A

1982|1985|1988|1989||1989 |A drought year, irregular in Cornas, otherwise rich and opulent.||1988 |Unfairly overshadowed by 1989 and 1990, with majestic Côte-Rôties for long ageing.

215
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of the Northern Rhone in the 90’s?

A

1990|1995|1999||*1999 |Exceptional quality. A sunny harvest saw good quantities of healthy grapes - a cause for real celebration in the northern Rhône. Quality is at least as good as 1998 (some compare it with 1947) and the quantity was much higher

216
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of the Northern Rhone in the 00’s?

A

2005|2009|2010||*2010 |Low yields of exceptionally good quality. One of the very best years in the northern Rhône - possibly the best in history!

217
Q

What are the 2 best vintages of the Northern Rhone since 2010?

A

2015|2016||*Universally viewed as a vintage with top quality potential. Guigal will produce their special Condrieu cuvée Luminescence for only the third time (previous vintages were 1999 and 2003). For reds, maintaining freshness and avoiding over-extraction is the key to quality with such ripe fruit.

218
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of Bordeaux in the 60’s?

A

1961|1962|1966||* 1961 A legendary Bordeaux vintage. Big, concentrated and tannic in their youth, numerous great wines were produced in the Medoc, the Right Bank and Pessac Leognan. If well stored, many of these wines are still offering great pleasure today.

219
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of Bordeaux in the 70’s?

A

1970|1975|1978||*1978 |A perfect autumn saved the crop. The big left bank names are strongest.

Q

What are the 5 best vintages of Bordeaux in the 80’s?

A

1982|1985|1986|1988|1989||*1989 |Seemed an unusually hot summer at the time, producing a huge crop of rich, opulent, expensive wines, drinking astonishingly well young. Some very good right bank wines indeed. And an exceptional year for Haut-Brion.

221
Q

What are the 4 best vintages of Bordeaux in the 90’s?

A

1990|1995|1996|1998||*1990 |Second scorching year in a row. Very ripe, alluring wines at all levels, many outstanding. The vintage character of velvety texture and luscious, almost overripe fruit is one of the easiest to spot and tends to impose itself over any geographical characteristics.

222
Q

What are the 4 best vintages of Bordeaux in the 00’s?

A

2000|2005|2009|2010||* 2009|’Vintage of the decade/century’? This growing season seemed to have it all. A long, fine, warm summer but, crucially, with refreshing nights to help retain acidity. Dramatically ripe, voluptuous wines, especially on the left bank.

223
Q

What are the 2 best vintages of Bordeaux since 2010?

A

2015|2016||*2016 |The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded. Quantity was high too. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance.

224
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of White Burgundy in the ’80s?

A

1985|1986|1989||*1989|A medium-sized crop produced spectacularly rich and horribly expensive wines.

225
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of White Burgundy in the ’90s?

A

1990|1995|1996||*1996|As with the reds, acidity is the keynote. The best-balanced are stunning but some are a bit meagre.

226
Q

What are the 4 best vintages of White Burgundy in the ’00s?

A

2002|2005|2008|2010||*2010|High acidity, after the more opulent style of the 2009s. A small, ripe crop - although a storm in early September did produce some rot, so sorting was crucial - as ever.

Q

What are the 3 best vintages of Red Burgundy in the ’80s?

A

1985|1988|1989||*1989|Nearly up to 1990, if not as intense. Some real charmers.

230
Q

What are the 4 best vintages of Red Burgundy in the ’90s?

A

1990|1993|1995|1996||*1990|A great success: rich and fragrant. The top vineyards made majestic wines but some lesser wines lacked lusciousness.

231
Q

What are the 4 best vintages of Red Burgundy in the ’00s?

A

2002|2005|2009|2010||*2002|Good vintage. Summer was not especially hot, though it was reasonably dry. Sugar levels were boosted in September but some grapes were adversely affected by scattered rains then. Sugar levels were quite respectable in the end and most wines showed their charms at an early stage.

232
Q

What are the 4 best vintages of Red Burgundy since 2010?

A

2012|2014|2015|2016||*2012|Blighted by rot, as a damp summer across Europe made conditions hard for vignerons, with mildew a particular problem. The weather was erratic and bizarre, with heatwaves, hail, a cold spring, thunderstorms and all manner of meteorological mischief. The net results are very low volumes of variable quality - but overall vignerons are surprised and delighted by what resulted. One hallmark of 2012 looks to be soft tannins.

1983|1986|1988|1989||*1989 |Huge, almost corpulent wines that are dramatic and exciting.

244
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of Sauternes in the ’90s?

A

1990|1997|1999||*1990 |Massive rich wines that presently seem a shade less complex than 1989 and, especially, 1988.

245
Q

What are the 4 best vintages of Sauternes in the ’00s?

A

2001|2003|2009|2010||*2001 |The rain that spoilt the reds encouraged botrytis to such an extent that this is a truly magnificent, long-term vintage, helped by a greater degree of selection and cellar expertise than ever before. Perhaps the greatest Sauternes vintage in modern times.

