James Suckling's Liv-ex Interview on Bordeaux 2020: 'Third outstanding vintage in a row'
James recently spoke with Ruper Millar of Liv-ex, the London-based wine exchange, on the findings of his Bordeaux 2020 tastings.
He lays out the results from his barrel sample tastings (including 10 wines with 100-point potential), the effects of climate change on the vintage and the winemakers’ vinification and maceration experiences. James also acknowledges the superlative trilogy of the 2018, 2019 and 2020 vintages, differences in their taste and his expectations on aging benchmarks for Bordeaux 2020.
Don’t forget to read his 2,000-word report with more than 1,300 ratings of 2020 barrel samples as the wines become available on the market as en primeur or futures offerings.
