Bordeaux 2008 and 2009
I had the privilege of visiting Bordeaux in September 2009. The 2008 vintage turned out to be much better than expected. The great chateaux probably deserve a great-perfect score. Every property suggested that the 2009 would be even better if the weather held up. Petrus, Canon La Gaffeliere, Figeac, Latour, Haut Brion, Margaux, among others let us eat ripe Merlot grapes.
