:lolsign: I don't feel too ace this morning
Ipswich Beer festival this weekend, coupled with the Maritime Ipswich Festival - less than 5 minutes from the house, nice weather, and loads of Real Ale to try - sod the housework and gardening. :) Report to follow - if I can type.
Been ‘drinking up’ some of the 2005 and 2006 Bordeaux:
2006 Château Camail
http://www.bawineclub.co.uk/images/products/61501b.jpg
A Premières Côtes de Bordeaux. Château bottled. 12.5% ABV
~ £10 a bottle
2006 was a difficult year producing wines of variable quality. This was one of the better ones. Excellent with lamb
2006 Château Labourdette

Château bottled. 12% ABV
~ £10 a bottle
“This Bordeaux is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet; having the sharp taste and the structured tannins of the Cabernet, with at the same time, the mellowness of the Merlot. Together, they create a lovely purple color and a nose of plums and tobacco. The taste is plummy with a touch of pepper and spearmint.”
2005 Château Colombier – Monpelou Pauillac
http://www.cellartracker.com/labels/90153.jpg
65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot
Château bottled. 13% ABV
~ £15 a bottle
This estate neighbours Mouton Rothschild, overlooking Pauillac. I’m drinking a glass of this now: well balanced, fruity and powerful with subtle tannins. Excellent!
They look very nice Barry, but not a patch on what we were drinking last week in Greece:

Yes - but drink too much of that and and what are the 'detox clinic' fees? :lol:Quote:

Oh! - I'm sure as a self effacing "dry table wine", it was fine. It's the "1.5 litres for £2.40" that could have me drinking far too much. :eyebrows:Quote:
