Note I said that the Bordeaux wines should have lost when their s were included in the tastings you mention  I also pointed out that at the time several of the best estates were in fact coasting on their reputations and not making the most of their vineyards  My issue is simply with the idea that  should be considered one og the greatest years for Bordeaux when in fact its surpassed by           Thats  vintages that are generally considered superior to  outside of Pomerol  Its hard to imagine how the Bordeaux Council ranks  above these if Pomerol is factored out  Let me reiterate Im not disputing the results of the Paris tasting The Bordeaux wines have been shown inferior several times now but given what Bordeaux was producing at the time they deserved to loose  I object to the idea that Bordeaux wines included in the tasting are representative of the best of what Bordeaux is capable of producing
