Thin, not much nose, but long finish. Dry, without any fruitiness. Probably would not buy again.a1rusty{ts '2010-03-04 00:00:00'}2005 Chateau Bellevue Lugagnac (84pts)

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.'a1rusty{ts '2010-03-03 00:00:00'}2005 Yalumba Shiraz - Viognier (90pts, $13)

I took a chance on this unknown wine, and was pleasantly surprised. It had a fairly small, but nice, nose; good clarity; very dark red color; very dry; very long finish; lots of tannins. But at the price, I would definitely buy it again.a1rusty{ts '2010-01-17 00:00:00'}
