dinner wld always go with henriot one of my fav champagnes

Aromas of mesquite and dark berries. Concentrated flavors of blackberries, blueberries, and elderberries. Smooth, well integrated tannins and acidity, and a lengthy finish.
Update: I agree with the others who have said it's better on day 2. If opening a bottle now, try a glass on day 1, but save most of it for later!

I liked your idea about getting the old cindies back online with TH. How about you ask Kmurph for their edressessess?
Oh yea this is castello

I am not sue why everyone giving it high score !! May be I just have a bad bottle. It is very tight in the opening with not much of nose ( at least to my nose!!). Not as balanced as I expected with peppery end and overwhelming anount of tannin. Perhaps it is too young. I will wait for at least a year before opening another one.

I don't see age helping it much and I wish I had another bottle. I got a deal for about 30 bucks but would pay 45ish in a pinch. Pop another one and let me know.

Not worth drinking

Nose was full of dark fruit as soon as I popped the cork. Decanted for an hour and it getting better. This wine was elegant, smooth, could not have been any better. I was very impressed and sorry that I did not buy a full case.

6/23/10, 1:31 AM - Why not give it 98 points if it was that good? 25 dollars and couldn't be any better! Just sayin
