Hope you are doing well haven't seen a video in a bit. How would you recommend someone getting in to collecting older wines? I have started a small collection with most less than 10 years old. All of the older vintages are very expensive and hard to come by. Should in just collect and hold for 10-20 before enjoying? Would you ever be interested in selling a "sampler" case or two for someone trying to learn more about wine? Love the channel!

TCA does not come from bad corks, what happens is it comes from a bacteria that lives in some corks that comes into contact with Chlorine or Chloramines, that is then broken down by the bacteria into TCA. It means the winery is using water with chlorine somewhere in the process.

All 2020 wines are tainted, you need to avoid 2020 as a whole, 2021 was also a terrible vintage, so bad nobody got any grapes 2022 was normal, 2023 was the wettest coldest year on record in like 50 years was a great vintage. 2024 seems to be on trend to be average.

What a great discovery and recommendation, château Plantey! It just goes to show that even in Bordeaux (Pauillac), still nice, accessible and affordable wines are produced. It gives yet another more nuanced picture of Bordeaux. You just need to find and recognize them. That has been entrusted to you.

I buy my wine at grocery outlet...$5 or $6 a bottle. Wine is a staple of life, has been for thousands of years. Charging $20 +++ for a bottle of wine is an economic model that simply will not work and most people will just not buy it and it will collect dust on the shelf.

There’s some other good vintages of Trotanoy available with bottle age under $200. I love Trotanoy but at what price? Value is a individual, subjective choice.

@@hugosbalder6139Looking over the numbers you are probably right about the the 2023 offering value. Only Trotanoy from off vintages are under $200. It seems the Mouiex stable are raising their Pomerol prices from older vintages (have you seen the lastest pricing on past vintages of Petrus? Ouch!)

Cheers Tom. Totally agree about buying when the vintage is good and sitting on them, especially back in the day when the prices were good. Top quality wine from quality producers costs a bomb these days though. Just as well we can raid that cellar for a special treat.

I completely agree Tom and I can confirm your wedding scenario to so many restaurants in wine producing countries like Spain and Italy. Prices are the problem. Yes, good beer is an option but people would still like wine in a restaurant but the wine prices are a minimum of six times the prices of a good beer which can last a meal. National wine, outside of their own market, are five times the price of retail. Restaurant's are backing up with this stuff and so are wine merchants. The life cycle you describe is not just shrinking, it's collapsing. Wine, its history, culture and properties are becoming increasingly irrelevant to younger people.

@Ruirspirul2 ай бұрын
its very easy, 2022 was extremely dry, almost no rain during the vegetation period and 2023 was one of the wettest summers in a long time. thats why mildew was an issue. so we got extremely small berries and huge concentration of 2022 versus the “watery” style of 2023. 2023 will go down in history as one of the weakest vintages of the decade but obviously some wineries have made incredible wines.

People (more prestigious critics, if that means anything) all said 23 vintage was really challenging in st emillion, but their scores definitely don't reflect that (still pretty high) compared to 22's. They were sponsored by the wineries?

I am looking forward to hearing your recommendations. Thank you for the insightful data. I purchased many wines in the 2023 futures upon release and stayed mostly away from St. Emilion and producers mainly affected by mildew (hedging on speculation based on what I have read). I purchased all of my ‘23 futures through a large wine merchant that only required a 50% deposit upfront and then balance in one year, which helps with your point related to the interest rate cost on your money. 🍷

@welshtoro32562 ай бұрын
Personally, I don't bother with this sort of wine. The prices are absurd and there are so many good wines from all over the world. Nevertheless, it's good to get the lowdown on these futures. Tom, I think you make a very good point about vintage quality and I completely agree. The majority of the wine I buy comes from Spain and Italy to a lesser extent. In the old days Rioja vintages, for example, could range from Poor, Average, Good, Very Good and, on occasion, Excellent. These days it's never below less than Very Good and you get a consistent producer profile.
@winemoneysong2 ай бұрын
Totally agree with you about the high quality of Rioja.
@strekk14862 ай бұрын
Feels like the destocking that played out in other markets in 2023 has yet to play out in Bordeaux, once you have that stock overhang prices are going to move lower. If you also have a situation where the producers pocketed the high prices selling into the futures market the past few years, and negotiants were left with the stock that didn't and now won't mov3 at the prices they paid, that could also incentives producers to move prices lower to clear their production, because they don't or have less exposure to the high priced stock that hasn't sold.

Another wonderful analysis Tom. Objective, independent and level-headed. Thanks! The result of many years of experience, in the broadest sense of the word, regarding wine. A personal note. if I may be so free. Which helped me personally. First develop your personal taste over the years. Taste Bordeaux from all kinds of price segments of various classifications. From different years and different ages and certainly not only the so-called top years. In some cases it may be a first-growth, but do not make it an obsession. Testing and comparing wines blindly may also be part of this. Also put a Bordeaux blend from another wine region on the tasting table (preferably blind). Often very educational! In short, gain objective experience, so you know what you are talking about. Concerning Bordeaux, first-growth and wine in general. With the necessary experience and with the help of this channel, it is likely that you will gain a better understanding when it comes to first-growth purchases.
