As discussed yesterday, the recently physical 2019 vintage from Bordeaux is catching the attention of critics, having received several 100-point scores in recent weeks.
Having recently become physically available, the trade activity around the vintage has increased markedly. As the table below shows, the 2019 vintage is already the second-most traded vintage on Liv-ex year-to-date.
