Here's a guide to our coverage of the topic du jour, the latest vintage to be offered by the Bordelais, which is looking dangerously good. I was in Bordeaux three times over the last two months and have been adding my tasting notes and reviews systematically, with more detailed introductions than in the past. The most recent articles and tasting articles are at the top of the two lists below. I must thank Tamlyn Currin especially for her extremely efficient and rapid processing of my tasting notes.
