2010 BORDEAUX VINTAGE
THE PSYCHEDELIC CULTURE OF EXTREMES!
An impossible dream?
"The word impossible is not French"
~Napoleon Bonaparte.
Today in France, over two hundred years later, the echo of that undeniably French proclamation is much louder and more conspicuous. Especially for the Bordeauxcrats who routinely flirt with disaster by raising the bar on what they deem possible with every Bordeaux vintage! With everything hanging in the balance for the much heralded 2010 vintage, ever defiant, they are resolute to prove once again that Napoleon was right. All odds notwithstanding and much to the dismay of many, the once impossible notion of yet another dream harvest became not only possible but a joyous reality for the Bordeauxcrats.
Thus, at the conclusion of our extensive 2010 barrel tastings in February, March and April of 2011 we are left with the following contradictory impressions that are deeply rooted in Bordeauxcrat culture:
- Bordeaux is the house of worship or defiance, where everything is painted black or white, and you're either "In" or "Out".
- Bordeauxcrats walk around with more of the same awkward baggage as before: oversized egos packed with greed and a carry-on devoid of any market concern or repercussion.
- 2010 Bordeaux is a boom or bust vintage , both feared and celebrated as a recipe for ever-lasting disaster or reverence.
- 2010 Bordeaux is a bondage or salvation vintage regarded in Bordeaux as the second French revolution or second coming of the Messiah.
- 2010 is a put-up or shut-up vintage for the whining, noncommittal-traditional opportunists and new emerging markets which demanded high allocations of "cherries" at or below 2009 prices but received "Donuts" with many strings attached in return.
Unfortunately for market forces, everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong while simultaneously and by contrast, most of what was previously thought impossible has indeed become possible in the Bordeauxcrats' favor.
All in all, 2010 Bordeaux is built on its past and has hedged its bets on today's superficial temptations which may ultimately cost all of us the future! It's time to sink or swim...
May your sweet dreams come true!
