I've been in the business of tasting and collect fine wine, beer and spirits for over 30 years.
I taste over 4000 different wines, beers and spirits annually.
I'm tired of the fabricated, gluttonous, high abv, score chasing wines of the new world.
Bourbon is good but Scotch is better.
2006 Château Lafleur-Gazin

Earth over fruit. Good grip with elevated acid. A complex wine pairing well with ribeye and sauteed shrooms. Definitely making its exit. Held together nicely as the night went on resulting in a good to the last drop situation.

Nice frothy mousee. Aromas of toasty, creme brulee and fresh lathed oak arouses my senses. Ripe stonefruit, white and yellow candy. Lush and creamy with good acidity. Peach cobbler and a touch of lemon peel. Paired with strawberries and aged cheddar. Fantastic!

When poured the color is very indicative of a well aged wine exhibiting tawny, brownish notes within the rouge. Aromas concur with notes of wet earth, aged cigar tobacco, worn shoe leather, cured meats and tart red berries bringing up the rear. A big rich style with abundant, velvety tannins, polished acid, striking racy red berry tartness mingling with graphite earth tones and a long finish. She's got years to go before she gives up her secrets. A special treat indeed. Popped and poured.
