And Jim, just for you :

Depuis vingt ans que vous êtes dans la profession, est-ce la première fois que cela vous arrive ?Ce millésime me rappelle un peu le 1992. J'étais alors maître de chai, et je n'avais aucun pouvoir à l'époque. Depuis que je suis consultant avec ma propre société (1999), j'ai eu des millésimes un peu déficients, comme le 2002, mais, en sélectionnant sévèrement, nous pouvions quand même sortir quelque chose d'honorable. Et puis l'exemple vient d'en haut. Il arrive à Château d'Yquem de ne pas sortir les mauvaises années, comme pour leur 2012.

Translation:

For twenty years you are in the profession, is this the first time this happens to you? This vintage reminds me a bit of 1992. I was a cellar master and I had no power at the time. Since I am a consultant with my own company (1999), I had deficient vintages like 2002, but by selecting severely, we could still get something honorable. And the example from above. He arrives at Château d'Yquem not leave bad years, as their 2012.

So 2011-2012-2013 are this decade's 1991-1992-1993? At least approximately over the six vintages?

1) Look out for a 14 hype.

2) Snap those back vintages before everyone else does.

Mmmm I hope more people keep dumping on 2002, that's just more from the greatest vintage since 1961 available for me at reasonable prices!
Can't wait for the "Night of Redemption" at BWE '14!
