Today's Bordeau Tasting (Trade Event)

[TheEngineer]

I've not seen that wine before (in fact, most of the wines there I've not seen before). Unfortunately, I was hoping that there would be more white bordeaux to try as it is not something I buy much of and was hoping to learn a bit from the tasting.

Of the whites, I really did like the 2007 Chateau Beauegard Ducase and of the reds, it was the 2005 Chateau Plain Point that did it for me. It was showing well.

I failed to mention that overall, I was fairly impressed at the quality of the wines (these being not well known wines) as at least most of them were pretty solid bottles that would not be difficult to drink and are not even close to being an alternative to drano, especially given the price. Having said that, a few years ago (I can't believe I'm speaking this way.....), say a 2000 Destieux, Grand Meyney, Lagrange or a Grand Pontet were all in the $25 area and were a very compelling drink. This level has appeared to at least for now, moved up intot he $50 level.
