Format

Most of the posts will focus on a single wine.  Every couple weeks, I'll try to summarize all of the wines discussed so far for a particular type of wine like Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon.  Occasionally, I'll offer a news article or a "How to" article on various topics (tasting wine, collecting wine, storing wine, etc.).  The posts are tagged with keywords that are listed on the right side below.

2005 Chateau d'Escurac, Medoc, Bordeaux

Robert Parker rated this wine with 89 points, "One of the finest cru bourgeois in the Medoc, this impeccably made 2005 exhibits notions of black olives, black currants, spice box, and cedar in its complex, classically-styled bouquet.  Medium-bodied with excellent purity, richness and power, sweet tannin, beautiful fruit, and admirable depth, this is a sleeper of the vintage.  Drink it over the next decade."  The list price is $22.
