Bordeaux critical comments

The table includes the top 20 recommendations from several commentator. Not all commentators taste all wines, so lack of a score may just mean that commentator did not taste that wine. James Suckling's full notes appear in the Wine Spectator. My thanks to Anthony Rose for a sneak preview of his full report which will appear in the Independent newpaper on Saturday April 23rd, and to Jancis Robinson who's full reports are being updated daily on Jancisrobinson.com. Anthony and Jancis have included their top half dozen or so wines from amongst the 1st growths and elite of Pomerol and St-Emilion, plus their top dozen or so from the rest of the classed growths.
