Bordeaux 2009 selon le Wine Doctor

So is it the Vintage of the Century it was caimed to be by some almost as soon as the grapes were harvested? Well, the answer to that question is complicated. Yes, there are some stunning wines in this vintage, majestic efforts with balance and power paradoxically combined, and these wines, estates and winemakers deserve due respect. There are also many good wines one or two rungs down the ladder, wines that have succeeded in maintaining freshness and balance along with true character. But, as I have already expounded in my first report, there is more to a great vintage than a few great wines. The 2009 vintage is also a story of inconsistency, with a number of very weird, extracted and most of all overtly alcoholic wines out there, There is not the broad success that was found in 2005.

Je suis quand même perplexe sur les niveaux d'alcool... Du Troplong-Mondot à 15.5% et du Tertre-Rôteboeuf à 15.6%... Mais bon, si on trouve le même équilibre que dans les meilleurs Châteauneuf 2007 pourquoi pas?
