2008 Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil
(France / Loire Valley / Anjour-Saumur / Saumur)
|
RATED: 05/25/2010 |
|
|
|
| COMMENTS: |
This is a good wine coming from the Loire Valley region.
This bright wine has a deep dark violet color.
When you smell it you can feel a strong snell of black and red fruits and spices like pepper.
In the mouth, this wine has a light, fresh and fruity attack and the evolution in the mouth is quite good fruity taste.
You feel no tannic taste (as it's a light wine) but you can feel the tannin that disappears quickly.
This wine is easy to drink, not well structured and not full-bodied because it doesn't stay a long time in the mouth.
It can be served with fish.

Cabernet Franc
(France)

| COMMENTS: |
- This bright wine has a rich red colour.
- This wine medium wine has pleasant smells of pepper, spicy and red & black fruits.
- This medium-bodied wine has a light refreshing attack with gooseburries aroma. The evolution is slightly astringent. This wine is very well balanced between fruityness and spicyness.
It is a good red wine, I recommend it for people who usually do not like red wine.

Touraine Blanc - Cuvee l'Elegante - Vintage 2009 - Domaine du Pre Baron.
Appelation Touraine Controlee. Cepage Sauvignon.
This wine has a bright straw yellow color.
It has pleasant fragrances of citrus and peach. You can even smell a bit of litchi.
The attack in mouth is smooth, lightly acid. The evolution is fine as the wine is medium-bodied. The finish is short and smooth.
It is a refreshing, easy-to-drink wine.
I'd say it'd be nice with fish.

| COMMENTS: |
If you want a big, fruitfull, bold wine that may stain your teeth purple, but still very smooth, this is it! I am rating this wine very high because of the price. I have had $50-60 bottles that don't hold a candle to this. Lot's of blackberry and pepper but still smooth to drink. The best thing is that all you need is small sips to enjoy this wine as it is so big. I know that big Aussie/California Shiraz/syrahs are out of style right now, but if you don't agree, find and buy this wine by the case. Flavours so bold you can bite them, but it does not bite back! Enjoy!

2005 Chateau Bellevue Lugagnac
(France / Bordeaux)
|
ALCOHOL: 12.5%
RATED: 03/03/2010 |

|
| COMMENTS: |
This wine was somewhat of a disappointment, and is proof that while 2005 was a great year for Bordeaux wines, not all Bordeaux wines were great. While it paired well with charcoal-broiled ribeye steaks, it fell short of being a good "sipping" wine - astringent on the palate, with a somewhat bewildering aroma... not bad, but... different.
Probably not a "buy again."
