Yeah, but listen, neither does Bordeaux. Some of them do. But they ve been backtracking rapidly over the past 20 years. They used to say, This won t be even near drinking for 40 years. And they realized they were shooting themselves in the foot.
Nobody wants that any more.
We ve been doing these 10-year tastings since the 1985s. And the 1990 vintage by far without question is in better shape at the 10-year mark than any of those others. There s just no comparison. The 85s were good but disappointing. The 86s were particularly disappointing, the tannins were still hanging on and the fruit was heading south.
