2003 - Chateau Palmer Bordeaux Blend |
Superior Margaux Wine |
| Jul 10, 2009 |
|
|
| A visit to Chateau Palmer conveys the meticulous attention to all the details. Very ship shape and buttoned down operation. Opulent, fleshy wines, with cabernet jam, and rich floral aromas. The wines have an elegant look and taste. Bargain priced $69. at Bordeaux Specialist www.mndfinewine.com |

2005 - Mission Haut Brion, La Bordeaux Blend |
Giant from the Barrell |
| Jul 08, 2009 |
|
|
 One of the highlights of the Barrell Tastings in 2006, the entire Domaine Dillon was stellar. This is a monumental wine; a cornerstone of any serious cellar. I buy to enjoy and this is one of the most reliable purchases you can make. $349.00 per bottle at Bordeaux Specialist, www.mndfinewine.com |

2003 - Tour Haut-Brion, La Bordeaux Blend |
SWAN SONG |
| Jul 08, 2009 |
|
|
This popular Chateau, part of the Haut Brion stable since 1983 will make its last vintage in 2005. The juice will now go into La Mission Haut Brion and its second label. This 2003 has a dense jammy nose of blueberry and earthy floral overtones. $37.00 at Bordeaux Specialist www.mndfinewine.com . |

2005 - Jadot, Louis Volnay Clos de la Barre Pinot Noir |
MONOPOLE FROM JADOT |
| Jul 07, 2009 |
|
|
Jadot must have acquired the Monopole of Volnay Clos de la Barre in 2005, because I remember other growers having the wine. Quite good, but I will retaste when the weather is cooler. No defects, but I want it to rest a few months. $34.99 at www.mndfinewine.com |

2005 - Jadot, Louis Savigny les Beaune les Guettes Chardonnay |
Classy White Burgundy |
| Jul 07, 2009 |
|
|
| This is great surprise. Very elegant and classy, rich minerality. I had not drunk a Savigny les Beaune from Jadot for quite a while. It is a Gagey Family property, and I can see why. Under $19. at www.mndfinewine.com |
