This will undoubtedly be one of the most fascinating en primeur campaigns to observe, as evidenced by the shock release of Angelus on April 6th! We expect Parker's scores at the end of the month, but we think that the campaign will be all done by the end of May.

We would also remind customers that en primeur is sometimes the only way to get wine in particular formats - in particular halves, double magnums and imperials (and magnums for Pomerol).

In addition to tasting notes from all the leading critics, we also have a complete vintage report and set of tasting notes written by Michael Schuster. Michael’s notes are supplied in collaboration with our wine magazine of choice, the quarterly World of Fine Wine. It's a very high quality publication, both in content and production values - more like a book than a magazine! After a bit of negotiation, The World of Fine Wine agreed to give our favoured clients a trial discount subscription at a great 5 for 4 (or 10 for 8) deal. Here's the link to this exclusive offer: http://www.subscribeonline.co.uk/finewine/BORDINDEX3

Michael's comprehensive introduction to the 2008 vintage, together with all his notes and those of leading French experts Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve, will be published in full in issue 24 of The World of Fine Wine.
