Chateau de Camarsac 2005 Bordeaux Superieur


We thoroughly enjoyed this bottle... until we got to the end. Smooth, easy-drinking red with plenty of head. So good, we scarcely realized when we reached the bottom and were slightly disappointed. Next time we'll take two.

Renzo Masi Rufina Chianti Reserva 2004


Very fine, indeed. Definitely a red to take to bed with you after a fine meal. Dry, yet satisfying. Not biting. Definitely a wine to enjoy again... with a fine red. ;)

Chateau de Goelane 2005 Bordeaux


This wine was very drinkable and pleasant on the palette. Not biting or overly fruity. I would definitely not refuse this if offered.

Chateau Haut-Piquat 2005 Bordeaux


Drinking this was a tart punch for the first sip that I grew accustomed to as I proceeded through the meal. Very fruity for a bordeaux, from the Emilion appellation. Not something I'd buy again in this vintage, but maybe try again in a year or two.

Chateau Mirefleurs Bordeaux 2005

Well balanced, flavorful with a tart, fruity, yet not overpowering flavor. Very drinkable dinner wine. Enjoyed thoroughly.
