I can't help it; when I get ready to try a Medoc I can't help but think of "The Telltale Heart" and I go all Edgar Allen Poe. I do resist the temptation to wall somebody up of course..really I do. This '09 is really a steal for the price. The values in second growth Bordeaux in '09 through '11 are excellent. The La Grave is really good; deep leather and dirt that makes Bourdeux so different than anything Cali can do. I like it right out of the bottle but a half hour makes a big difference and the depth and complexity really improves the finish. It really does stay on the tongue. So I'll stay off the EAP tendencies and won't say "never more". I'll say gimme another glass. Hold the bricks though.

Pretty decent '05. Lighter style up front but nice wood combined with a very nice combination of dried lavender and tobacco notes. What the tobacco is doing I have no idea but it's there so deal with it. Seriously very nice spacer between big bottle at dinner.
