If these owners do the same work as the more expensive properties, why do the wines sell for a lot less money? The easiest way to look at this is, think about zip codes. People pay more for property in Beverly Hills or Manhattan that they do in the suburbs.
2000 Margaux is a rock star! Intense aromatics. Perfectly polished layers of pure, ripe fruit fill every nook and cranny of your mouth with velvet like textures. Life is too short not to taste this wine and hopefully have at least a few bottles of it in your cellar. 100 Pts
The style of vintage is impressive. The wines are ripe, round, balanced and concentrated with quality fruit and in most cases silky tannins. The wines have the structure to age and evolve for decades.
2008 will probably be best known as the last afforable, high quality vintage for Bordeaux wine. Outstanding wines were produced from both the Left Bank and the Right Bank.
2008 is a strong vintage for Bordeaux wine. The wines delivering the most excitement come from Pomerol. For consumers, 2008 remains the best opportunity to purchase high quality Bordeaux for reasonable prices in the marketplace today.
82 and 86 Mouton Rothschld garners the attention today. But in the future, collectors will want 2006 Mouton Rothschild in their cellars as well. It’s the current vintage of Mouton to own.
We do not have many rules. However, all wines are always served double blind in peer groups. We do allow an exception when it comes to white wines. By tradition, (which was probably caused by a lack of white wines in our cellars,) whites do not need to be served in proper peer groups.
