Bordeaux wine can be a funny thing. First of all, when the vintages are great, the wines are amazing. When the vintages are poor, the wines can be unremarkable. But when the vintages are merely good, the wines are often forgotten. And that’s really a shame, since the latter can deliver solid quality at a good price — plus it gives the consumer something to enjoy while waiting for the more monolithic wines from stellar vintages to age.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a way to taste through a variety of Bordeaux wines from one vintage to the next at a single session so that one could try samples and compare wines from each region? It would be even better if you had the ability to meet and listen to the winemakers or chateaux representatives to get their perspective. And it would be positively a fantasy if the world’s foremost Bordeaux wine critic were guiding you along.
