An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!

2003 Domaine Les Grands Bois "Cuvee Les Trois Soeurs" Cotes du Rhone
Soft (not bright, of course, because it's a 2003) medium black ruby color. Very leathery and sharp-scented at first, but with air time it opened up to show bright cherry-raspberry fruit, with lemony and dry leather scents underneath. Earthy raspberry fruit in the mouth, with some (but not unpleasant levels of) hotness and astringency. Pretty good, as 2003s from the southern Rhone go. 86. Was $10.99 at Richard's on Shepherd.

Can you put a list in the right pane that lists all wines by number? For instance all the wines you have rated that got a 96. All the wines that you have rated that got a 93, etc. etc. That way I can sort by wines you liked or wines you didn't like.
