QOTD: 2004 Chateau Greysac. Just a bottle I picked up at Whole Foods for about $18-20, but it was not good… not good at all…

03 Leoville Barton…… Wine was great but i was speculating that the wine spectator was naming it #1 a couple years back so i bought a TON of it to try to capitalize on that and it let me down and was rated ONLY #3!! DissApOinTing

QOTD: Had a whole bunch at a Bordeaux tasting two weeks ago. They did certainly improve as the price went up, but the $100 wines were not exciting. Ended up going with a $20 CDR (my favorite region currently) and enjoyed that much more.

QOTD: I feel like a copy cat when I say I’m cabernet and merlot’ed out. I prefer Burgundy, Rhone, Gascogne, Spain, Portugal, Italy…… I’ve never had a high end Bordeaux though.

QOTD: Château Lafite-Rotschild 2007.

QOTD: In retrospect, I probably over rated it…
2001 Château de Fieuzal (France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan) 9/23/2008 AMM3RD 87
Second time around this wine was a little disappointing. Oak, Oak, Oak. Some good fruit that was unfortunatly spoiled. Don’t get me wrong it’s not bad, but it could be much better. I will wait for a few years to try my next…AMM (267 views) http://www.cellartracker.com

QOTD: I had a 2002 Chateau d’Issan that really was terribly boring. I’ve had other Issans that rocked, but the 2004 effort was poor for my palate.

QOTD: 1995 Carruades de Lafite Pauillac. I have been gifted four bottles of this wine in 2008 and 2009. All four bottles have been way past their peak.

what is the difference between black current and cassis?

Hi Joe, it should be delicous now. Why wait? In life there could be anything just round the corner.

Cheers,

Paul.

French wines overpriced? No big surprise but funny to see GV hammering two disappointing efforts from Bordeaux
