I feel as though I need to get back to my first love, BORDEAUX. This $19.99 bottle of wine is well worth it. The first whiff of this beautiful Bordeaux has got my mouth watering. The nose has brought out fantastic dark fruit, stewed prunes, raisins, and blackberries. There is also bakers chocolate, vanilla and sweet tobacco. On the palate the dark fruit continues through, I get black currant, blackberries, prunes, tar. The great fruit flavors and medium body blend well with delectable tannin and earth notes with hints of spice. Very drinkable now and should work for for another 5-8 years. Super at this price point. — 12 years ago

I am excited to try this Bordeaux for it is the original Lynch Bages before Lynch Bages became Lynch Bages. Lynch Moussas was split into two in the 18th century to form Lynch Moussas and Lynch Bages. Lynch Moussas was Classified as a Classed Growth by the 1855 classification. I believe it is considered a Fifth Growth. This wine is made up of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. The aromas are of ripe plum, bakers chocolate, deep dark fruit. A totally beautiful bouquet. Big black currants, smooth ripe tannins, a nice smokiness, and well balanced. Medium + body, full mouth feel, with good dark fruit on the palate. This is a joy to drink and am very pleased with what I have found. — 12 years ago

Rye toast, cranberry laden gravy, and morel nose with cinnamon and peppercorns in prune smoke. There is dark chocolate in this miasma, too. Blood-thick, with enough residual oak to build your own "Cruz" ship. A virtual reliquary, this dark chunky beast swings like a bat across your front teeth, and doesn't forget the back! Big Spanish monster with hard clay, bonfire, plum reduction, and a brassy finish that hovers around in the shadows for a minute finishing with cassis and a little bakers chocolate for good measure. A steal at 13$! — 11 years ago

The 2006 Dal Forno Valpolicella Superiore Monte Lodoletta is a study in depth and richness. Completely opaque in the glass, with an inky robe of Quinacridone purple. Layered aromatics of dust, Italian plum, violet and cedar. Massive on the attack, with firm tannins that gradually subside to reveal a viscous and concentrated framework of blackberry reduction steeped in thyme, dried black cherries, bakers cocoa and peppercorn. The finish is bone dry and savory. — 12 years ago

Exceptional #CabernetSauvignon from the #2012Vintage refined and balanced, needed an hour decant to show the dried herb, berry and bakers cocoa. Slight menthol on the finish with balanced lingering tannins. — 11 years ago

Smoky toasted sesame seed nose with petrol notes masked by rosemary. Roses and underripe raspberry, atop a bakers chocolate slate. Medium mouthfeel, that adumbrates into a tart smoky cherry and cedar, then finishes with a Gevery C-like cran. Persistent, and delectable. A serious wine with approachable attitude. Lovely. — 12 years ago
