2009 Bordeaux, Wednesday, August 15, 2012 $85.00 Looking at the "Mythical" 2009 Vintage Affordable Collectables from a Very Expensive Year - THIS IS A REPEAT OF THE MAY 9TH CLASS. We had alot of demand for this the first time around, so we are presenting an encore class. You have probably heard the monumental hype. The overwhelming excitement surrounding this vintage is unprecedented. Renowned critic Robert Parker recently has said of the 2009 vintage "After spending nearly two weeks there at the end of January, this is unquestionably the greatest Bordeaux vintage I have ever tasted." That is a bold statement and he reiterated it in February of this year. Now that many of the wines are here, this is your opportunity to get a glimpse of the vintage through your taste buds and to judge for yourself. Because of this unparalleled hype (and that is really saying something when it comes to Bordeaux!) and world wide demand, prices have dramatically risen on the 2009's. A new car can cost less than a case of many of these wines. Join Wine House Bordeaux Specialist Scott Ripton as we try to find the real value in this vintage, focusing on the wines that are not all hype and status. Only 18 seats are available for this special tasting! Some of the wines that will be tasted include: 2009 Chateau Branaire Ducru Saint Julien (Robert Parker 96 points) 2009 Chateau Larcis Ducasse Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classé (R.P. 96 points) 2009 Vieux Chateau Certan Pomerol (R.P. 99 points! Wine Spectator 97 points) 2009 Chateau Leoville Barton Saint Julien (R.P. 93+points, W.S. 95 points!) 2009 Chateau Moulin St Georges Saint Emilion Grand Cru (Owned by the Vaultier Family-Same as Chateau Ausone!) 2009 Palmer "Alter Ego" Margaux (2nd Wine of Chateau Palmer!) and more!! |  | | | |
