Chateau Brane-Cantenac
A medium-bodied wine, its complex and intense aromas
of rose petals, tart cherries, dried herbs and currants
are its outstanding attribute. Well-balanced and elegant,
it is a pretty drink for ladies, but substantial enough
for the manliest of men.
Chateau Canon-la-Gaffeliere
Easy-drinking but still so sexy, this wine is brimming
over with aromas and flavors of dark chocolate and dried
cherries.
Chateau
Figeac
Perhaps its the pursuasion of the name, but
this wine is brimming with aromas of mission figs.
A heavy oak influence gives it a slight eucaliptus
aroma but the wine is still tight. Its fruit characteristics
will probably eventually overtake the flavors of oak,
but only time will tell.
Chateau Larcis Ducasse
Textbook Bordeaux, the wine has a beautiful structure
and a lengthy finish. Aromas are complex and resemble
a woodland floor. Flavors are dominated by black plums
and currants.
Chateau Lynch-Bages
A ruby red wine with distinctive tobacco aromas and
just a hint of cocoa and stewed plums, this vintage
of Lynch-Bages shows just why the chateau is considered
among collectors favorite Bordeaux.
Chateau Rauzan-Segla
A personal favorite of mine for its sexy style, this
wine is super juicy and none too serious. Aromas are
of brambles and blackberries and the flavor in the
mouth is almost pure blackberry juice. Yum!
Chateau Siran
An elegant wine with almost perfect structure and
restraint, it is a beautiful example of the demure
side of Bordeaux. Black fruits dominate in flavor
with a hint of caramel coloring the long finish.
