Bordeaux - Tapa dura

A classic guide to France's most popular wine. Features not just the grand vins from well-known chateaux, but also wines from hundreds of more humble estates. Organized by appellation, each producer is listed, along with an overview and a catalogue of each vintage. A numerical rating system, tasting notes and Parker's refreshing candour make this a book for the serious oenophile, as well as for the enthusiastic amateur taster.
