  • 2006 Château Rouget 91 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol

    nose - pungent nose of smoke, mesquite, and roasted meat. This is the most distinctive nose of the evening - is it from the barrel treatment?? mouth - cornucopia of red and dark fruits, almost fruit punch like, yet fully dry. Considerable tannins. Already showing very well.

  • 2005 Château Haut-Bages Libéral 85 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

    nose - toasty oak.
    mouth - light red fruit. i did not appreciate the spiciness that was touted. One of the more expensive wines of the night , yet paradoxically to me seemingly lacking in complexity.
