Gil mit einer Bemerkung zur 19/20 Bewertung von R.Gabriel zu Carmes Haut-Brion 2013;

Haha Rainer 19 out of 20; that is some scale of ratings to use for a wine from 2013; what happens then when the quality is like 2009-2010? Will he give it 22 out of 20 or perhaps even 23 out of 20...He has clearly come to the end of his road for wine ratings...now scoring the wines so his clients can buy them and feel good about it...serious integrity that man has...you're probably very right about the Movenpick deal as well...so yep this is not strange at all...Also BTW just talked to some top guys in Bordeaux, Carmes HB released less than 1,000 cases so that is how - even in a crap vintage - you create a false sense of urgency about having to buy and that means the new owner (who by the way is building something extraordinary in the way of a new winery; architecturally a new pearl) kept a large majority of the production of the wine, which makes sense as he will want to build up stock for the future...but there's your answer Francois about why it "sold out in 2 hours..."

Anyway, there was just a few more releases during the day, so here's the mop-up:

DOMAINE DE CHEVALIER 2013 PESSAC LEOGNAN ROUGE AC @ 27.50 € / btl

DOMAINE DE CHEVALIER BLANC 2013 PESSAC LEOGNAN BLANC @ 55.00 € / btl

CLOS DES LUNES - LUNE D'OR 2013 @ 29.00 € / btl

CH. PIERRE 1er (ex CH. CROIX FIGEAC) 2013 @ 10.35 € / btl

CH. FLEUR CARDINALE 2013 @ 21.60 € / btl

CH. MOULIN HAUT-LAROQUE 2013 @ 9.40 € / btl

CH. SAINT GEORGES COTE PAVIE 2013 @ 12.60 € / btl

and that's it for today folks!

So was nennt sich heutzutage Journalismus;
http://www.welt.de/icon/article12731801 ... nwelt.html
Peinlichste ist ja immer wenn die Leute die darüber schreiben nicht einmal Mitglieder der Seite sind,dadurch nur das Aeussere kennen.
Frau gibt keine Interviews ist natürlich schon eine extrem billige Ausrede um ohne Aufwand einen Artikel zusammenzubasteln.
Mit der geheimnisvollen Frau kann man sich übrigens im Parkerforum unterhalten.
Englischsprachige Blogs nehmen sich wenigstens die Zeit für seriöse Recherche ,im deutschsprachigen Raum hat man manchmal das Gefühl das Wikipedia das allerhöchste der Gefühle ist.Aber sogar die Quelle ist einigen zu kompliziert ,wie man immer wieder festellen kann.
