Cheers Viog,

For me though, you found the ultimate bargain at the Co-Op with that Puligny - A few luxuries don't go amiss.

However the 2005 Mount Pleasant Elizabeth Sem is / or was a very nice wine. Sem without oak on 2005 - how well is it holding ? Anyone ?

Of the Bourillon d'Orleans offer, that is a half bottle Viog, do you know this wine ? I do like botrytis chennin, the Vouvray Moelleux has increased considerably in value since I bought the very heavy 75cl bottles of '03 and couple of the '05, So for once in my life
I opened an '03 in Xmas '09 or was it '10, the wine still not developing a lot of complexity at 5 + years at that point (good for 30 years they say). So, the 2010/11 offer at Maj may not over excite us ! For quite a while....

I opened one of those Steak House Cab's the other week. I'm not too sure of the vintage but it was one of either '06, '07, or '08. I picked it up on one of the previous Co-op new year bin ends. Either last year or the year before. It had a £3 square red sticker on it .

It's nice enough. An easy drinker, low on tannin and body. Much as the review on that website. No real complexity though.

Have one in the fridge for this evenings fish supper and movie night, will let you know.
