Puig Parahy George 2007
Puig-Parahy
"
The Puig-Parahy 2007 Cotes du Roussillon Georges - a cuvee of Carignan and Grenache with a bit of Syrah, raised in tank (from which I tasted it) - smells of blackberry, wood smoke, toasted walnut, rosemary, and marjoram; offers a brightly-fruited, slightly tart and grainy palate impression, and finishes with a pungency of herb and fruit skin, a vigorous brightness, chalk and stone minerality, and sheer grip (accompanied by a faint 'chew') that can scarcely be expected from a wine destined to sell for so little. This whistle-clean beauty should remain virtually inert in tank, so that when Puig finally gets around to bottling and selling it, you will be able to count on at least a couple of years of very satisfying and versatile performance at table - not to mention amazing value.' - as described by Wine Advocate

Poesia 2003
Poesia
"
Winemakers Helene Garcin and Patrice Leveque have coaxed a ton of character from 70-year-old Malbec and Cabernet vines, and the result is juicy but dark, with asphalt and tar aromas sitting in front of tight but generous black fruit (cassis and blackberry). Finishing notes of coffee, mocha and char leave you happy. - as described by Wine Enthusiast

Jean Louis Chave Offerus St. Joseph 2006
Domaine Jean-Louis Chave
"
Very bright and racy, with mouthwatering damson plum, crushed cherry, lavender, iron and tobacco notes that race through the well-focused finish. Long and pure, with a lingering spice note. Drink now through 2011. 3,000 cases made.' as described by Wine Spectator
