Château Clerc Milon 1997 -  Charming! Overall, I’m very happy with this wine and glad I own a few more bottles. This one needs decanting time, it really doesn’t open up for at least an hour. Overall balanced, a tad bit acidic and tannic, but not awful so. Classic dusty fruit, lead pencil, tobacco, barn, spice, all mixed with a vibrant red current and cherry note. Short to medium length finish. The finish certainly builds wit.The finish certainly builds with more air time and drinks very well at hour two.On the nose very classic Pauillac aromas of cassis and cigar box. some red fruits, some baking spice, not getting any green or unripe aromas. On the palate the wine has moderate acidity, a firm and very cabernet midpalate which lacks a bit of depth, a very nice transition into a moderately tannic finish

Mollydooker Shiraz “The boxer”

Lots of different kinds of berries, menthol, some spice cake, anise and bacon. Concentrated, big, rich and ripe, it offers a very spicy palate with some licorice and cumin seed coming through,medium level of velvety tannins, lively acidity.

Les Alees de CANTEMERLE  - grand vin de bordeux 2005 haut medoc 

A bit thick but smooth soft tannins for me , plum and oak smell , there is a strength in sourness some people might like . It has an almond after taste. After an hour a toffee smell will reveal.
