Ch Labegorce, Margaux 2002 £19.99 Majestic
Odd, animal, farmyardy nose. Nicely evolved, leathery and baked fruit flavours. Pity about the odd nose.

Pavillon de Leoville Poyferre, St Julien 2007 £19.99 Majestic
Beautiful cedary nose. Lovely. The taste is everything you want claret to be. I love it. Refreshing, with beautiful balance and juicy length. Fabulous.*

Ch Batailly, Pauillac, 5eme, 2004 £33 Majestic
Minty nose. Woody, full-bodied and quite macho. Good. Beautiful gold label, as well.

Ch Les Ormes de Pez, St Estephe, Cru Bourgeois 1995 £35 Majestic
All sorts of tertiary aromas. Quite stinky, like compost or even warm manure (this is a compliment, from me) also dark fruits and tropical fruit. Stalky, cedary taste. Good, but not cheap.
