TN: A 2004 CdP -- get it by the case while you can

At $25 a bottle (from K&L), this is a no-brainer. This is a real value that I enthusiastically recommend. Traditionally styled, this deeply-hued middleweight is packed with black raspberries, black cherries and Provencal herbs. There is nice depth and balance, with tannins that should age out well over the near term. This is the kind of wine you can enjoy now, or let it age peacefully over the next decade; 91/93.

Oh yeah, the wine -- 2004 Mas de Boislauzon CdP. I ordered a mixed case of wines to try for potential future orders. After tasting this one, I ordered three cases on the spot. The makeup of the wine is 90 percent Grenache and 10 percent Mourvedre. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

It is $39.95 here in Ontario. Was released just a few weeks ago and, according to the LCBO Web site, there certainly seems to be lots still around.

Randy, thanks! After drinking that St. Cosme the other night, we agreed that this is the area of our cellar most in need of help. I'll order some.

Thanks, Bucko..How is the wood treatment with this wine? You didnt mention it so I'm guessing there isnt much of a new wood profile?

Talking about Rhone Bill, one of the Perrins is in town and tasting tonite. There will be a couple of high enders so should be fun eh.

I don't know their barrel rotation program, but I am not a wood fan, and there was no overuse of same for my palate.
