Château Desmirail, Margaux, 3ème Cru Classé, Bordeaux, France,

Smoked rosemary on the nose is followed by a hit of cigar box and pencil lead on the attack. There's excellent quality on display here, with well-judged body and mid-palate, and great persistency, although it's pulled up by a shot of acidity on the finish - something that will not be as evident with food. A good life ahead. The estate did not submit a 2011 to this tasting. Jane Anson Decanter

Château Poujeaux, Moulis-en-Médoc, Bordeaux, France,

This is well filled out through the mid-palate, with some clear menthol notes on the finish. We are in signature Médoc territory here, with plenty of lift and juice in the fruit still. It's good value for a quality Haut-Médoc too, definitely off the starting blocks, but with another five to ten years ahead. Jane Anson Decanter

Château Cantemerle Grand Cru Classé en 1855

Chateau Haut Bailly II

Haut Bailly II is the second wine of Chateau Haut-Bailly based in Pessac-Leognan, which was previously released as La Parde de Haut Bailly. A lovely wine with energy and drive.

Chateau Domaine de l'Aurage Castillon

LAurage is a Merlot from the Côtes de Castillon. Bordering Saint-Émilion, this region represents an incredible value proposition for Bordeaux. Opulent and seductive, the wine is deep crimson in the glass. A beguiling sweet, peppery nose meets a palate rich with aromatics. Youll taste red fruit, sweet cherries, and pudding spice, all wrapped up with silky mouthfeel and rounded texture.

Chateau Pedesclaux EQB

Chateau Pedesclaux was created by its namesake, Pierre Urbain Pedesclaux in 1810 when he purchased vineyard land from another Pauillac estate, Grand Puy. The Pedesclaux family were already established in Bordeaux as Negociants when they added winemakers to their resume.Chateau Pedesclaux was created by its namesake, Pierre Urbain Pedesclaux in 1810 when he purchased vineyard land from another Pauillac estate, Grand Puy. The Pedesclaux family were already established in Bordeaux as Negociants when they added winemakers to their resume. In fact, Edmond Pedesclaux was one of the brokers that helped determine the original 1855 Classification of the Medoc. In 1883, the property was enlarged when the owner purchased vines from the Cruse family, who owned the neighboring estate of Chateau Pontet Canet at the time.

Château Valandraud, Virginie de Valandraud St-Émilion, Grand Cru, Bordeaux

Sinewy but with salinity and plush red and black fruits, this finishes with a twist of salinity that gives a mouthwatering finale. This is a beautiful Virginie de Valandraud, the best that I have tasted to date. It's just so drinkable, this is one to savour and share with friends. Valandraud now incorporates an extra 10ha in St Etienne de Lisse, so the estate is 40ha in total, with 9ha in the grand vin and the rest in this second wine. Jane Anson 93 Points Decanter
