Information on a bottle of wine

[wineguruchgo]

Hi Trish!

Welcome to the wineboard!

The bordeaux will be predominately Merlot because it's from St. Emilion. 1998 was a very good vintage so this bottle will probably last a few more years. Keep it cool and away from sunlight. It could be a third or fourth lable of La Tour - I'm just not sure.

The Bianchi Novello is stumping me. Generally Novello is comprised of Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet - yet this one is white. I'm just not sure.

The Dubouef Julienas La Trinquee is a beaujolais. The 02' vintage got a great rating in Spectator and because it's not a "nouveau" you are in good shape. That one can be laid down for a few more years. Again, cool place - no sunlight.

I'm sure others will have opinions as well.

Hope that helps.
