My picks for November...

This is my wine picks for November.


2007 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, Châteauneuf du Pape
It is all about red fruit, wax, some smoke... a beauty on the palate. Very strong tannins and needs probably some 15 - 20 year and I'm looking forward to it (91 pts.)


2006 Bandol Domaine de la Bastide Blanche
Kind of blockbuster wine but very special. With dark espresso nose, quite and... well enigmatic. Long finish ending very dry. Changeling vine and quite different from what I've tasted so far. Superb value and I'm definitely going to explore Bandol reds (88 pts.)


2001 Château La Fleur Tressac
Pleasant and friendly, but lacking real complexity. (84 pts.)
