Bordeaux Château Parenchere Bordeaux Superior 2006
Snoothrank:
Starting at $16.99 The bottle recommends decanting for 2 hours; I recommend an overnight decant. After 2 hours it was still pretty austere. Balanced pretty well, but just kind of difficult to capture. By the next day it had exploded. The nose wasn't overpowering, but it was direct and the wine... Read more

Chateau Batailley Pauillac 1996
Snoothrank:

M. Chapoutier Hermitage Monier de la Sizeranne 2003
Snoothrank:
Deep and dark, this is powerful stuff. Dark fruit is quickly replaced by mint, aniceed and tar and the finish goes on forever. It isn't cheap but its a very nice glass.

Domaine Michèle & Patrice Rion Chambolle-Musigny Premiere Cru les Charmes 2001
Snoothrank:

For my tastes, living in the Washington, DC metro area, French wines have better value than California wines. I can find many French reds, particularly from the Rhone Valley, in the $15 to $20 price range that are better than anything I have had from California in that price range.
