What is RSS?

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". It is a way to easily distribute a list of headlines, update notices, and sometimes inventory changes to a wide number of people. Think of it as a one-stop shop for all the stuff you want to read online. For the consumer, an aggregator or reader, either web-based or installed on your computer, ties it all together.

To make use of this information, you have to download and install an RSS feed reader like SharpReader. Every so often, the aggregator checks the RSS feeds you selected. You log on to the aggregator and see the updates to your favorite sites, blogs and stores, all in one place. For more information on RSS, please visit:

2007 dourthe berry bros & rudd good ordinary white
colour: pale straw nose: citrusy. sauvignon sharpness coming through. a bit one dimensional. taste: very pleasant at the price point. gooseberry, white grape skin. quite sharp though this improved and mellowed on the second day. this is a really good everyday white wine at a very reasonable price.

93-95

1985 Lynch-Bages
decanted and consumed over 2 days. colour: tawny garnet with fade to rusty rim. mature. nose: red cherry with a distinct sour note though not unpleasant. cassis and old cigar box. very attractive nose that I was expecting to fade fairly quickly but did not. taste: blackcurrant and red berries.a little green streak but this does not spoil the wine. delicious. this is a very fine wine which is now fully mature and should be consumed over the next 3-5 years.

1996 Talbot
colour: light garnet with a lightly tawny rim. nose: coffee bean. dusty oak. dark cherry. mature but not old. taste: this is a lovely fully mature medium to full bodied bordeaux. cherry flavours and autumnal fruit flavours to the fore. still quite tannic this is a wine that will charm you rather than blow you away with intensity. a little bit one dimensional but still very pleasant.currently in its drinking window it will not improve much further in bottle so may as well drink up now!

1983 Leoville Poyferre
colour: garnet with light tawny rim. nose: dusty oak. cedar. classic old claret. very muted red fruit. taste: smooth on the entry but with little weight or depth of flavour. nicely made but in decline. I have had better bottles of this before so feel that this bottle is not representative. grape skin on the finish. a bit backward. disappointing. REVIEW TEXT. this wine was much improved after 3 hours in the decanter. I have re-scored higher to reflect this improvement.

1970 Palmer
decanted and drank over the night. cork saturated but in one piece and level at top shoulder. colour: garnet core with tawny rim. young looking considering its nearly 40 years old. nose: saddle leather and tobacco. very nice classic old claret. plum? black berries coming through with time. taste: great acidity and persistent finish. this is mature now and is lovely to drink. red cherry core with a slight taste of ginger on the finish? I like this a lot.
