Sehr geehrter Bordeaux-Freund,

mit einem unserer letzten Newsletter hatten wir Ihnen den BORDEAUX-JAHRGANG 2018 nochmals nahegelegt, denn bei den Verkostungen nach der Abfüllung im vergangenen Oktober 2020 zeigten sich einige nachprobierte Weine extrem gut. Nun hat JAMES SUCKLING seine Bewertungen »from the bottle« mit einigen Spitzenbewertungen nachgelegt! Finden Sie hier eine Auswahl der besten verfügbaren BORDEAUX 2018 zu SUBSKRIPTIONS-KONDITIONEN. Die Auslieferung erfolgt in diesem Jahr.

Unseren 44-seitigen Newsletter mit den Bordeaux-Jahrgängen 2018 und 2019 empfehlen wir Ihnen ebenfalls nochmal.

Hinweis:

Alle Bewertungen in Klammern, z.B. (96-97), wurden im Frühjahr 2019 vom Fass vergeben.

Alle Bewertungen OHNE Klammern sind NEU und NACH der Abfüllung entstanden.

Die Beschreibungen in Englisch sind von JAMES SUCKLING vom Januar 2021.
