Chateau Ferriere 2005, Grand Cru Classe, Margaux, Bordeaux ($100)

Be careful when believing adverts offering religious experiences. 2005 Bordeaux - the vintage of a lifetime. Buy any wine you can - they'll all be worth it. No doubt this is a nice wine, but the Douro wines I've recently drunk were as good, and the Vallado had strong parallels in the taste experience at a third of the price. A bit like Sean Connery finding our who Zardoz really was.
