Editor’s note: Wine Spectator senior editor James Molesworth is in Bordeaux to taste the 2012 vintage from barrel to determine the quality and character of the young wines, in order to inform wine lovers who may be considering buying them en primeur, or as futures. New notes will be posted regularly throughout the tastings.

While spending a few weeks in the region, Molesworth visits numerous châteaus, interviews many vintners and evaluates hundreds of wines, some at the châteaus and most in blind tastings organized by Wine Spectator at independent locations. This list contains the highest-rated wines reviewed in his latest tastings.

As these are unfinished wines, they are scored in four-point ranges (e.g., 89–92 points) to indicate that the ratings are still preliminary. (Any wines tasted non-blind at châteaus are clearly indicated in the notes.) When the wines are released in bottle, they will be reviewed with their peers in blind tastings and given a final score.
