Nonetheless, I look forward, no later than this Monday, to reporting back to all here my extremely, extremely Bordeaux-attuned impressions of the following 2009s:
Chteau Coutet, Chteau D'Aiguilhe, Chteau Camensac, Chteau La Lagune, Chteau Sociando-Mallet, Demoiselle de Sociando Mallet, Chteau Fourcas Dupr, Chteau Brane-Cantenac, Baron de Brane, Chteau dIssan, Blason dIssan, Chteau du Tertre, Chteau Ferrire, Chteau Giscours, La Sirne de Giscours, Chteau La Gurgue, Chteau Chasse Spleen, Chteau Haut-Bages Libral, Chteau Carbonnieux, Chteau Malartic-Lagravire, Chteau Les Carmes Haut-Brion, Chteau Beauregard, Chteau La Conseillante, Duo de La Conseillante, Chteau Canon La Gaffeliere, Chteau Lafon Rochet, Chteau Le Crock, Chteau Beychevelle, Chteau Lagrange, Les Fiefs de Lagrange, Chteau Langoa Barton, Chteau Loville Barton, Chteau Loville Poyferr, Chteau Moulin Riche, Chteau Bastor-Lamontagne, Chteau Marquis de Terme.
And I promise I won't simply say "tastes like claret."

Don't worry, Jay; it was the simplicity I was shrugging off. I'll say they taste like claret, only in a very, very complicated way.

Morgan, it's a Primeurs tasting at Lavinia in Paris. I guess they are going to be selling all of those. Not quite sure where Lavinia now stands on the slide from Marc Sibard to spoof city.*
Nicolas, yes. I have already given them 97-98+.
*ETA, for the reading pleasure of people like Chris Coad, whose pure vision of the world eschews any "Wizard of Oz" presumption on who might be behind wine world curtains in far-flung yet affluent places: buying for Lavinia used to be done by Caves Aug's genial Marc Sibard (whence the curious similarity between their catalogues of yore, price being one good wedge to tell 'em apart); now I don't know who does, but I've been noticing increasing slippage, erosion, perhaps a coming landslide.
In the future we will all be wearing propeller beanies and drinking Guigal La Mouline.
Or fezes and drinking La Turque.
Or big handlebar mustaches and La Landonne.
End fantastical non-rant.
