*Bodegas y Viñedos Ébano Crianza 2004 is a Ribena del Duero. That about says it all.
Ch. Paloumey 2005 Haut-Médoc, Cru Bourgeois Supérieur (classement 2003)
This reminds me very much of the "mathematics" in Jacques Lacan's "The subversion of the subject and the dialectic of desire in the Freudian unconscious": the seminal components of both (with even American oak being used in the wine) are horribly misused and the result is devoid of meaning. Post-modern drivel at its worst.
Vesevo Fiano di Avellino 2006
Then we opened up more of the lovely Fiano that I already wrote about. Lovely oxidative style, appley. Charming.
Jean-Marc Burgaud Morgon Côte du Py "James" 2006 was much too young: tightly coiled up, hugely tannic, The oak I noticed on my first taste a few months back is not showing as strongly but rather a bright, stern, gravelly, classic Morgon character is shining through. I very much like Burguad's wines.
