Medoc recommendations - cru bourgeois

The Foire aux vins is not far away (September in most supermarkets and wine merchants). Below is a list of good quality wines at reasonable price for Medoc wine. The prices and score are based upon the 2002, 2003 and 2004 vintages. The 2005 prices should be higher, but so is the quality. The 2005 wines would need 3-4 years (from now) in the cellar before starting to try them. The lesser years like 2002 and 2004 would drink nicely now while the good 2003 might require a bit more time.
