    Very light in color - pinot noir like. Nose of forrest and flowers, but in the mouth red raspberries and red cherries. Nice finish is balanced and shows signs of potential.

  • 2006 E. Guigal Crozes-Hermitage 86 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Crozes-Hermitage

    Deep red in color. Not much on the nose - bit of earth, dirt, moss. A little more going on in the mouth with some dark fruit mixed with forrest floor and mint. Decent balance and a nice finish.

  • 2005 Château Dauzac La Bastide Dauzac 88 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux

    Delicious nose of red and black fruit - predominately red cherries and sour black cherries. More earthy in the mouth with chocolate notes scattered with mint and dust. Long finish - should age well. Favorite of the night.
