Below are my tasting notes for the wines of Pauillac. Note the very strict selection for the grands vins with in many cases knock-on effects on the second wines which are generally of a very different style and quality from the grands vins this year – though Petit Mouton was delicious and rather similar to Mouton, I thought.
Background comments appear in italics.
As usual, the wines are listed alphabetically within appellation, ignoring words such as le, la, les, de, du, des, Château and Clos.
+ means that I expect the wine to gain stature with time...
