Terra Firma

Château Paveil de LuzeImage of Château Paveil de Luze via Snooth
tasting through some french and romanian wine

Laudun Chusclan Les Argeliers Vacqueyras 2009... my first taste of a 09 wine from this region. bright purple in the glass.. reminds me of a dolcetto or cru beaujolais. fruit forward and pretty with the acidity leading to a nice finish.


Chateau Abelyce St Emilion 2005  earth and band aid on the nose. red fruits with lots of acidity.. good fruit on the mid palate where often these wines can go weak.

Sempiternam Corbieres 2007... Iodine and a touch of sherry..not impressed at all and after seeing the cork finding some seepage it will be good to revisit.

Chateau Paveil de Luze Bordeaux Superior 2006 dark purple in the glass and pleasant enough but a quick finish and not worth the price I was told

La Croix-Davids Cotes de Bourg 2006... pretty aromas of cinnamon, earth.. soft and medium bodied...

Solo Quinta 2009 a white blend from romania... sweet nose from the Muscat in it  but a dullish finish with not much going for it at the price.
