Welcome to our coverage of the en primeur campaign. 2009 is quite simply a magnificent vintage especially on the the Left-Bank where the Cabernets are the greatest, most complete and most compelling ever. They are like a cross between the power of the 2005s and the purity of the 2008s....just with the volume turned up!
