Bordeaux 2011 – a guide to our coverage

Image

6 May – Just to remind you that, owing to Nick's scheduled gut operation, from which he is making excellent progress now, I was unable to go to Bordeaux to taste the 2011 primeurs. Julia Harding MW went instead and did a first-class job, publishing an awe-inspiring set of tasting notes in record time – JR

Here's a guide to our coverage of Bordeaux 2011, complete with Julia's picture of one delighted putto at Ch La Mission Haut-Brion.
