2005 a Desert Odyssey

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Just another quick review from my Wine Society 2005 Bordeaux and this time it’s Ch. Moulin du Barrail, Bordeaux Supérieur, Cuvée Prestige.

Quick learning point – “Elevé en Fût de Chêne” – if you see this on a bottle it simply means aged in oak, and this wine was.  Although it tasted more like a piece of sandpaper on a cream cracker in the desert, it left such a dry taste in the mouth.

Ch. Moulin du Barrail…..and a bottle of the excellent Islay Malt - Ardbeg (for some reason)
