TN: 05 Fieuzal
05 Fieuzal (December 2008 in Lyon) - with my trip to Lyon in Dec 08, trip to NY in Jan 09 and moving apartments in Dubai in Jan 09, I seem to have misplaced some of my TNs, finding only the TN from day two for this wine: Thick, fresh concentrated cherry and blackberry, lots of smoke and wet gravel, very tannic finish. 89
Re: TN: 05 Fieuzal
I've had this twice about a year apart. The second go was better. The first time I found it quite simple and flat, a sweet cool-aid kind of wine lacking any backbone of tannin or acidity. In the second go it had tightened up some for the better. Still it seemed like a mostly sweetish blackberry affair. You must have got from the Parker barrel, or maybe this is trending up.

Or maybe you just drank the Fieuzal too quickly? My samplings of 05s under $50 have mostly been indicating good QPR. For example, I don't recall any Dauzac or Fieuzal ever being as good as the 05s. That said, I don't think either will ever become +95 pointers. Still, nice wines.
