Of these, the pair give their honest opinions, including which wines are great for mid-term drinking and which are good to ‘follow’. They also go into more detail about the individual offers from Mitjavile and Moueix, which were released last week, along with Peter Sisseck’s Château Rocheyron.They conclude with their thoughts on the wines predicted to be released next week, which include some very big names… Wines discussed: Grand-Puy-Lacoste, Rocheyron, Mitjavile and Jean-Pierre Moueix.
