"You can make bad wine from good grapes
but you can't make good wine from bad grapes."

Never a truer word said but not every year produces good grapes. Almost every weather condition will have an effect on the quality of the grapes, leading to good bad and indiffrent vintages and this ulimately effects the prices.

The quality of the grapes also gives wine the abality to improve over age, this is why a 1997 Bordeaux should be drunk now and is average but a 1990 Bordeaux is fantasic and can be drunk now or leave it a little longer and it will continue to get better with age

My table below give a simplistic view of the quality of years by giving a mark out of ten, obviously different vinyards fair better than others with microclimates and wine makers skill comining to the fore, so within the overall score of say 7, one vinyard may produce an 8/10 and another 6/10. My recomendations for individual products performance can be found in the product section.
