Tonight, with inclement weather imminent, we hunkered down for a night at home and cooked a rack of lamb with orzo and broccoli. A suitable lamb wine was found in the ready-to-drink rack:
2005 La Fleur de Laussac Côtes de Castillon nose: plummy, dark berry fruit, brambly palate: medium body, moderately tannic, fruit, good acidity
Another of my mixed sampler case from Crush, this was a simple but decent Bordeaux. It certainly could go a few more years and might even improve some, but it's appealing now for its direct fruitiness.
