How to use the Bordeaux vintage chart

Bordeaux vintages can vary by bank and style. Left Bank reds often depend on Cabernet Sauvignon ripeness and structure, while Right Bank reds can be more generous in Merlot-friendly years. For mature bottles, provenance and storage can matter as much as the vintage score.
