french paradox wines with dustin jones

Yes I knew that the French Paradox from the 60 minutes segment dealing with how french people eat such a full diet and have less heart disease than we Americans.

Chateau Barat 2004 Bordeaux .. very nice nose that almost had a hint of syrah..dark fruits, could use some more acidity. but user friendly for sure. nice final hints of cherry.

domaine Parent Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2005 pretty color in the glass. very tight fruit and a mid long finish. maybe better once it has opened up a bit.

Secret de Campane 2005 Grenache/Syrah/Cinsault purple in the glass and nice fruit but a quick finish.

Lupe Cholet Bourgogne Chardonnay 2004 pretty yellow color.. mineral on the nose and a flat dull mouthfeel..maybe a little past its prime.

Lupe Cholet Macon-villages 2005 typical of the hot year of 05. fruity nose. nice mouthfeel from a little of the ml.. more of a california vintage than typical macon
