|
ALCOHOL: 13.0%

| COMMENTS: |
Thin, not much nose, but long finish. Dry, without any fruitiness. Probably would not buy again.

2005 Chateau Bellevue Lugagnac
(France / Bordeaux)
|
ALCOHOL: 12.5%
RATED: 03/03/2010 |
|
|
|
| COMMENTS: |
This wine was somewhat of a disappointment, and is proof that while 2005 was a great year for Bordeaux wines, not all Bordeaux wines were great. While it paired well with charcoal-broiled ribeye steaks, it fell short of being a good "sipping" wine - astringent on the palate, with a somewhat bewildering aroma... not bad, but... different.
Probably not a "buy again."

I took a chance on this unknown wine, and was pleasantly surprised. It had a fairly small, but nice, nose; good clarity; very dark red color; very dry; very long finish; lots of tannins. But at the price, I would definitely buy it again.

Excellent wine. Not the typical big bold Californian but with some fineness. Beautiful bouquet of black currants, smooth tannins, well-balanced, and a long finish.

Wonderful find. We enjoyed this wine at our Christmas Eve-Eve family dinner, and all who partook loved it. I suspect with another couple of years aging, it will get even better. A definite "buy again" wine (if I can still find it!).

Had this bottle for a while... No idea how long, where I got it, or what I paid. I was sort of put off by the "Neonato" designation, but decided to open it to go with a hearty, rich beef stew. What a pleasant surprise! It paired perfectly with the stew and really made the meal. I will definitely buy again (if I can find it!).

Forward and characterful nose and fine velvety cherry fruit - a little high in acidity but refreshingly so, and showing a lot of class.

| COMMENTS: |
This wine was recommended by the sommalier at Market Street (who knew a supermarket would have a sommalier?), and he was spot on. My untrained palate can't identify all the subtle flavors and aromas; so suffice it to say this was really, really good. We enjoyed it with two pasta dishes: shells in red sauce and cannolini in a white cream sauce, and it was wonderful. I will definitely buy more of this wine.

Beautiful ruby color with a very fragrant bouquet, perfumes of light flowery notes that just went on and on. Nose of black currants, cherries, plums. Medium bodied, silky tannins. Well-balanced and rounded texture. Long finish. Very good wine!

| COMMENTS: |
This was a really good wine, FOR THE PRICE. Lots of tannins; not much nose; medium-long finish. Can't comment on the flavor nuances (untrained palate!), but it went well with dinner of boeuf borguignon (sp?). Definite "buy again," but this time I'd let it cellar for a much longer time.
