Back after a long weekend to albuquerque/santa fe... saw two operas Billy Budd which was very good if not depressing and Adriana Mater..interesting but very deep and dark..a fun night at the theater
Today Robert with Garco came by with some wine from a Bordeaux producer who follows the adage to make a small fortune in the wine business you have to start with a big one. Billionaire Stephen Adams has bought some right bank properties
Chateau Douley 2005 Cotes de Bordeaux dark ruby color, astringent mouthfeel...and ends very dry.not a forgiving wine,
La garosse Premier cotes de bordeaux 2005 dark color, mocha nose, dark berry and a nice dry finish.
les comte lagarosse 2005 Pretty blueberry on the nose, very juicy and approachable with some heat on the tongue.and a dirty and long finish,
roc de candale St emilion dark color and coffee and mocha flavors.interesting
fleur de fonplegade 2005 the winner of the bunch. merlot and cab blend. bright fruit, tobacco and black fruit on the finish. lush tannins. i ordered a case
Michel-Schlumberger Merlot from Dry Creek 2004 this was owned by the alsace family Schlumberger..who use the french pronounciation of ber-shay a touch corked but still holding up..not a green vegetable in the bunch. smoky and savage?? meaty
