BORDEAUX 2018 is a GREAT VINTAGE
That’s pretty straight forward – but allow me to clarify. Over my forty-plus year career in the wine business, my tasting experience with Bordeaux with a broad number of top properties goes back as far as 1959 (which was both a great vintage and my birth year so I have had ample opportunities to taste and drink those wines). While I have tasted numerous Bordeaux wines from before 1959, I am most comfortable with 1959 and forward. So I’ll state that 2018 is the “best vintage” of my lifetime – which is a pretty bold statement given 1959, 1961, 1966, 1970, 1982, 1989, 1990,1995, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2015, and 2016, all of which are great vintages. So how can I single out 2018 as the best of that span, especially given the lack of hype for 2018? Glad you asked. (Read More)

Wow ! Bold statement. Look forward to reading through. Have been partial to 82’s. Loved 83 Sauternes.
The Bordeauxlaise have a saying about my birthyear…
‘The only problem with the 62’s is the 61’s !’

Bear,
Any chance I can get a few minutes of your time to talk about and buy a case if 2018? I’m not looking for first growth, but for something affordable and decent.
Congratulations! That is a really good article.
