2009 Bordeaux

Some of the greatest wines of the last decades

A longstanding and enthusiastic client of Bowes Wine has decided to sell a proportion of his portfolio, virtually all of which was procured from Bowes Wine offers, ergo has been professionally stored since Day One. 

We have been asked to offer the wines in tranches and we start with a collection of 2009 claret, among which are some of the greatest wines of the modern era, including a healthy number that have attracted perfect scores from one or more commentators. 

This is a fine opportunity to secure great, classic wines with perfect provenance, many of which are entering their windows of maturity i.e. someone else has kindly looked after them with the greatest care so that you haven't had to!

An additional attraction is that almost all are bottled in magnums: a size thought by many to be the best for the consistent ageing of fine wine.

And they are, by and large, offered at extremely keen prices.

N.B. These wines are sold lying under bond in Octavian.
