There will be a tendency, looking through the following report, to suggest (1) I have somehow changed the way in which I judge Bordeaux, or (2) I have fallen victim to inflationary scores. I think I have laid out the case, in previous issues of the Wine Advocate, as well as in many of my books, about what has actually happened not only in Bordeaux, but in the top viticultural areas of the world, especially, California, France’s Rhône Valley, Spain and Italy. When I first tasted Bordeaux professionally in the late 1970s, there were probably no more than 6-12 great wines, and another 25-50 that could be recommended without hesitation. By the time 1982 was conceived, that had risen to probably three dozen or more truly world-class, great, great wines, and another 75 to 100 that were top-flight, and worthy of readers’ interests. By 1990, this had grown to around 50 to 75 great wines and approximately 200 other top wines. This number continued to soar, and by 2000, there were probably 100-125 great and compelling wines and another 250 to 300 worth buying. By 2009 and 2010, we are in a situation where the wine quality in Bordeaux has eclipsed anything that has ever been done in the past.