246
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of Sauternes since 2010?

A

2011|2014|2015||*2014|A triumph for Sauternes in this vintage, with some botrytis in September and plenty in late October. Some observers are even calling it the best vintage since the turn of the century.

1975|1979

248
Q

What are the 2 best vintages of Champagne in the ’80s?

A

1982|1985|1988|1989||*1988 |Classically structured, concentrated wines with sufficient acidity for long ageing The wines are powerful and well structured, but were not as immediately appealing. However, time has shown them to be rich in fruit, stylish and well balanced.

249
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of Champagne in the ’90s?

A

1990|1995|1996||*1996 |Up to this point 1996 has been considered a fantastic vintage which produced classic wines; the best since 1990. A long, dry summer produced grapes of record ripeness with record acidity. Some question how the 1996s are aging. The wines are generally characterized by a distinctive rather lemony acidity and very good attack, but some wines now seem terribly austere, while others already seem dangerously short of fruit.

250
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of Champagne in the ’00s?

A

2002|2006|2008||2002 |A magnificent vintage for champagne with near-perfect growing conditions, capped by fine dry weather at harvest. Ageworthy wines with plush fruit held in check by keen acidity.||clearly a rich year: 2002 boasted the highest alcohol levels since 1990, averaging 10.5 degrees (to put this in context, 2003—a year commonly viewed as being extremely ripe—averaged 10.6 degrees of potential alcohol).

251
Q

What are the 2 best vintages of Champagne since 2010?

A

2012|2015||*2012 |An exceptional vintage in Champagne. Despite low yields thanks to frost, hail and disease early in the season, August saw conditions improve dramatically resulting in exemplary maturity, acidity and grape health at harvest.

253
Q

What are the 2 best vintages of the Southern Rhone in the ‘80’s?

254
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of the Southern Rhone in the ‘90’s?

A

1990|1995|1998||*1990 |Exceptionally sumptous, powerful and heady wines with fairly low acidity. Only the finest survive.

255
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of the Southern Rhone in the ‘00’s?

A

2001|2005|2010||2010 |A very successful vintage, with precision and freshness allowing great expression of terroir. Equally outstanding for whites and reds. Excellent. ||Only poor vintage in this decade was 2002

256
Q

What are the 2 best vintages of the Southern Rhone since 2010?

A

2012|2015|2016||*2016|According to Michel Chapoutier, 2016 could be better than 1990 in the southern Rhône - praise indeed. Warm conditions throughout the year along with reduced yields has resulted in wines of great concentration - in colour, tannin and flavour. Certainly one of the great vintages, for reds anyway.

257
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of Alsace in the ‘90’s?

Q

What are the 4 best vintages of Piedmont in the ‘80’s?

1982|1985|1988|1989||*1989 |A superb, healthy crop. Top Barolos are thrilling and repay the wait.

265
Q

What are the 5 best vintages of Piedmont in the ‘90’s?

A

1990|1995|1996|1998|1999||*1996 |Superb Barolo and Barbaresco for keeping.

266
Q

What are the 4 best vintages of Piedmont in the ‘00’s?

A

2001|2004|2006|2010||*2010 |Nebbiolo proved resilient thanks to its small berries and thick skins. August proved hot, but cool nights helped retain acidity. The overall result is considered outstanding: a classic vintage with plenty of acidity, firm but ripe tannins and near-perfect balance in many wines.

267
Q

What are the 2 best vintages of Piedmont since 2010?

A

2012|2013||*2013|From mid July temperatures shot up and remained high during August, albeit with cooler nights. September was very sunny and dry, but the growing cycle was still two weeks late, necessitating a delayed harvest. The prognosis is for a vintage similar in quality to the already legendary 2010s.

268
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of Tuscany in the ‘80’s?

A

1983|1985|1988||*1988 |Delightfully smooth wines, balanced and ripe from low yields.

269
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of Tuscany in the ‘90’s?

A

1990|1997|1999||*1999 |Quite exceptionally good quality. A vintage not unlike 1997 but with arguably more finesse and less sheer mass. Warm summer led to an early harvest of healthy grapes.

270
Q

What are the 5 best vintages of Tuscany in the ‘00’s?

A

2001|2004|2006|2007|2010||*2004 |Exceptionally good vintage, central Italy’s equivalent of the perfect growing season that France experienced in 2005.

271
Q

What are the 2 best vintages of Tuscany since 2010?

A

2012|2013||*2012|In spite of the intense heat, 2012 resulted in medium-bodied, fresh and at times rather light wines, arguably a welcome change from the heavy and sometimes alcoholic 2011s.

272
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of Spain in the ‘80’s?

A

1982|1986|1989||*1982 |A very great year, the best since 1970, with plenty of Reserva wines.

273
Q

What are the 5 best vintages of Spain in the ‘90’s?

