Bordeaux 2009 video preview
March 18, 2010
I am getting ready to go to Bordeaux, and am rather excited because it was such a wonderful harvest, the wines should taste well. This will be my 7th visit to Bordeaux to taste the wines from barrel. As you can see in the video below, I am not sure that 2009 will surpass 2005 in overall quality, but it may prove to be a more sumptuous vintage for some wines: overall warm weather, great potential for ripening may lead to very rich wines. We shall see! Please check out my harvest chronicle post, which is a day by day account of my visit to Bordeaux in late September-early October 2009 towards the end of the harvest.
Panos, I really like your videos! The captions are amusing while very informative too. I just added your site to my fav’s.
Thanks so much Jeff! Appreciate that! Now, I just need to get more tasting notes on this website, and organise the photos better – too many spaces that make no sense.
