These wines were presented at the Decanter Awards exhibition area. As mentioned, we had free-rein to taste and decide on which wines we liked. I have listed the ones I found to be of worthy mentioned. Most of which I do not see often in the wine shops I frequent.
Chateau Le Boscq Saint Estephe 2004 (French)
A silver medal winner.

Chateau Giscours 2003 (French)
Smell : Warm sweetish aromas.
Taste : Light-easy drinking, cherry-based but overall weak intensity.
After-taste : Uncomplicated finish.
In a nutshell, the overall impression I had of the 2003 Bordeaux Reds is that of a very summer ripen set of wines, which are pleasant to drink, with smooth tannins and would go well with food. Almost like a New World freshness and fruity forthcoming, however, I would not recommend that they be kept any longer for aging and in fact would drink rather well now. In fact, based on this tastings, I would dare say the 2003s are somewhat overpriced in the shops.
