Wines Tasted - May 31, 2010

Chateau de Montmirail - Cuvee des Deux Freres - Vacqueyras - 2007 - $24 - (Classic, Showpiece, Ager) - I couldn't say enough great things about this wine not only upon opening but through the last drop.  Bright, clear, medium+ ruby color.  Fruit aromas of blackberry jam, plum jam, and ripe raspberry & black cherry.  A spicy/peppery note, also with dried lavender and dried flower petals as well as a mild salami note.  Medium+ viscosity was evidence of a well made 2007.  All the CdP qualities are here but at 1/2 the price!  Drink it or keep it, you choose, but don't forget it, it's too good.
