2005 Casa Lapostolle Cuvee Alexandre Merlot

[Drew]

This wine was dissappointing having had the stellar 2003. Simple and somewhat flabby with dark cherry and chocolate notes. Could be in a dumb phase and bought two so I'll wait some time before opening the other. Usually a very solid bottle. 14.5% Alc/vol.
$22.

I was impressed with the producer's Chardonnay recently and have picked up a Sauvignon Blanc to try. Haven't had the reds.
