Friday, July 30th, 2010Fine wines ready to drink now
Monday, July 19th, 2010In recent months all talk in the wine trade has been about the wonderful 2009 vintage in Bordeaux and the en-primeur campaign. This got us thinking at Hennings, ‘What about wines that are ready to drink, not in 10 or 20 years time but right now.’
All wines have an optimum time period for drinking. The following list is designed to help you in choosing fine wines that are ready to enjoy.

DUE TO THE NATURE OF FINE WINES, PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
En Primeur | Bordeaux 2009
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
“Nature has been exceptionally kind to us… the conditions have been so sumptuous that it is difficult to find a parallel. You have perhaps to go back to the 1940s to find a comparable year.”
Denis Dubourdieu, Director of the Bordeaux l’Institut des Sciences de la Vigne.
Robert Parker’s ringing endorsement of Bordeaux 2009 shows the vintage has brought together American and European palates as never before. In his assessment of the vintage, the influential American critic says 2009
“… may turn out to be the finest vintage I have tasted in 32 years of covering Bordeaux.”
We are launching our Bordeaux 2009 En Primeur offer with a pair of wines that give a great insight in to this superb vintage whilst delivering exceptional value for money.
Please Note: As our stocks are limited, all Bordeaux 2009 will be sold on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.
Château Lanessan, Haut-Médoc 2009
“…boasts a dense purple color as well as copious creme de cassis, cedar wood, underbrush, and spice notes. Beautiful opulence, silky tannins, and a long finish suggest this sleeper of the vintage will drink well for 2-3 decades.” 90-92 Points, Robert Parker. “Dark crimson. Toasty and appetising on the nose. Thick and dense and succulent, too. Good balance! Drink 2013 – 2018″. Jancis Robinson. £120 per dozen
Chevalier de Lascombes, Margaux 2009
2nd Wine of Chateau Lascombes. Lascombes Grand Vin, which scores an impressive 91-93+ Parker Points, is concentrated, powerful and tannic, with all the elegance and finesse of a great Margaux. The second wine, Chevalier de Lascombes, is more fruity in flavour and more supple. It can be enjoyed five to ten years after bottling, while waiting for the great wine to reach full maturity in the cellar. £195 per dozen
What is En Primeur? Buying ‘En Primeur’ is the purchase of wines that are yet to be bottled and released onto the market. The 2009 Bordeaux will be bottled at the end of 2011, shipped and delivered in the Summer of 2012. There are many benefits to buying your wine En Primeur. Principally, the wines are almost always considerably cheaper than secondary open market prices, it also can be the only way to secure the purchase of certain wines.
How does it work? The price that you pay excludes UK Duty (currently £20.25 per 9 litre case or equivalent) and shipping costs (approximately £2.50 per 9 litre case). Unlike many merchants, Hennings charge the VAT on the wine at the point of order, if you were to pay this in 2012 the rate would likely be higher than the current 17.5%. Once the wine is delivered to the UK, the Duty and shipping costs (including VAT on these amounts) become payable.
We will keep you informed about other wines in our Bordeaux 2009 En Primeur offer as supply is confirmed.
Please contact me in the office on 01798 872485 if you would like to discuss any of the wines or place an order.
Kind regards,
Nathan Fynes
