Bordeaux EP 2024

You can infer a decent amount of this data from BBX (at least an approximation thereof)

Anyone else get the email from Zachy’s this morning :sweat_smile:

Buy barrels of 2024 BDX, prices range from $8K opening bid for Branaire to $50K for Angelus.

Seems they have taken note of @HenryB and his motley crew on Discord :wink:

There’s no point buying Bordeaux en primeur but if you are going to do it, do it in a group so you can all laugh about it after!

This was a rough EP campaign for them. The tariff headache and the dollar dropping against the GBP definitely contribute to me sitting this out. There were a few wines that I maybe could have talked myself into buying. Market conditions don’t favor that however.

So a few of the wineEP gang have done a UGC(BBR) tasting of 2024.

Opinions seem to be, basically:
WK called the vintage right, but they disagree over Lafite score. Called Pontet Canet right. Its not a disasater of a vintage, some good wines, some bad ones, but not worth the price considering some of the other similarly priced vintages around.

I had to already pay my EP bill in full for fear of where the exchange rate could be later this year.

Didn’t want to get caught out there.
