Tasting articles

Tasting articles are the way we publish our most important groups of tasting notes, typically horizontals (one vintage, different producers) or verticals (one producer, different vintages) or from one particular region. Reluctantly, and only because we know how useful they are, we give scores, out of 20, European-style. We also suggest suitable drinking dates because we feel strongly that the wine trade doesn't give us consumers nearly enough advice about when to drink their wines. See more details of What our scores mean.

You can see a complete list of the tasting articles that have already been published in our comprehensive list of Tasting articles by region, although remember this does not include all of the tens of thousands of tasting notes on the site. To find specific tasting notes, use the Tasting notes search which also allows you to Find this wine by linking you directly to the relevant pages of www.winesearcher.com listing prices and stockists worldwide.

The following tasting notes were made last week at a blind tasting of 64 non-vintage and vintage champagnes organised by the London wine broker Fine & Rare Wines.

After a day and half immersed in the 2006 reds, it was fun to plunge into the refreshing waters(?) of 2006 bordeaux whites. The dry whites were mainly Pessac-Léognans with the odd wine made by famous red-wine producers in the Médoc and St-Émilion entitled only to the Bordeaux appellation. . More...
In the second of my three tranches of tasting notes from the massive Southwold 2006 bordeaux review are all my notes on the right-bank reds we tasted. (A couple of dry whites grown on the right bank are included in tomorrow's look at white 2006s.) See here for the 2006 left-bank reds.. More...
This is the first of three tranches of tasting notes from a very comprehensive blind comparative tasting of more than 200 significant 2006 bordeaux in which I took part last week in Southwold .
