2000 Bordeaux Can‘t help personally on most of these. Can‘t help on La Fleur Carrere - said by the poster to be Saint-Emilion but is, I think, in fact a Montagne-St.Emilion and not enbreastled to any appellation from the Jurisdiction itself. I have drunk several vintages of the Chateau Tour Du Pas St. Georges, as the poster says another satellite from St-Georges-St-Emilion, but, in my view a good one and in a year like 2000 a pretty good equivalent of a very decent Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. It comes from the Belair stable of Mme. Dubois-Challon and is made by Pascal Delbeck who also made Ausone for so many years. If the price is fair you really won‘t go wrong with this, and a little patience to allow its best to come through — it can be quite firm in its youth and this was 2000. I know it to be highly thought of - and served to his guests — by the first English Chancellor of the Jurade de St.Emilion who is really one of the current experts on this area. It is also praised by Hubrecht Dujiker & Michael Broadbent. Hope that helps and there‘s still some left. Normally good buys go between tasting the trial bottle and going back for more I used to find — a corkscrew and glbutt in the car helps prevent that now. Timothy Hartley
