Vintages Shop Online May 31, 2012 Release

Here are my favourites of the 8 wines tasted for this release ... no notes are given, just the star rating; although the top rated wine will have a note:

Three-and-a-Half-Plus Star Wines (*** ½+) …
Chateau La Couspaude 2008 ($72.00 - #229245) - Bordeaux, France
Chateau La Gaffeliere 2008 ($84.00 - #136127) - Bordeaux, France
Chateau Malescot St. Exupery 2008 ($64.00 - #137109) - Bordeaux, France

Four Star Wines (****) …
Fuligni Ginestreto Rosso di Montalcino 2009 ($24.00 - #245241)
Black Widow 2008 Single Vineyard Hourglass ($54.00 - #258822) - black cherry, toffee, and plum are most noticeable, then comes the big 14.9% alcohol which gives this one a port-like feel in the mouth.
