2002 Haut Brion. Wonderfully elegant nose, clean ceder, floral, ethereal. I'm not sure why people don't like this one more. yes weak vintage but so drink up [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] Lovely stuff indeed.
2005 Chateau Valrose. Fro the price ($20) what a deal. Everything you want from a mid price bordeaux and then built around it the context of the ripeness of the 05 vintage. solid fruit, good structure, nice hints of bordeau characteristics, good balance, if lacking some interest. If you can find at the price, get a couple.