A

1990|1991|1994|1995|1996||*1995 |Another frost-shrunk crop in Ribera del Duero, although the grapes were riper and probably better balanced than in 1994. Rioja’s bodegas, on the other hand, were swollen by an enormous harvest of ripe, healthy grapes.

274
Q

What are the 5 best vintages of Spain in the ‘00’s?

A

2001|2004|2005|2009|2010||*2010 |Exceptional for Ribera del Duero with no excessive weather patterns, uniform ripeness and quality as promising as 2004. Good quality in Rioja also, considered better than 2009.

275
Q

What are the 2 best vintages of Spain since 2010?

A

2015|2016||*2016|Unlike Catalunya, Rioja enjoyed an abundant harvest - the largest since 2005, and many producers had to discard fruit to meet the permitted yield. Quality is excellent, with modest alcohol, full ripeness, relatively light tannins, good aromatic range and no bitterness. In Ribera del Duero, the outlook is also positive, with quality as good as the strong 2015 vintage.

A

2011|2012|2013|2015|2016||*2016|Officially described as ‘outstanding quality, characterised by particularly delicate fruit-driven aromatics and fresh acidity,’ early signs of quality are good. Yields in Steiermark and Burgenland were reduced by frost and hail in April - in the former region by up to 80%.

281
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of Germany in the ‘80’s?

A

1983|1988|1989||*1989 |A phenomenal harvest. The late-harvested Rieslings show profound complexity. Probably best in the Mosel.

282
Q

What are the 2 best vintages of Germany in the ‘90’s?

A

1990|1999||*1990 |Europe’s wonder year: a perfect autumn with plenty of late-picked sweet wines after a botrytis bonanza.

283
Q

What are the 2 best vintages of Germany in the ‘00’s?

A

2001|2009||All were very good.|2001 |A very great, long-term vintage with remarkable levels of both grape ripeness (thanks to a wonderful Indian summer) and acidity (thanks to a nerve-wrackingly wet but cool September). A high proportion of botrytised sweet wines were made - in fact there was such a shortage of basic QbA wine that considerable amounts were declassified to satisfy market demand.

284
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of Germany since 2010?

A

2011|2012|2015||*2011 |Extremely good quality, with yields back at average after two more depressed years. There is palpable excitement about these wines, with top quality examples across the board from trocken Riesling and Spätburgunder and record-breaking noble whites.

285
Q

What are the 4 best vintages of Sancerre in the ‘00’s?

A

2002|2005|2009|2010||*2009|Yields were slightly reduced in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, and some July hail decimated much of Quincy, Reuilly and Coteaux du Giennois - but what was produced is excellent.

286
Q

What are the 2 best vintages of Sancerre since 2010?

A

2016|2017||*2016|A step ahead of 2015 and different in style. A severe spring frost cut the crop by as much as 50 percent. May through July was rainy, but then draught conditions arrived and persisted through the harvest. Luckily temperatures were not too hot, especially through harvest. Wines have fresher acidity than 2015.

What are the 5 best vintages of Chenin Blanc in the Loire from the ‘00’s?

A

2002|2005|2007|2009|2010||*2009|Chenin was very promising, although there botrytis was scarce.

What are the 2 best vintages of South Australia in the ‘00’s?

A

2005|2010||All were good in this decade.|2010 |This was the year that the rain finally came, breaking a long drought. This brought some problems later in the season, with excess rainfall encouraging some mildew, but generally the impression is a positive one across the state.

293
Q

What are the 3 best vintages of South Australia since 2010?

A

2012|2015||All were good in this decade.|2012 |Lower-than-average yields in Australia, as across much of Europe. This was blamed on high winds, drought and low fruitfulness resulting from the poor 2011 vintage. Quality, however, was much better than in the exceptionally damp 2011, with South Australia avoiding some of the weather extremes experienced by other states. Strong varietal typicality is a commonly cited feature of the 2012 crop.

What are the 6 best vintages of Northern California in the ‘90’s?

A

1991|1992|1994|1995|1996|1999||*1995 |Yet another region in which a warm, dry autumn and late harvest saved the day after a difficult growing season. Reds, especially Zinfandels, may be even better than 1991. Small quantities pushed up prices, however.

298
Q

What was the worst vintage in Northern California in the 00’s?

A

2003||*2003 |Rushed vintage as everything ripened at the same time after heat spikes followed rain and a cool May.

299
Q

What was the worst vintage in Northern California since 2010?

A

2011||*2011 |Miserable conditions made for a very challenging harvest, with mildew and botrytis rife in Napa and Sonoma. Volumes are therefore low for the second consecutive year, with the best quality only found where growers managed to pick ripe fruit before the rainstorms in October.

300
Q

What was the best vintage in Northern California since 2010?

A

2012||*2012 |A banner year, providing a useful exception to the short crops experienced so widely elsewhere. Ideal growing conditions seem likely to have produced the best vintage for decades. Virtually all varieties seem to have thrived. Quality with quantity at last.
