2008 Bordeaux: Told you so……
This past UGC tasting was very quiet in Bordeaux compared to years past ….. there were very few American’s present. But, we went as we did last year and the year before because it’s our job… bad economy or not. When we tasted the wines, we were surprised by the quality and came back and told you so. Now, you have proof with Parker’s reviews. What we will promise is that we will do our best to get you the top wines at the lowest price possible. What the Bordelaise do from here is a mystery….. Stay tuned.

Seems like Parker rated this vintage as high or higher than 2000, thats just nuts. Even though prices are down, they are still higher than 01 and 04. Now arguably the exchange rate in 01 was better for the dollar, but not for 04. Prices aren’t delusional, but they are certainly not bargains.
