We have long been banging the drum about the 2019 Bordeaux vintage, and with good reason: tasting 2019 clarets is a pleasure. It is a vintage that makes you smile and every time we open one it only affirms our view that this is a truly great year across the board in Bordeaux.
Those of us lucky enough to have tasted 1982s in their youth draw the comparison with that vintage; those of us a little younger think of a purer, slightly more lifted version of 2009. The wines are already delicious, and they are wines that speak of their terroir.
There are outstanding wines in each appellation and at every level in 2019 and, with such a gluttony of choice, we have put together some mixed sampler cases. These cases offer a great opportunity to taste the wines for yourself.
The first three are based on Neal Martin’s in bottle reviews and scores (February 2022). We have also put together a "Stars of the Southwold Tasting" case, which contains a bottle each of the 2019 Southwold Tasting's most notable performers. Availability is limited and each case is packed to order so please allow a week for delivery.
