2005 Dom l'Espigouette Cote Du Rhone V.V.: This is the gold label and I recently posted a favorable note on this. Everything I like in a CdR and drinks well above its sub $10 price point. I re-stocked the cellar and this is now one of my house reds. These should continue to improve with a few years in the cellar, but I'm sure mine will be long gone before they peak.
2005 Bois de Boursan CdP: I've posted on this wine previously and I continue to be impressed by it. For me, it is a WOW!! Elegant, yet complex, with depth and balance. Classic CdP without going over the top in ripeness and alcohol. Cellar worthy for sure. Good value at less than 1/2 the $$ of the following wine.
2005 Pegau Reservee: Let's get this out of the way: This is an impressive bottle of wine, but alas it is priced way beyond my means. However, if you are in the habit of spending more than $80 for CdP, then this is the real deal. Everyone was oohing and ahhhing, but given the experience level of the group thay may have been impressed by the hype the local distributor was laying on pretty thick.
