2006 Bordeaux....

[andrawes76]

Engineer, I am in fact buying them, but conservatively. I couldn't believe that La Mission HB was released that high, but I did hear from a good friend that he felt that Margaux and Mission HB were the two best wines produced in 2009. He was disappointed with Ausone and Petrus.

There's a lot of inter-negociant fighting and consolidation going on as it often does in rock star vintages. It's not a healthy environment over there and things do need to change, but you know at the end of the day I am not going to allow that to affect my love for French wines, however I've certainly got an affection for good Napa juice. Drinking Bordeaux is becoming a luxury good ONLY for the ultra-wealthy which may account for .5% of the total population so eventually wine prices will need to adjust.

Just my 2 cents... Hope you guys are all doing well! New site is coming in a couple days...
