An Oddbins tasting of 2000 Bordeaux showed quite a lot of ripe, fairly forward, sizeable - the vintage I guess, possibly combined with modern Bordeaux winemaking. I was a bit underwhelmed by the Cos d'Estournel which is probably better than my three stars suggests. The Pomerol properties La Pointe and Bourgneuf both were rather good, and about the same price as some of the Medoc second wines. Is Pomerol becoming a place for good value?
