Not Enough Blessings with Selling DRC?
Most fans notice that I do not push DRC on line. Isn’t it because of my ignorance? Reason is very simple: too low margin and too high risk.
Remembers the wave of DRC in 2011? I was frequently requested for DRC by Mainland clients. Every time when they placed orders, every piece of my nerves stood up right every second from the moment they confirmed order to the moment wine was delivered. Especially for those back vintages, I had to deliver myself and guarded serving to make sure that everything was right in terms of authenticity and quality. Even prominent brokers in Britain and US sometimes encountered cooked and badly stored wine. Client spent big money and bought sighs. I really do not want to take the risk of letting clients down.
After this crazy 2011 DRC wave, I prefer having sweet dreams at night to having a fortune in numbers.
Today, I courageously recommend a batch from a reliable European broker which I had worked with for 23 years, reasonably priced.
Co-owner Aubert De Villaine highly recommended vintage 2015. He says it is the most remarkable year in his 50 years of career with DRC and it is beautiful from start to finish. He also said it is an impeccable vintage that summer was dry and hot that offers fruits and tannins, and it cooled down right before harvesting that berries kept good acidity. Except Corton, all grapes were fermented in whole parcel. It happens only in particular year without millerandage, good ripeness and phenol maturity. (Quoted from the Decanter)
Everyone has high expectation of the debut of vintage 2016 which is praised by most critics. I anticipate that with the good news of economy , in addition to the low yield of this vintage, price will be pushed up to a new record, hence the price of older good vintages will also be pushed up.
Most probably 2015 DRC will be the big blue chips of the best collection and short-term investment in the decade.
最難消受康帝恩
鐵桿粉絲們可有留意我的網站上從來也不推銷康帝。難道是不識貨?其實原因很簡單：利潤太低風險太高。
還記得2011年的時候國內客經常向我要康帝,每一趟接了單,我就從下單到送達每一秒精神都緊繃。尤其是遠年的,我還得親自押運和侍酒,確保我跟客戶都沒中伏、質量也沒問題。幾許英美中介大卡，即使入了正品，有時也難免遇上歷盡滄桑、熱壞了的薄命紅顏。花了大錢卻買了唏噓！教人客失望的風險真不願擔。
經歷過2011的瘋瘋癲癲的康帝潮。我情願晚上睡好也不願紙上富貴。
今天我大膽的向鐵粉推介一批來自合作了二十三年的歐洲可靠批發商。取價公道。
2015年份更是康帝合伙人奧巴耿偉雍推祟備至，是他50年康帝生涯中最棒的一個年份。據稱是從開始至收結都無懈可擊的大好年份。夏天夠炎熱；提供果香與丹寧；收成前剛好轉涼，保存果子的酸度，除了歌當村，所有的葡萄都是一整束連葉帶梗來發酵。只有在完美收成的年份；沒感染病症和葡萄酚成熟的狀態下才可進行。（摘自Decanter）
萬眾在期待人人稱頌的2016出台，我估計隨著經濟前途光明的氛圍下,加上低產，2016的價格勢必推高，帶動較老年份價格上掦。
2015年的康帝可能是十年以來短炒及珍藏的超級大藍籌。
