    simple & flat on the palate, though giving you the feeling that it may be a better wine that it is actually. Some would claim good value for money.

Closing

All were tasted blind; while the 1997 Duhart-Milon & 1996 Pape-Clement were very good as expected, the 2005 Haut-Condissas was a very good surprise. Also Tour-Seran was impressing in a way.
Lewinsohn Garage-de-Papa Rouge seems a very promising wine; Petit Saint-Jacques proved that even a €5 Bordeaux bottle can be drinkable...
