I was certain to pop into Vieux Château Certan to taste the 2023s. #vieuxchateaucertan #vcc #pomerol #bordeaux #bdx2023 #wine

Pressing on in Pomerol. Enclos Tournaline and La Patache. Full report on Winedoctor in January. #bordeaux #pomerol #bdx2023 #enclostourmaline #lapatache #vignoblesk #wine

The final few Bordeaux 2023 tastings take me to Pomerol. Heard of this one? 😆🤣 #lafleur #chateaulafleur #bordeaux #bdx2023 #wine

Mondo Mondotte (I’m not even sure what that means, but it sounds good) and cracking Canon-la-Gaff. More 2023s tasted. Full report on Winedoctor in January. #mondotte #canonlagaffeliere #stemilion #bdx2023 #bordeaux #wine

A (nearly) Christmas Canon. Checking in on the 2023 in St Emilion. More 2023s to come. Full report on Winedoctor in January. #canon #croixcanon #stemilion #bdx2023 #bordeaux #wine

Takin’ care of business….. tasting 2023s at the Rolland Laboratory. Don’t ask how many samples, I lost count twice. Hopefully have this lot done before sundown. Full report on Winedoctor in January. #bdx2023 #stemilon #pomerol #michelrolland #rollandlabo #bordeaux #wine

A moment at Clos Fourtet, to taste the 2023 vintage. The estate’s history can be traced back to the Gallo-Roman era when it was a military camp. I think it does much better as a vineyard myself. #closfourtet #stemilion #bordeaux #bdx2023 #wine

I rock up to Rocheyron, to add a review of Peter Sisseck’s 2023 to my forthcoming Bordeaux 2023 report. #rocheyron #stemilion #bordeaux #wine #bdx2023

I can’t come to Bordeaux without a taste of Todeschini! Checking out the 2023 La Brande, Mangot and the very distinguished Distique from the Todeschini family. #mangot #distique #stemilion #bdx2023 #bordeaux #wine

Did you know the rope on the Pavie-Macquin label is a noose? No? Well you do now! Pavie-Macquin was where the townsfolk would hang criminals, a warning to those approaching the town to behave! Other fun facts coming in my 2023 Bordeaux report in January. #paviemacquin #stemilion #bordeaux #bdx2023

Quickly up the hill for a quintessentially quaffable Quintus. Let me know in the comments if you can think of any other Q words I could have sQueezed in there. #quintus #stemilion #bordeaux #wine #bdx2023

To the right bank now, starting in St Emilion with Pavie. A sad year here as Gérard Perse, who made this estate what it is today, passed away. Nevertheless, a pleasure to visit and taste the 2023s which were looking good. #stemilion #pavie #chateaupavie #aromesdepavie #bordeaux #bdx2023 #wine
