France on Snooth
We did a tasting last weekend and opened a
"2004 Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot " -
guys this burgundy is so elegant so well balanced - its like a velvetty caress of the most passionate lips ... you can taste the supple nuances of the grape and terroir as your tounge swirls around in her innate beauty ... you feel her warmth drip down your molars as your tounge explores the tannins ... as your lips gently suck down and you close your eyes to truly enjoy the passion you lose yourself to sheer extacy and joy .... she is so seductive - she will keep wanting you for more

aromas of currants, blackberries, cocoa, dark rich fruit on the palate with a peppery, zesty finish, rich and full bodied but an elegance to it and terrific balance of tannins, acidity, and flavor components.

Deep aromas of dark berries, well-balanced fruit and freshness, medium length on the finish, very pleasant.
Very good. Aromas of sweet berries, taste of blackberries, well-balanced. And a great label!
Great wine! Perfect balance of white fruit aromas, apricot and flowers, good acidity on the finish.
Excellent! Smooth, fresh aromas of blackcurrant, a little smoky, silky tannins on an elegant finish.

My top choice would be Syrah, especially from the Rhone. I'll allow Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir to fight for my second place, although I have to admit I'm not only talking Burgundy. I'll take Pinot from the US Pac NW...

Hi~i'm the new member..can anyone willing to tell me what type of wine can pair with this food: oysters served with fresh horseradish creme and lemon wedges...thank you
I agree with schellbe concerning Beaujolais, and you should try the AOC Chénas wines from Château des Jean-Loron. Here is the website : http://www.vins-de-bourgogne-sud.com You will find very original, typical and greedy wines.
