2004 Bodegas del Marqués de Vargas Rioja Reserva

Very good, but not a stellar wine. However, the very excellent 04 vintage shows through. This seems only a few years old, with vibrant acidity and fruit. Wow. Not stellar, but hard to believe it is that old! And yet it is better than really young. A winner, but kind of a unique on.

2006 Château Belgrave

Friendly right away, nice aromas, resolved tannins, fruit. I see wine on an arc, ascending and descending slowly. This is on descent and is pleasant. I wish I had drank some of my bottles the past few years, but still enjoyable now. Going to drink up soon though.

2005 Château Belair

Still good, mostly fruit driven, like aged cherry fruit, some cola notes, a little menthol early but maybe not after open. Basically good fruit base, more cherry, less cocoa and coffee of Left Bank. A little tannin taste, but resolved. Drinking well and easy. At times it reminds me of an aged bigger Burgundy with the fruit profile. Good. 13% not hot either. Not stellar but a solid enjoyable bottle. After open hours, half bottle, it still seems young. Again not stellar, but good and younger notes.
