Why I’m giving Bordeaux 2006 a miss
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007I’ve got Bordeaux fatigue.
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love most of the 2005’s I’ve tried so far. I’ve got a load booked en primeur to come later this year. I’ve bought 2004, 2003 and 2000, all of which have so far impressed me.
But after so many years of exceptional, extraordinary, legendary, once in a lifetime, holy grail, once in a several millennia, best ever vintages, to hear 2006 described by most people as “patchy” is an opportunity to take a breather and give my poor wallet a rest.
So everyone who is currently sending me invitations to “invest” en primeur in 2006, please save your paper. For a “patchy” vintage the prices are too high and the risk of disappointment too great in my opinion.
I might well buy 2006 Bordeaux once it is released but I won’t be investing in bond.
Stumble It!
