Great for desert or paired with some chocolate gilato or something rich. Definitely a short drinking window over the next 2-3 years. Note due to the bottle size both of my vaccum sealers would not work. Had to use the original screw cap. Plan on finishing this wine in 1-2 nights else that's it. At this price I would buy again & have no problem serving this to guests. |

2006 Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) Cabernet Sauvignon Los Vascos ReserveColchagua Valley more |
9/25/2009 - VinnieTheFish wrote: 75 pointsHints of tobacco, pepper and oak. Could not identify the fruit as the tobacco smoke flavor was a bit overpowering for my pallette as a non-smoker. Like kissing an unknown woman at a bar who just finished smoking a cigarette. Not really my cup of tea, but would suggest decanting for at least an hour or holding onto this for a few more years to develop a little further. |

2004 Rosemount Estate Cabernet MerlotSouth Eastern Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/22/2009 - VinnieTheFish wrote: 87 pointsMedium body, soft tannins & hints of dark chocolate and blackberries as the wine opens up. Best to let this wine breathe for 30-40 min to enjoy this wine. For something as easily purchased from Costco under $10 this is an easily drinkable wine. Typical of what one would expect from a South Australian wine. For the price both the GF & I agree that this is a wine we will purchase again. |

2004 Five Rivers Pinot NoirSanta Barbara County more |
9/19/2009 - VinnieTheFish wrote: NRLight in color, cherries and a acidic at room temp. Remembered a tip from an old friend and refridgerated the wine for 30 min after initial taste. Once chilled the acidicity was greatly deminished but unfortunately so was the notes of cherry although still present. A bit too one dimensional for my taste, but wine was a gift. |

Serves me right for storing in the wrong conditions. Most likely cooked during the move from CA to AZ and not storing in the right conditions. |
