Saga June magazine crossword

[marg44]

Only got this today and just about finished. For 9a I have put HELIOTROPE, but don't really see how the clue points to this, and similarly 23d I have BRUT. Explanations welcome, thanks

[Mamyalynne]

What are the clues you are needing explained??

[marg44]

Sorry, 9a Haiku's beginning with line including poet's name for flower (10)
23d Vintage award - but wine's class isn't recorded (4)

[Mamyalynne]

can only think
H- beginning of Haiku
ELIOT-Poet
ROPE-Line

[Mamyalynne]

not sure on the other except BUT is in the clue + R for recorded even though it says not??

[marg44]

Thanks, didn't see ELIOT, good clue, but puzzled as you are about BRUT

[Mamyalynne]

Good Luck

How about ARET ? Claret without the CL (class) and it is an obsolete word for to award.
