Château De Pitray 2010, Castillon Côtes De Bordeaux A.C., France: A big-boned French red wine with a firm tannic grip so it needs cellar time but this baby is hugely delicious! When you (finally) open it, decant 2 hours and pair with a rare steak. Highly recommended. Drink: 2015-2019. 405688 14% XD 750 mL  $22.95 Score: 90/100. April 4, 2015 Luscious Lamb Wine Full Review
Gérard Bertrand Terroir Fitou 2011, Midi A.C., France: Juicy-delicious, absolutely wonderful aromas and flavours of fleshy black jam, blackberry pie and some smoke. This is a dry, full-bodied wine but the riot of aromas are amazing. Drink: 2015-2020. 403683 14.50% XD 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 92/100. November 14, 2015 Best Value Red Wine.

Château Haut Selve Réserve 2010, Graves, Bordeaux A.C., France: The Graves region of southern Bordeaux tends to produce the biggest red wines in the Bordeaux region. This is no exceptional. The difference here is a gorgeous balance, layered complexity and supple enticing aromas of fleshy black fruit and toasty oak. This wine has remarkable intensity and concentration for just 13.5% alcohol -- love it! Drink: 2017-2022. 235424 13.50% XD 750 mL  $27.95 Score: 93/100. April 4, 2015 Top Rated Red Wine.
