- VouvrayHead - 06-12-2009 They need to make a message icon up there for "blissed-out grin." This is the fourth bottle of a 6 pack I got for $19 a pop (I just searched to see what recent vintages are going for, and suffice it to say I won't be able to get more of this until Claire's done with med school...) The last 3 bottles have varied from good to very good, though the most recent one before tonight was a bit long in the tooth. Not so with this one... This bottle is quite simply one of the best wines I have ever tasted. Rich, complex, perfectly balanced, shows beautifully in both fruit and secondary flavors, nose-stuck-in-the-glass fragrance and equally impressive to the tongue. This is just stunning wine. sigh.

WW - VouvrayHead - 06-15-2009 Well, Winoweenie, it's hard to say what it was. I got them for $19, but I think it was after a distributor dump. Looks like they retailed around twice that normal retail. The real unfortunate thing is that recent vintages have been $70+ up to triple-digits.

Slovenian), and still knocked me out. |
