The Wine Society N London Group does Bordeaux and steak
An interesting selection, and the hits/misses weren't necessarily as I'd expected - in particular, not sure why the 2005s were so soft and approachable. Certainly plenty of wines I'd be delighted to taste again, though.
2010 Château Lynch-Bages Blanc de Lynch-Bages 93 Points
France, Bordeaux
Really enjoyed this, in part because of its balance and complexity but also I suspect because I just don't drink this sort of wine often enough. More Sauv than Sem on the nose (apparently the cepage is 45% Sémillon, 45% Sauvignon, 10% Muscadelle), and rather lovely with it: nettles, gooseberry, herbs and some custard. Bitter and phenolic on the palate, almost like a hoppy West Coast IPA, chewy in texture, with pineapple and lime and again some custard. A definite success.
