in the left bank in 2015 vintage. They had similar weather as like Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, and didn't get that much rainfall as like in northern Medoc. Grapes were fully ripened with plenty of concentration, complexity and freshness. Unfortunately, I did not have time to go to UGCB tasting this year and so the number of wines tasted this year especially in Medo...

    Me

    Born and grew up in Hong Kong and now living in Finland. Started the road to wines six years ago by accompanying one of my best friends to study WSET. Since then, wines have been filling up all kinds of moments of my life, for sharing, happiness, sadness, celebrations, and memories.

    For me, drinking wines is an attitude and lifestyle. I enjoy to have a glass of wine serving with food. In my opinion, every bottle of wine has its own life no ...

Winnie Wing-Yin Ng , Wine Writer (Finland)  had a tasting of  44 Wines  from  37 Producers 

"Now is time to consolidate all the reviews from the En Primeur tasting after spending two weeks Bordeaux tasting wines from different regions. I will first write about the Right Bank which is said to be the winner of the vintage because of the beautifully ripened Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and of course because of lower rainfall compared to the Left Bank during the harvest season.

Pomerol is a true beauty in 2015 with consistence among the top wineries, possessing very fine tannin and freshness in the combination of just-at-the-right-time-ripened grapes. Even the alcohol level was comparatively high, most of the wines I tasted that didn't give me a strong kick of that. I didn't find any over extraction or over ripened situation in most of the wines.
