We begin in France with a 2000 Chateaux Bel Air, Haut-Medoc, with rich, dark, mineralized fruit. Then off to Argentina for BBQ and the 2005 Felipe Rutini Malbec that shows black cherry and round oak notes. Then its all about Australia and the 2004 Lincoln Estate Black Lip Shiraz: the peninsulas. Rich sappy fruit with earth and balance. Enjoy!
