2005 Domaine du Carroi Bourgueil Cuvée Tradition
4/10/2010 - delice wrote: 78 Points
La Manche Wine Circle - Loire Reds #3 (La Bloutiere): Darkest of all the wines in the flight - viscous. Concentrated, ripe blackcurrant fruit with cedar and fresh coltsfoot. An easy-drinker with soft tannins. Another good BBQ wine with enough weight to go well with char-grilled meats and spicy marinades. Drinking well now. DG

2006 Château la Varière Anjou-Villages Brissac

La Manche Wine Circle - Loire Reds #3 (La Bloutiere): Black red sombre robe with crystal clear highlights - no signs of ageing. Ripe, rich, sweet black fruit - far more complex and concentrated than the others in the flight with hints of cherry tobacco, vanilla, pepper and confiture. Velvety smooth on the well-balanced palate with a pleasant bitterness on a medium-long finish. Great food wine with the potential to age well - a real Bordeaux-beater! IH

2008 Domaine de la Morandière Chinon

La Manche Wine Circle - Loire Reds #3 (La Bloutiere): Very dark red, ruby rim and good legs. Tingly 'bonbons' aromas at first then sweet, ripe fruit. Almost a Burgundy-style nose. Nice balanced palate, good acidity; refreshing and clean. One to keep 2-3 years. PH
