Bordeaux 2018 In Bottle Review

2018 was originally described as the “miracle” vintage because of the mixed growing season. Goedhuis Buying Director, David Roberts MW called 2018 “high class… it is a year when the human element was so very important. The best wines will stand the test of time with an amazing life ahead of them” Fast forward to 2022 and David happily reported back from the recent Southwold tasting. Moreover, these weren’t just the usual bevy of First Growths, but some real gems across the board.
