2005 Château La Gatte La Butte Vieilles Vignes

Surprised by this bright merlot. Was expecting something more pedestrian. This 100% merlot turned out to be perfectly aged and drinking beautifully, after we decanted it for 20 minutes and swirled it once over. Classy wine and at the price a bargain

Nice light pinot noir. Has a bit of a bright approach early just after opening. I found, surprisingly that aerating the wine for a few hours, or vigorously swirling it in a decanter for 5-10 good minutes made the wine come to life. After this it jumped a few points, i would go 90-91. If you normally drink two glasses this is great because this wine was better the next day after sitting overnight corked tight!

2007 Grgich Hills Cabernet Sauvignon

Just insane fruit bomb wine. Big alcohol, leather, slight graphite notes, some intense blackberry. This wine is a healthy deep purple. It's legs too long for my 5'10" frame to handle, I said it. I bought three, gave one as a gift and drank one with the best homemade pork bragiola I have ever had. The recipe is over 100 years old, the chef 12 years shy of that! For the price, there might not be a better big cabernet on the market...
