A raft of relatively minor releases – Grand Corbin<\/strong>, Blanc de Lynch Bages<\/strong> (described by Neal Martin as ‘very fine indeed’), Carbonnieux<\/strong> red and white, La Fleur Cardinale<\/strong>, and then getting more serious: Jean-Philippe Janoueix’s La Confession<\/strong>, a very well made saint Emilion which rates a score of 92-95 from Robert Parker.
