Dourthe - Chateau Pey La Tour

Producer: DourtheName: Chateau Pey La Tour

Region: Bordeaux, France Vintage: 2007 Price: ~ $14

This was the last wine that I tasted on “Games Night 2009″ and I’ve had it before. From what I remember on my previous tastings it was quite good and reasonably priced. When I tasted it this time it was already late into the night. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I don’t remember what it tasted like because I was drunk. I had such a great time with the Pazzo I didn’t really save room for the Bordeaux.

Since I don’t remember how it tasted I’ve included a short review of some wine douche from Boston. He writes:

Big nose once you first cork the wine, however I found it to be a slim body for a Bordeaux. Can smell the earth, dirt, and must of a typical Bordeaux but lacks the great pallet taste. Not bad to have around the house for people who don’t know good wine but like Bordeaux’s.

So, I think what he’s saying is that this wine would be good enough for the peasants but the bourgeoisie would never drink it…
