edub's Review:

Medium bodied, with cherry fruit, finesse, OK acidity and tannins. A good wine to drink now, as table wine, but pleasing and a good value.

edub's Review:

A bit hot and unassuming, but after a few hours of air, the cab franc began to some out for the better, and the wine showed jammy fruit, OK balance, medium body and a bit of spice, with tar and dark fruit. Good it you give it some air.

edub's Review:

Big, lush ripe, dark cherries with oak, spice and zesty, with a little air, becomes perfumed with crushed flowers, lilac, softens, with a dry, yet intriguing finish. A good bang for the buck. I would give it a solid 3.5 stars if they chose a better label for the bottle :-)

edub's Review:

A bit of sweet oak on the nose along with plummy fruit. Tight, but flashy, yet at times unassuming and closed. We tasted this wine over a 6 hour period after decanting. After 6 hours the plummy fruit became fresh dark cherry, way more youthful, and more balanced with finesse, but at the same time big red fruits. I enjoyed it a great deal. Needs a few years or several hours of decanting.

edub's Review:

medium bodied with appealing red fruits, smokey dark cherries and chocolate. After an hour or two of decanting the wine gains a bit more flesh, with more ripe fruit. This wine is fresh and well balanced. Excellent Value!

edub's Review:

The Label states: Chateau Vieux Moulin from Puisseguin Saint- Emilion 2005Very Light in Style, but not old school classic, nose of cherries and flowers, a touch of milk chocolate, a fair amount of tannins, but a bit thin and short. Hard to believe it's from the 2005 vintage , due to it seeing a bit diluted.Still not bad for the price, but leaves me wanting a bit more.

edub's Review:

A nice, concentrated wine with some tannins dark fruits, spice, fairly balanced, a bit new world, and unexpected but very seductive and rather splendid. Excellent Value. Purchased at Astor Wines for $9.99 One of the best values of the decade!

edub's Review:

Capezzana Barco Reale di Carmignano 2006:Dark, rich, full with black cherries, licorice, tart berries, yet smokey and ripe. A pretty big bang for the buck.

edub's Review:

Nose of rare meats, spice, white pepper, taste of ripe red fruits, strawberries, clove, sweet tobacco, tad of tar, dry, good acidity,yet velvety, goes well steak, drink now or lay down for a few years. A an hour or two in a decanter is a good idea. This wine is usually solid, and this 2005 vintage is no exception.

edub's Review:

Nose of smokey, dark fruits, tastes of grapey, tar, full and plush, good tannins, well integrated in 2009. Holds up to wines that are more than double in price. Wonderful!
