5060 Château Jouanin, Cuvée Prestige, 2005 6 7 Georges has never let us down, his wines are entirely<br />
AC Côtes de Castillon, Georges Taïx dependable. Try this now.<br />
5061 Château Carsin, AC Premières 2006 7 7 Juha continues to follow in the footsteps of Mandy Jones,<br />
Côtes de Bordeaux, Juha Berglund his original winemaker. The wine is wonderful already.<br />

AC Bordeaux<br />
5069 Château Maillard, AC Graves, 2006 7 7 Perennially a tough nut. Tannins are still “spikey.”<br />
EARL Château Maillard<br />
5070 Château Haut Sociondo, 2007 7 7 A wine Opimian has offered many times over many vintages<br />
AC Premières Côtes de Blaye, because it is always good value. Try this year.<br />
S.C.E.A. Martinaud et Filles<br />
5071 Château Martinon, Rouge, 2007 7 8 The find of the decade, both red and white. This red is a<br />
AC Bordeaux Supérieur, Jérôme Trolliet winner. Still tough, but that is no reason not to enjoy.<br />
5072 Château Les Tours Seguy, 2006 7 7 Likely to move quite rapidly. Try a bottle early in <strong>2010</strong>.<br />
AC Côtes de Bourg, J.F. Breton<br />
5073 Château Moulin des Laurets, AC 2007 7 7 Quite supple, but in no hurry to lose its youthful aggression.<br />
Puisseguin Saint-Émilion, Lionel Mounet<br />
5074 Château Croix-Mouton, AC Bordeaux 2006 6 6 Fabulous. Try a bottle this year.<br />
Supérieur, Jean-Philippe Janoueix<br />

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, SCEA Terras<br />
5076 Château Canon de Brem, AC Canon 2003 7 8 All the Fronsac wines are slow, give this more time.<br />

5079 Château L’Enclos, AC Pomerol, 2006 6 7 One of the most attractive ‘06s. Drinking well, although<br />
S & D Adams still tastes very young.<br />
5080 20 Mille de Jean-Philippe Janoueix, 2006 4 5 This man, Janoueix, is crazy, but he is a heck of a winemaker.<br />
AC Bordeaux Supérieur, Hold on.<br />
Jean-Philippe Janoueix<br />
5081 Lucia, AC Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, 2001 8 8 Now enjoy.<br />
