    More drinking- Bordeaux and Rhone

    Clos du Marquis 1984
    Lovely old claret. Great nose on this.Lovely weight on the palate. Not tired exactly but a bit hollow on the mid palate. The palate doesn't quite live up to the lovely aroma. Lovely drink this.

    Beaucastel 1998 Chateauneuf Du Pape
    A very clean Beau. This is drinking beautifully at the moment. There are no secondary characteristics, just nice integrated Chateauneuf. Ripe clean pure fruit. Lovely

    Charvin 1998 Chateauneuf Du Pape
    Initially I thought I had my glasses the wrong way around. A bit of a volatile stink bomb here. Much more funky than the Beaucastel and quite high toned. Not unlike a Burgundy style Musar.
    Interesting and pleasant but not a typical Charvin.

    Domaine Versino Cuvee des Felix 2000 Chateauneuf Du Pape
    My first time trying this wine. The first thing that strikes me is how similar it smells to the regular bottling. It has lots of garrique and hints of spice and leather. It's not bretty but not entirely 'clean' either. A light cherry colour. It's quite refreshing on entry and has quite a fruity palate. Ripe Grenache.On the first night there was a touch of stalkyness on the finish but on night two this has disappeared.
    I'd love to try it alongside the straight Versino as I'm not sure its worth double the money. Having said that it is wonderfully moreish and it certainly will not make it to night 3!

    Paco,
    I don't know if you had a look at my other post on a very good days drinking recently!!
    We had the LLC 1961 which was superb. It's an estate I'm not usually very fond of as I find the wines quite hard to appreciate. They seem quite stern and don't often deliver a much enjoyment(limited experience though).

    I have had an 89 which was also wonderful. The 90 was the first Beaucastel I bought back in 92. Fans of this wine argue over whether the 89 or 90 is best.
