I picked up this right-bank Bordeaux from Thorold Wines, a local shop which was fortunate enough to feature in this month's (April 2010) Decanter magazine. The subject is a feature on independent wine shops and their place in the community following the collapse of First Quench (Threshers/Wine Rack).I was looking for a Bordeaux, and Daniel Thorold, the proprietor, actually recommended some 2004s, but I stubbornly choose this 2005 on the basis of the vintage. I think I should have listened to him, because I found this a bit lean and austere, which I wasn't really expecting. In truth I think that's what the shop owner was trying to tell me. It had a tarry nose and good grip, but I think it would have been nicer with Sunday lunch, rather than homemade burgers.

Thanks for sharing the review of Chateau de Roques Puysseguin-St. Emilion 2005. Never tasted it, would love to try it this weekend. Colonialgifts.co.uk
ReplyDeleteMaybe the trick is not to spend £12.95 on a wine to go with burgers...
