BILL BLATCH 2009
REPORT - THE VINES
BILL BLATCH 2009
REPORT- THE WINES
"A
decade with no off-vintages - Bordeaux has never
experienced that before - even those all-time great
decades, the 1920s and the 1840s, had a few misses.
In this first decade of the new millennium, all have
been successful, four made by end-of-season sunshine
(2001, 2002, 2007, 2008), two by heat early in the
season (2004, 2006), and four of highly concentrated
wines from a combination of good summers as well as
good autumns (2000, 2003, 2005 and now 2009, each
receiving more acclaim than the previous one). That
is a total all-time record." Bill Blatch
introducing the much-hyped 2009 vintage. "And this final one has turned out to
be the most concentrated of them all. In
2009, we seem to have reached the
extreme limit of Bordeaux concentration."
