  • Vintage Notes
    VINTAGE NOTES The following chart is a compilation (or cuvee if you will!) of notes from the major Bordeaux critics – Jancis Robinson (JR), Decanter (DC), Wine Spectator (WS), Robert Parker (RP), James Suckling (JS), as well as the lesser known, but thorough, website – Wine Cellar Insider (WCI). If there is anything that was solidified while compiling all the information, is that each critic can have widely different opinions regarding each appellation and each vintage, which can result in conflicting information with regards to the quality. The best advice is to find a critic whose palate and assessments you respect and align with your own palate. This is by no means meant to be taken as gospel, but rather hopefully a way to view & compare several opinions about each vintage in a succinct way, rather than flipping through various tabs and websites. Although there was some editing done on our part on the verbiage used by each publication, we did our best to remain true to their words. Not every vintage has notes from each critic for a few reasons – their publication didn’t offer anything specific enough, or any information at all in some cases, or just a blanket assessment was offered. If there are specific appellations mentioned in each column, it’s referring to the lauded overall quality of the appellation for that vintage. One of the top 3 questions any wine professional or Sommelier is often asked “when can I drink this (insert wine name here)? The answer is rarely an easy one but there is this basic guideline you can follow: if you like your wines to have big fruit flavours and assertive structure, drink the wine soon (and don’t forget to decant it), if you prefer to drink wines that are starting to show tertiary or savoury characteristics (more earthy and leather notes, maybe some smokiness and mushroom), tuck the bottle to the back corner of your cellar or wine fridge and try to forget about it for a few years.
