Harvest 2022

NEW! Profile of Ducru Beaucaillou just published - 32 vintages from 2021 back to 1946 reviewed.

1. Two weeks in Bordeaux in April 2022 to taste the 2021 vintage from the barrel. A review of 300+ tasted barrel samples - "2021 BORDEAUX FROM BARREL" in "VINTAGES." 

2. Impressions from visiting Bordeaux in November 2021 - "2021 Bordeaux visits" in "VINTAGES." Additional TNs from barrel samples of 2020 vintage tasted in Bordeaux - "2020 FROM BARREL", in "VINTAGES."

3. 2019 vintage in the bottle - TNs on 85 wines tasted in Bordeaux in November 2021, plus TNs on 120+ wines tasted in Copenhagen during January-March 2022, several in Bordeaux in April 2022, and Copenhagen in November 2022. All were published in "2019 BARREL/BOTTLE" in "VINTAGES." 

4. I've added a small Burgundy & Beaujolais chapter in the "menu." It includes impressions from Burgundy tastings/tasting dinners attended since November 2018 and impressions of tasted wines from Beaujolais' best winegrowers. Well-needed to widen one's wine horizon, and mine was indeed widened when I tasted Morgon Cote du Puy in April 2022 from five producers in vintages 2018 and 2019, and top cuveés from the same producers in mostly 2019 vintage were tasted in June 2022. Tasting notes were published in September 2022.

5. I also post tasting notes to an excellent website by Pekka Nuikki from Finland. It's www.tastingbook.com, where I have 11.650+ followers and 3.000+ tastings notes published as of mid-February 2023. Tastingbook.com users have voted me as nr. 24 in the 2022 "The best wine critic in the world" competition.
