Bordeaux closeout....

Bargain Bordeaux - closeouts...



Lowest price on Wine Searcher by far....

2006 Chateau Laforge St. Emilion....$36.99
"From the bottle, the 2006 Laforge, which was not included in the February report, was rated 93. A brilliant wine for the vintage, it possesses sweet tannins, abundant fruit, and remarkable concentration and intensity for this vintage."

Rated 93/100 The Wine Advocate



Lowest price in the country on Wine Searcher!!

2006 Chateau Grand Destieux....$21.99

"Proprietor Christian Dauriac’s 12-acre vineyard in St.-Emilion’s commune of Ste.-Hippolyte can produce beefy, tannic, rustic-styled wines, but over recent vintages he has tamed the tannins, producing more charm and finesse in his cuvees. The deep, opaque purple-tinged 2006 reveals attractive creme de cassis and blackberry notes intermixed with hints of graphite and roasted herbs. Dense, medium to full-bodied, and powerful with high, but sweet, well-integrated tannins, this lovely wine should be at its finest between 2013-2026."

Rated 90/100 The Wine Advocate


"Aromas of toasty oak and berries follow through to a medium body, with chewy tannins and a medium finish. Polished and attractive. This has a solid core of fruit. Best after 2012. 2,830 cases made. –JS"
Rated 90/100 The Wine Spectator
