Chateau du Tertre, 1996. Brief.


Chateau du Tertre is a blended wine from Margaux, in Bordeaux. It is made from Cabernet S., Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Fifth Groth. It's one of my favorite wines, with such a nice nose, spicy, long and smooth finish, plus the flavor from the best wines from Margaux.

Dolcetto D'Alba, Roagna, 2005. Brief.


Nice, alcoholic, entry level, kind of strong and inexpensive Dolcetto. Needs air before drinking.
