Was this the blanc or rouge?

For my wife's 40th yesterday:

-2005 Clos des Papes
-2004 Clos des Papes

My favorites, in order, were the 2006, 2003, 2004 and 2005. All of them were beautiful.

Rouge. I haven't tried their blanc yet.

2001 Pegau Reservee.

2010 hamilton russel chard
2005 tour de by (blech)
1983 ch. Kirwan (long gone)

2006 Stefania Eagle Point Ranch Syrah - received my 2013 Stefania Fall release order form so thought it would be appropriate to open this while filling out my order .

2007 SQN pictures Grenache. Paired beautifully with a charcuterie plate and short ribs. Give it an hour in the decanter and enjoy.

2005 Luis Cañas Rioja Riserva- solid, about a 90

2010 DOMAINE TOUR ST.-MICHEL
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Feminessance

Young with great potential

2006 Santadi Terre Brune

2003 Araujo Altagracia

great wine. Assumed this would easily cellar for another 5+ years, but not quite sure now. Vs. a 2005 I had a few weeks ago, this is already showing some (albeit very minimal) signs of losing its fruit. Perhaps a vintage-vintage difference.

How was it? I have some of the 2005. I think this is just about the best wine made on Sardinia.

Board-O-
Are you actually taking a position that you are somewhat of an authority regarding Italian wines?

Nice. How did your bottle show?

And did you enjoy Jaleo?
